    What Was The Red Sox Starting Lineup For Your First Home Opener in Person?

    1998 vs Seattle: The year and day I became a Red Sox fan. Mo Vaughn hit a walk off. We were visiting my wifes best friend for a long weekend. We had such a nice time visiting Boston. Sadly, she(our friend)was a flight attendant on the second plane on 9-11. We have held a strong bond with...

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    It’s early. First thoughts. 1. Fun to watch. 2. Chemistry feels very good. 3. Starters are over performing or they have taken a step forward. Time will tell. 4. Story at SS all season will be a massive improvement. I will take fun to watch and nipping at October Baseball all day long.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    You’re correct, agreed. Just can’t help but feel we are less of the pie. maybe I am clinging to the 2003/2004 feeling of, this mofo is all in. Cheers!

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    nope: John Henry prior to the shift in resources and attention spread I want the old, hungry, more interested in the Red Sox version of the fella to buy the team

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    I miss the old ownership group; before all of the diversity into alternate arenas. I want a Red Sox first owner. I don’t believe that is what we have now.

    How Much Does Ownership’s Level of Spending Affect Your Fandom ?

    Disappointed for sure with the offseason but there’s time left. I don’t endorse a salary dump but I do endorse growing the farm. I think it’s very naive to think Breslow will markedly improve the current pitching performance. You know what will? Better talent.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Thank you. The dates noted atleast put me in a feeing, that the rebuild pendulum has started coming back. It’s a challenge to get excited overly exited about this season but let’s feel good about the pipeline and a bit of luck would go a long ways the next few years. good point with the...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    We are looking at a 6-8 year rebuild currently. I am wondering; what’s the expectation for a rebuild timeframe with a team with the resources of the Red Sox? I don’t know. 8 years seems like a lot but maybe it’s reasonable. Is 4 years enough, is 6 years the sweet spot. Maybe it’s 12 years...

    Offseason rumors

    Cora has the overarching responsibility to nip egregious trends in the bud. (Base running mistakes) I can’t imagine the remedy would take generations to shore up. There’s no excuse.

    No Town Hall this year at Red Sox Winter Weekend

    It’s all a very complicated mess, the game/business has changed since the early years. Thru Theo, Dombrowski, then Bloom, some bad contracts along the way. I am torn, logically I get both sides. I have a hard time with ownership charging a premium in what is feeling like a perpetual rebuild...

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    A sense of relief, they took some action and that is relieving In itself. We are in a bit of a hole and these types of trades are a good backdoor option that the prior CB GM would have never pursued. Big step in getting some breathing room imo. Someone mentioned he was playing OF in the Winter...

    Lucas with the lid off

    Oh sure, the old sox pitching jedi’s can fix him mantra. Hard Pass. Too much of a reclamation exercise yet again; that is only fruitful in the offseason hopes and dreams.
