SoxFan1 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I am sick and tired of this s***! Everyone always has to find something negative abou the Sox! What the f***? We have a lot to be optomistic and anxious about! Heres a few off the top of my head: Will Olivo ever hit a curveball? Will Konerko have at least a DECENT 1st half? Will Willie finally show that he deserves to start? Will Jose bat better than .250? Will Crede shine into the All-Star we all know he can be? Will C-Lee do better than last year and become an All-Star? Will Aaron be able to stay injury/wall free? Will Maggs continue to be the RBI guy we need? Will Frank stop hitting for the fences? Will Ozzie be the perfect guy for the job? Will E-Lo be an All-Star once again and win Cy Young? Will Buehrle be as good as expected? Will we even have a 5th starter? Will Takatsu be as good as advertised? Will Koch blow a lot of games? As you can see, we Sox fans have much to watch for and have a lot to be anxious about! Stop being pessimistic and root, root, root, for the home team! GO SOX!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZZ-fest 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I agree, we have alot to be optomistic about. Being a pessimist is the safe route though. The less expectations we have the more excited we can get when the team plays well. Last season was a heartbreaker, and I don't think anyone wants to set themselves up for that again.

Steff Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Actually, I have had no caffiene today. Im just really pissed. I understand.. but c'mon. We're Sox fans. We've always had the highest hopes and always been let down. This year some are just skipping the "hopes" part of the routine. It will make things even sweeter when they kick ass!!

quade36 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I don't know if I am as optimistic this year as I was last, but I can say I am looking more forward to this year then last. I am so excited about this team chemistry concept. Yes the media of chicago is trying their hardest to disrupt it, but as it seems, its just making them closer. The one element I thought they never had last year, even in spring training was team chemistry. I loved seeing Frank have a smile on his face the first day of ST. I love hearing how Guillen is telling everyone to make a strong effort to get to know Shingo Takatsu. This team has so much potential to be fun to watch. This is the first year I am not going to care about any other team in a long time. Just the Sox. I think they will be fun to watch and read about. Surely, at least it will be fun to make our great sports writers eat their words.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillieHarris2 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'm so sick of everyone always forgeting about us because of those damn cubs.

Texsox Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I understand.. but c'mon. We're Sox fans. We've always had the highest hopes and always been let down. This year some are just skipping the "hopes" part of the routine. It will make things even sweeter when they kick ass!! Exactly. Does anyone else remember the blown save by Koch and the opening series against the Royals? Sorry, if the Sox had done anything during the off season besides letting a couple players go, I'd be optimistic. We lost key pieces of a 2nd place team and expect to win?!

YASNY Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 You want optimism? Here ya go.... Olivo: A full season under his belt. Look for all around improvement. Konerko: He can't possibly have a season as bad as last year. So, there is an upgrade from the 1B spot. Harris: Jiminez sucked, Alomar was OK. I can see Harris performing acceptably. Valentin: Still very solid Crede: Like Olivo, look for him to improve Maggs: Maggs had a slighly below average year. I expect better this year. Rowand: We had no offense from CF the 1st half, and no defense the second half. I look for ARow to supply both on a consistant basis all year. Lee: He was the best player on the field last year and can get better. Bench: Too early to tell. Let's see how it looks when we head north. Starting rotation: Ok, we took a hit here. I still think we'll be ok. Bullpen: See Bench Overall, I can see reason for optimism, as well as some people's pessimism. But then, that's why baseball the greatest game of all.
