fathom Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:44 AM) Don't remind me. This past trade deadline just truly disgusted me. This roster is loaded with corpses for years to come and there was a rare opportunity to truly impact that future. Yesterday and the Thome walkoff homer against Thornton last year were the two worst days for being a Sox fan (in my view) since 2006. I'm probably missing some other big moments though.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) You know will finish 81-81. The worst possible scenario coming into the season. Will hear Hawk, Ranger, Merkin, Ozzie and KW spit something like "You know, we got career-worst seasons from so many guys and still finished .500. That's a positive. Let's do this thing again next year!" Edited August 2, 2011 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Watch Kenny just give Buehrle away for basically free (if he declines the option that would vest) so he can try to get another WS ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 What a lousy game. Same ol s***. So the Sox again let the trade deadline slip away and here comes the final slide to bury the team. Team is as dead as it has looked in a long time. Yankees should have no problem sweeping this one. Were there more Yankee fans at the game than Sox fans tonight? Nice bunt by Lilly. I don't want to scroll back in the thread to that point in the game. Surely there was an epic meltdown. I merely laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hey Ozzie, even if you got the bunt down, Morel's line drive would not have scored any runs. Hell, Morel probably hits the ball far enough to score a run on a sac fly about 2 out of every 10 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've said it all before, but the team is unwatchable. I did it again tonight. Tuned in and first inning I saw was 'the bunt' inning. I turned it off. I can only imagine how sad it is to be at the stadium watching that crap, including Dunn/Rios, Lilly, all of em cept AJ, Paulie (hurt) and CQ. I guess Lexi lit into one finally tonight. It is horrible horrible baseball and I'm glad the crowd was s***ty. I feel for our excellent pitchers BTW. They are very good.
