The Red Sox on pace to win 87 games. Talk about ridiculous expectations.

being totally honest... it actually really annoys me that joe'd just give up on the team this year.
i've been fans of shitty teams forever (minus these golden yankee years) and have no problem continuing to flaunt my pitiful obsession. jets? pirates? whatever, i'm there. hell, even when these current yankees bomb in unthinkable series situations, i wade through it.
yer sposda!
if there's one thing in sports that i absolutely can't stand, its fair weather fans. i hate the fans that buy a yankee hat when the yanks are 3 games up, and then a sox fan when they win 4 straight.
joe knows about this, both from when i've ranted about it and from personal experience -- he's a friggin redsox fan. thats a long stretch of tough losses he's suffered through. often, here!
whats worse ... he and i just talked about the very topic like 10 pages back in this thread.
now, his team goes on a losing stretch, notably marked by a 5 game loss to the yanks at home, and he's done. in fucking august. with 50+ games of baseball left. fuck, even now, the sox are "only" 8-9 games out of first, and 6 games out of the wildcard. with still 25+ to go.
so, what, in the not-too-unlikely instance that the red sox get hot again, and surpass the twins for first in the wildcard, joe comes back? gives it another try?
i hate that. i thought he did too.
don't be like that, mama!!

The Rangers most likely won't win 85 games this year, and it's actually been a pretty decent season for them!
To be honest, I kind of prefer the relative anonymity of my team. I don't have to listen to pithy comments made by national columnists or television analysts, most of whom have no idea what they're talking about. Nobody pays much attention to the Rangers, and as a result I'm allowed to go about enjoying them privately, and without interruption.

I agree totally. I miss the banter we had with our once-upon-a-time-red-sox-fan. Honestly, not only do I miss the bullshit ragging we did with him, but I'm completely surprised that he just laid down and quit. So, your team has hit a rough patch. So what? I've been teasing Southie about it and I get a resounding "Fuck off!" and a horrid reminder that the Yanks dropped their pants and bent over in 2004. Lord knows, I cringe every time I'm reminded of Game 7, but I still cheered for my Bronx boys - then and now. No matter what, no one can tell me they are not the best gobdamned team in the world. And Southie still loves her team despite what's happened. Isn't what what real fans do?
Joe, come back to us. Love your crap Red Sox like a fan should. Bitch about the Sox, but still love 'em. Don't wait for spring to suddenly be a "real" fan again.

I'll give you all the short version (I started typing a response at 1am saturday morning, but beer and sleepiness equaled a fucking long-winded post that went nowhere). I still love the team. I support them just as much as I always have (Rob, you may have supported bad Yankee teams, but you never supported a team as bad as the Butch Hobson-era Red Sox). What I don't support is ownership's seeming desire to do nothing at the trade deadline (there's no way I believe that NO deal could've been made without Lester, Hansen, or Delcarmen...too many other deals were made without other teams giving up major prospects). I don't support inexplicable trades AFTER the deadline (HINSKE??? WE NEED PITCHING!!!). I don't support ownership's attitude of "we give up, we'll re-tool for next year". I don't support ownership seemingly wave the white flag - I feel betrayed as a fan. And I don't support pitchers blaming the hitting and hitters blaming the pitching for team woes instead of shouldering their responsibility and working that much harder towards winning. Dammit, I tells ya: This wouldn't be happening if Millar (MILLAH!!!!!!!!!!) was still around...even if he would be hitting .220 with next to no power... BUT(!!!), that said, that's not even the full reason why I stopped watching the games or following the team. Simply put, watching the team fall apart (you can't do anything about the injuries, but the finger-pointing and the general negativity sucked to watch and read) and generally lose direction became too much to bear. I can handle the losing. It's the apathy that seems to be coming from the team and ownership that I can't stomach. 8-21 for August doesn't hurt nearly as much if the team looks like it's giving 100% every game. But they haven't been, and it's been obvious. So why waste two months of my time - time that could be spent reading, watching movies, spending time with friends, family, and loved ones, etc - watching a team sleepwalk through the rest of the season? If the team doesn't care enough to play hard, why should I watch? Why should I vehemently defend the team on these boards when they give me NOTHING that I can use to defend them? PJP: The Red Sox can't buy a win this month!!!  Me: Yeah? Well...um...uh...you like butt sex! Harley: The Yankees are on a tear while the Red Sox are getting swept by last place teams!!! Me: Errrrrrrr...hmmmmmmmmmm...well fuck you MO! Kinda weak, methinks. Even reminding you all of 2004 seems a bit lame. Add to the fact that I agree with Bill Simmon's position that there should be a 5-year grace period before fans can bitch about their after the team wins a championship, and you understand why I'd rather say nothing that whine. So, rather than be Chris Oakley and make lame arguments and psychotic mis-predictions, I choose to accept my losses with a level of grace, concede that ownership gave up, and wait for the offseason... (As an aside, how many times have I said they needed to cut Rudy Seanez? And they waited till AUGUST to do it??? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!)

