fathom Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Well, Keppinger does have more errors today than walks and homers combined on the entire season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Pathetic. Time to come to terms with the fact that this is a 70 win team, something I didn't really want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter now? This is the worst roster we've seen in decades. We all knew the rebuilding was coming. Just have to hope Peavy gets healthy so we can deal him.

Butter Parque Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 5, 2013 -> 08:51 PM) Mistake was a bad pitch on the double. Are you serious? He hadn't given up a hit through 4. So he made a bad pitch and gave up the double. Keppinger booted the inning ender. He's a bum who makes the sight of Gordon Beckham look like a Greek God.

Jake Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Last year's team was never above .500 until May 24 and they were perfectly healthy. I'm not ready for the tear down just yet Edited May 5, 2013 by Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 For those saying there's no benefit in being bad, do you really think attendance would be that different if the Sox lose 90 games compared to 100? Hell, Reinsdorf gets paid for 1.5 million in attendance no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one here is going to be. This kind of failure followed by a dismantling can put us into the same boat the Royals have spent the last 2 decades in, I'm not joking. You guys think it's this stellar idea, it might well leave people talking about contracting the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noonskadoodle Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Beck is missed just based on defense alone. Kepp needs to be benched until he is either healthy or he pulls his head out of his arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Not sure how folks can argue that this team is due for a mass overhaul, and that means cutting payroll, and trading what is worth something, to restock the minors. Play kids, and go from there. Don't even start talking about the stupid attendance crap, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
