LVSoxFan Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Just the thought of Soxfest seems like one helluva grim proposition right now. What should have been a celebration of 2005 and look forward to '06 now looks like it's going to be an autopsy. I don't think I have the stomach for it. My, how things turn. I remember being there last year and seeing Dye for the first time and how excited Ozzie was about the "new" approach and how, during the Q&A (unlike the year before) KW didn't get b****ed out the whole time. It was exciting, because we were taking a big gamble with the whole "smallball" thing. Remember? Seems years ago, doesn't it. I personally was all for it, because whatever it was before wasn't working. And if you're constantly losing to the Twins every year and you don't have a $200MM payroll like the Yankees, yeah: you probably want to build a team more like the... Twins. Which is what we did. It's funny, because for years now we think: what are the Twins doing that we're not? But this year, all I can think about is Cleveland. Not because they caught us, but because they did what you want a team to do: they absolutely killed after the ASB. Like somebody says: you can lose a season in the first half, but you can't win one. We are going to be the poster boys for that truism. What I wouldn't give for a so-so 1st half and then playing .750 ball into the playoffs. Wow.

southsideirish71 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 The comedic value alone of the Q&A session is worth my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
