Baron Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) Your ridiculous what? You know about three weeks ago you said the season is over. Now your back at it again saying this team needs to be torn down. Im sorry you like to be miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) Heck no considering he'll want a multi-year deal probably in 2/32 or 3/45 range. I wouldn't go higher than 2/24, probably. I like Youk, but I don't know that he fits. I don't think he wants to be a 3Bman anymore and I'm not sure if he can hold up an entire season as one.

fathom Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 04:06 AM) Embarrassing. One of the worst fan bases in the sport. I feel like the fans turned on this team after the sweep in Detroit, and really never returned. I know it coincides with school starting as well.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 11:06 PM) That's cutting about 45 million dollars worth of players off your team Those players probably aren't coming back regardless, that's my point.

I know it coincides with school starting as well. makes sense to me. but I'm sick of talking about the fans, the fans, the fans... just win games, everything else takes care of itself.

They have to blow it up because you'd have to pay our fans to watch this crap next season rather than make them pay 40 bucks for parking, etc. This is really really bad baseball. Nobody with a brain will go watch this. They'll do anything to not have to go to the Cell to watch baseball in which starting pitchers not named Sale can't pitch 5 innings.

They're economy is garbage and their population is 1/9th the size of ours. BTW going into tonight they had the same record as ours. I didn't realize there's no school tomorrow in Detroit.

That is a complete overreaction to the highest order. People in management dont operate like that. Edited September 27, 2012 by Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on more excuses. You can even ask Baron about this, but one of the biggest reasons I wanted the Sox to stay in contention all year was the hope attendance would be really strong down the stretch and lead to a higher payroll next year. It's disappointing, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
