Context is everything though. It's not the distant, Losing It style, past. Three years ago the Red Sox finished last too. The next year they won it all.

RushCanuck Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 My expectations for and emotional investment in the Jays are lower this year... middle of the division finish is my prediction. Pitching won't be strong enough. Go ahead and prove me wrong! Jays are mediocre as I predicted. 45 and 46. I haven't watched a baseball game yet this year.... Not feeling itOK, the David Price acquisition has my interest. It's an attempt to address the pitching weakness I mentioned at on Feb 15.Price will be making his Jays debut tomorrow... It will be a holiday here in Ontario, so I will be watching (my first baseball game of the year). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers are positioned to make a playoff bid if they press. The Red Sox fire sale is underway. Victorino is gone - management shakeup with Lucchino's at the end of the season. Papi's contract renewed but I don't think that he has many seasons left in the tank. Red Sox don't quite know where to go from here, it seems. No one is really talking about them this year (other than how bad they are). It's all about the stupid PSI in leather covered, rubber bladders. :sigh: I think they have problems with Farrell and I'm totally schadenfreude about it. :) edit: typing Edited August 10, 2015 by CygnusGal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we're not Cubs fans for goodness sakes. ;) Hey Rick! :hi: Good to be around ... I'm always on the fringe (at least) ... some would say on the edge ... :crazy: I think the RedSox are in for a longer string than two straight bad seasons. There's talk this morning of trading Panda. I think that would be the proverbial fork. For all their faults, Theo and Duquette (I think a lot of Luchinno's success was from the seeds sown by Duquette - though Luchinno made some great moves on his own) were the best thing that happened to the Red Sox in generations. Now, Theo is in Chicago. It will take some time, but I'm optimistic for them - go Cubs! Too bad Francona departed Boston so badly (pretty shabby treatment by Boston management, fans, and media), the Sox could use a strong manager now. And, hind sight leads me to believe we dodged a bullet with the way things unfolded with Farrell. I sure didn't feel that way when it happened. I'm sorry John Gibbons. Time and tempering has shown you to be a far more capable manager than I initially believed. You have the staff, now win the division! Go Blue Jays! :cheerleader: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