thats cool. there are a multitude of yankee decisions i hate and have hated. getting rid of my favorite players, and/or team icons, dumping mountains of cash on unworthy names, amongst them.
(i'd also like to throw in steinbrenner going over his team spending limit... then deciding to make it back by dropping his employees dental plans)
so, to a point, i can understand your side, now that i see what it is.
but, still, ....
like, i guess i can understand your points n'all. since losing good chunks of the team after october '04, i'd be pretty pissed too as a sox fan.
but i always think of the redeeming qualities to keep me around. even if i'm pissed at management, coaching, and pitching, and two or three bitchy players, there's always still one or two guys that you know are playing their hearts out that you wanna cheer for.
or to continue having fun in this thread, which you've often spent not talking about baseball a lotta the time. or you could take the lumps and tell us why you hate the team or this player or whatever. give us a soxian view. like how much i dislike arod or coudln't stand knoblauch (whatta fucking scumbag!)
or, fuck, just for the sake of watching the game with my pals or my dad. even if we're bitching out every onscreen move we see.
i guess i don't think i could pass up on all that.
i like the bad parts as much as the good.

I'm not much of a football fan, but I know enough about the Jets, particularly their draft history, to have much respect for you for continue to support them.

My issue isn't with ownership breaking up the '04 team. I knew that would happen. I was more than willing to accept the decisions they made and the reasons they made them, even if I didn't agree. As good as D-Lowe was in the postseason, he was atrocious in the regular season. So I didn't gripe about them letting him go. As much as I hated losing Pedro and using that money to pick up Clement and Wells, I was willing to buy into the whole "Pedro's shoulder won't last four years" argument. Didn't like it, but I bought it. The Renteria-over-Cabrera deal made no sense to me. Didn't Renteria play for the losing team in the World series? Didn't we trade a beloved player for Cabrera and didn't Cabrera's defense and occasional pop at the plate help us win the World Series in '04? But, again, I bought into ownership's philosophy.
I'm not upset at '05. The Red Sox did the best they could. They gave their all. They came up short. It happens. The important thing, for me, is that they played hard all season and took responsibility when they succeeded AND failed. Graffanino showed a lotta class taking responsibility for his costly error.
My issue is the air of surrender that has been the norm since the trade deadline. In a region where our hockey team's owner openly doesn't care whether the team wins games, but our football team's ownership works hard and smart to put a winning team on the field, the Red Sox's air of futility and apathy is unacceptable. If I wanted to follow a Red Sox team whose ownership never gave a shit about the team or its fans, I'd hunt down tapes of the Yankey/Harrington-run teams.

Which is one of the reasons I keep sneaking peeks. I caught the 1-0 win against the White Sox. I've seen bits and pieces all month. I couldn't escape the Toronto series, what with being in Toronto that weekend and all. I'll say it again: I love this team - I'm psyched to hear that 'Tek and Trot and Big Papi are back and Wily Mo is in the line-up. I just won't actively seek the games out or give ownership my time or dollars.

or to continue having fun in this thread, which you've often spent not talking about baseball a lotta the time. or you could take the lumps and tell us why you hate the team or this player or whatever. give us a soxian view. like how much i dislike arod or coudln't stand knoblauch (whatta fucking scumbag!)
And here lies another rub. I love this thread. I love clashing swords with you and PJP and Harley. I love talking about the game and the rivalry. Love it. But last month, I wasn't enjoying it because every time I thought about the team I'd get a little angrier at management. Which would lead to typing posts that weren't funny but were needlessly scathing and then deleting them. If I'm gonna participate in this thread, it damn well better be in the spirit that this thread is meant. Being a whiny bitch, or - worse - not being able to carry my load, isn't fair to you three. You need a rival who can hold his own and still be as scathing as he's been. I've just been angry.

