Chill out dude, I just posted a snapshot of the WC standings. You lot are so easily triggered. If I were a troll, I could have a field day. -
Not to mention facts and history...
-
Channelling my inner Jim Mora here: 'Division? Don't talk to me about division! We can't even win a game!'
-
Critical series in the WC race!
-
Good thing I didn't use the Yankees as my comparison, they would have gone apoplectic.
-
Aren't you the clever one! Let's see... New member comes in, posts some stuff that contradicts the Happy Clappers, the Happy Clappers get angry when they can't refute what the new member is saying, instead of engaging in a civil discussion, they call the new member various names, then Board Establishment immediately assumes he/she is an old member under a new guise. Makes perfect sense.

Remember what happened to the cat... Who is this Connorp individual of whom you speak?
-
Why do you think I was a member before? Do I remind you of anyone? I come from a corn field in Iowa and it was you who found me. Are you worried that I will overtake you in posts?

Did you know that only 2 clubs in the history of baseball have won more WS than the Red Sox? Did you know that only 2 clubs have won more AL pennants than the Red Sox? Did you know that only 2 clubs have made more post season appearances in the AL than the Red Sox? Now how could a team that was a failure for over a century as you say do all that? To quote Charles Schulz: "You are a foul ball in the line drive of life."
-
You mean the John Henry who won 4 World Series, 4 pennants and 5 divisional titles? You mean the John Henry who won 2 Premier League titles, and a Champions League at Liverpool? Yeah, you're right, he doesn't give a flying about winning.
-
Which includes you two.

Pretty much what I said, and I didn't need to use the AI. I've been following MLB since the early 1980s and it wasn't much different back then. It's ok folks. For the first time since the Labatt era, we have an ownership that is willing to back the front office. But these things take time and there will be setbacks. Just look at our history from 1983-1993.
-
I beg to differ, it has been quite lively and the back and forth has been enjoyable. You just don't like the outcome.
-
Ah, such a disengenous take. See? I can use big words too (and don't need to use Ai). Like I said, Barger has yet to have a full major league season as an everyday player. When someone has done it for multiple seasons consistently, then we're talking about proven. I'll even give you examples to help you understand. Bo Bichette - I think he's a proven player. Vlad - the guy a lot of you are trashing - he's proven too. I hope Addie does well - I like him as a player, and we need him to perform. But I am reserving judgment because I've seen players have a great start to their career and then fizzle out.
-
I try not to think of The Dark Years (1994-2014). It is a wash of awful uniforms, a lot of waffle from Gord Ash and JP Ricciardi, and listening to platitudes from Mike Wilner.
-
Not my argument. One more time, because it's clearly not getting through. How many WS, pennants, and division titles have they won, THIS CENTURY? How many have we won? Still waiting for you to answer the question. Take your time. I know it's hard, I can wait.
-
They are having a rough year, but don't forget they were a base-running blunder away from playing us in the divisional round. So it's not like they've fallen off the face of the earth. I hate them as they are our divisional rival, but I'm not delusional.
-
Not moving goal posts. It's called using facts. I'm sure they'll look up at their 9 WS banners, 14 pennants, and 10 division titles, and totally agree with you. You have quite an obsession with genitalia and posteriors, btw.
-
Another angry person who melts down when anyone is remotely critical of the club and uses facts to back it up. One more time: How many WS, pennants and divisions have they won this century? And how many have we won? At least I know how to read...
-
As Billy Beane said in Moneyball - I can do this all day... How many WS, pennants, and divison titles have they won this century? How many have we won? Yeah, that's what I thought.
-
How many WS have we won compared to them in the last quarter century? That's what I thought.
-
The results speak for themselves. We were never in a division or WC race every season from 1994-2014. You can dance all you want, spew out the coulda, woulds, shouldas, but I prefere facts.
-
Like I said, look at what the Red Sox have done this century, I would trade their 21st century for ours any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
-
Heritage and history are different things. For me baseball heritage means you go into the season expecting to win because of recent past success, and you go out and deliver. It also means your players can handle the weight of expectation and not crumble under the prerssure. It also means players will sign for your team because they believe they have a good chance of winning. That's why all those guys chose the Dodgers over us, not just the money. We had baseball heritage in the Gillick years, Remember, FAs like Winfield, Morris, Molitor, Stewart, and others signed wth us because they believed we could win based on our success from 1983-1991. Right now, we are still building that heritage - we are heading in the right direction, but are not quite there yet, and the start of this season proves that.
-
9 WS, 14 pennants, 10 division titles. This century alone, they have won 4 WS (more than any other club), 4 pennants and 5 division titles. That is what I'd call a winning culture. Keep laughing.
