No doubt... some of the late 80's teams were god-awful. I remember the theme for one of those years being "Anything can happen" because they were so bad.

southsideirish71 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:40 PM) The good news... We'll have a hell of a Boras client to draft high next June. You mean that they will draft the 37th ranked player at the number 2 slot next year, and then try to convince the masses that this was their target the whole way. That some kid who throws 100 and has a 12/6 curve who is represented by the devil isnt the apple of their eye that Joe Schitt from Appalachian Computer Tech Institute who had bad K to walke numbers, but he throws 93 from the left side and has a lot of upside. The ESPN guys wll have a hell of a time finding video of him, were he struck out 2 moose and a squirrel in an inning and a half last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to the game, it was tied, I answered a phone call and came back to being down by 5! How bad can this team really be??? I don't ever remember a Sox team that was this pathetic.

fathom Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 07:44 PM) A rebuilding team that has no one to build anything with. Our rotation for the next 3 years should be built around Buehrle, Garland, Danks, Gio, and another pitcher....but instead, it's likely to be Vazquez, Contreras, Danks, Floyd, and Gio for the next two years. Nothing like a rebuilding project with a 10 million dollar 50 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 07:43 PM) Look at his numbers this year, and then think about how guys like Hunter and Jones will get between 12 and 15 mil per season. Also, I'm sure the Sox will think that he brings amazing intangibles to the table as well. I honestly believe he could get more money than that. BTW, would anyone be opposed to trying Willie Harris at 2nd base next year, as long as he has a platoon person who can hit lefties good? I liked Wee Willie. He gave it his all.

Harry Chappas Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 1 hit in the last 5 innings. AJ swings first or second pitch when we need runners. Sorry to those that think he is worth something but he is quickly becoming Uribe Jr. For he to think that he should not be platooned is stupid .238 average and .287 OBP...also his defense is non-existant as any ball in the dirt is a WP and runners steal at will.

daa84 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:40 PM) Good....this team deserves that dubious honor. Right now, I'm for anything that equates to the Sox going into fire sale mode. And the rumor about the Sox asking a lot for Buehrle likely means they know they can't re-sign him this offseason. agreed completely at this point...the losses dont really hurt that much anymore because i know each one will help us ship off some guys that hopefully will help for 08 and 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 My God I had been saying that MacDougal was the Politte of 2007 but now I think Thorton's taken that honor. Lights-out and dependable in 2006 (we called him Lefty Jenks) and now he's a gas can. BTW I did some checking about how long has it been since we've had a team this bad and the last year I could find where we were this awful was 1999. I don't remember it, but record-wise, that was the last horrific year we had. Unless I'm wrong--feel free to correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Don Cooper should actually teach them a new pitch so that the league doesn't catch on to them? His inability to get Cotts and Thornton to throw anything other than a straight fastball has been pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, also, I was a kid in the 70's so though I loved baseball, I didn't care enough to really notice stats all that much. I gave up on baseball around '83 due to my own coaches making me fall out of love for the game, then I just lost all notice of "team sports" also. I didn't watch again until around '95.
