sox-r-us Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I know i will be tarred and feathered for this karma right now, but when you have had your heart ripped out by Chicago teams for a long time, you do have to look at the other side of things. What happens, if despite getting these 2 players in, and even after getting some other reliever in the future, the Sox donot make the playoffs (even by one game) Of course, we will be not re-signing most of our FAs and we could very well be trading Frank, CLee etc Does Jerry and/or Kenny get fired then? Does Reinsdorf say this is it.....I am not spending any more dough on this team....let the rebuilding begin AGAIN....get back some prospects. As much as all the positiveness has me geeked for the last two weeks or so, I am extremely worried about the pitfalls of failure now.....of course, nothing ventured, nothing gained so the correct thing to do is go for it, which we are doing......but what happens if this backfires...... Keep it in perspective folks.....we are still in 3rd and need to consistently stay better than two teams,not one.....I do notbelieve we have a shot at the wild card with the way Bo-sox/Yanks and As/Ms are playing Again, sorry to put a damper in all the positivity here....

Chisoxfn Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Expect a lot of guys to go. Right now the team is in positioned and as long as they realize the games aren't played on paper, they should be in good shape. They can't get away from doing the little things and playing a "team" game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