or, fuck, just for the sake of watching the game with my pals or my dad. even if we're bitching out every onscreen move we see.
i guess i don't think i could pass up on all that.
i like the bad parts as much as the good.
I absolutely see your point. I'll tell you a funny li'l story about this weekend. I read this thread on Friday night. On Saturday I was in a golf tournament with my Dad. Now my Dad is a Yankees fan, has been ever since he moved to NJ in '95 to work in Manhattan. Now that he's back in NE, that hasn't changed. We swap Red Sox/Yankees gifts at XMas.He has a Yankees head cover for his driver. And for my birthday I got a Sparky Lyle autographed baseball...in a Yankees gift bag (yes, I know he played for both teams...hee hee!). After the tourney, we stuck around for the dinner and raffle. My Dad won his choice of golf packages, so he chose the Red Sox head cover and Red Sox style Calloway golf balls. He kept the golf balls - he plays with Calloways and likes the idea of "smacking the Red Sox around a golf course". Then, purposely in front of me, he traded the head cover for a King Cobra ballcap. Bastid.
My point is that I agree with what you're saying. I never had the intention to end my fandom entirely. I'd miss my feud with my Dad. I'd miss the rivalry in this thread. And I'd miss what makes this li'l guy ---->  so special.
(Lookit him! Picking up where things were left off. You see that, Harley? You see his li'l mouth?)
In the end, you're right. So, as many times as I'll be gritting my teeth as I post in this thread (damn ownership), I'll still be posting. But I reserve the right to curse out whatever ineptness I see in my team. I'll be doing it with love.

And this is different from your other posts, how...?

...that, I hate to admit, actually made sense ...
I actually see your point of view, which prolly means I can't torment you as not being a fan anymore.
Fuck.

Ortiz says he should still be considered for MVP
David Ortiz, the American League leader in home runs and RBI, says Boston's fall from the American League playoff race should not disqualify him from the race for the AL's Most Valuable Player award.
But Ortiz told reporters after the Red Sox's 9-3 win over the Royals on Sunday that he thinks that's what's going to happen.
"I'll tell you one thing," Ortiz said. "If I get 50 home runs and 10 more RBI [which would give him 137], that's going to be a round number that no one else in the American League will have."
"But they'll vote for a position player, use that as an excuse. They're talking about [Derek] Jeter a lot, right? He's done a great job, he's having a great season, but Jeter is not a 40-homer hitter or an RBI guy. It doesn't matter how much you've done for your ball club, the bottom line is, the guy who hits 40 home runs and knocks in 100, that's the guy you know helped your team win games.
"Don't get me wrong -- he's a great player, having a great season, but he's got a lot of guys in that lineup," Ortiz continued. "Top to bottom, you've got a guy who can hurt you. Come hit in this lineup, see how good you can be."
Ortiz said if he had a vote, he might cast it for Jermaine Dye or Paul Konerko of the Chicago White Sox, or Justin Morneau of the Minnesota Twins.
"All depends on who makes the playoffs," he said. "Dye is having an unbelievable season, an incredible year. Konerko, too.
"Morneau, he's having a great season, but in Minnesota, there's no publicity. I bet you nobody knows who he is."
Ortiz also noted that Alex Rodriguez won the MVP in 2003, despite the fact his Texas Rangers finished last in the AL West. That season, A-Rod hit .298 with 47 home runs and 118 RBI.
"I'm right there," he said, "but I'm not going to win it. They give it to [Rodriguez] one year, even though his team was in last place, so now they can't play that BS anymore, just because your team didn't make it. They gave it to Alex that year because of his numbers. But they always have a reason to vote for whatever, so that's why I don't worry about it."

Well somebody is a selfish bitter little Bitch!
I guess the fact that Jeter has a 60 point higher batting average doesn't count for anything.
I never cared for Ortiz as a person...he's a scumbag 100% and now his true colors are coming out. FAT FUCKING BABY!!!!

wow.
that was a lot of dumb commentary.
sure, defense, batting average, base stealing, on base percentage, and leadership, plus limiting yourself to under 8 meals a day... what good are they?
he goes out of his way to backhandedly insult his own team ... then squashes his whole argument by bringing up arod's win in '03.
why can't anyone learn to just quit talking?

oh, eat me! I was only fixing the way it looked, not what I said! And apparently what I said got me banned from the Yankee thread at work so I couldn't even access it afterwards!
