fathom Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 QUOTE (YASNY @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) To be honest, I didn't even think beyond the organization because of JR's loyalty factor. I agree that Cora wouldn't be a philosophy change, but he's not nearly as gregarious as Ozzie, which at this point might be a plus. But, for the philosophy reason, I looked for someone else. Hence, Bell. The question is, if the Sox tank for the next few months, does JR get fed up and want a fresh start and want some new blood in?

greg775 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Not a bad gut feeling, Yasny. I think this homestand was a disaster. Tampa figures to win 3-of-4 minimum which would guarantee us a horrid start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 QUOTE (since56 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) Putz and Jenks don't look so bad now. We went hard after Putz. He chased the money and a place that was closer to home. We were never going to get him. i don't think this is a legitimate point to harp on. And Jenks.... Jenks just sucks.

He wore out his welcome here. People on this board would have gone ape s*** on K. Williams for bringing back Jenks the minute he blew a save here. I'm not worried about the bullpen situation - yet. Hopefully they'll get it figured out. I just don't know if it'll be Thornton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his injury history, I don't think there were many in favor of giving him a multi-year deal IIRC. It feels like revisionist history for both Putz and Jenks.

He_Gawn Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Cheaper to buy tix on stubhub or just wait and scalp at the game? Looking to go April 30th and don't want to sit in the upper deck. Bleachers will probably be fine as Ill likely be very drunk. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheapest thing is if you can find a discount code for TicketBastard. The next cheapest is to wait until the last day on Stubhub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
