Wow, you found three threads I composed with negative overtones. Yes, that's definitely representative of everything I've ever posted at Soxtalk.

Greg Hibbard Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 The one where you mentioned a 4th thread? This is ridiculous. Probably over 40% of my posts are rooting the team on during the game threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 who the hell is panicking? our lineup stinks and we need to remedy it.

Here's the way I board....when the team is doing well, kicking ass, and taking names I don't really say a lot. Yesterday I did put up a thread that asked you to predict the final records of the big three starters, and I think my predictions were on the optimistic side of things. When the team stinks, I feel the need to vent more. So I do it here. That's what the place is here for, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 First half record 57-29 Second half record 15-10 You see, here's the deal. If the Sox were, oh say, 8-17 in the second half, I would be upset, too. But, they are above .500 AND still leading the div. by double digits AND not playing their best baseball AND coming into a rough stretch. The team needs a boost...whether it be a bench clearing brawl (not that I would condone that) or a walk off homer like Eckstein the other night. Something to rev this team up again. It's a looooooong season, ladies and gentlemen, and it's very rare that a team doesn't go through a rough hitting or pitching or both stretch. Even the 100+ game winners don't play the best baseball every single day. Let it go, enjoy the season and relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a pessimistic person like myself agrees with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
