Hmm, I guess $109,000,000 doesn't buy you what it used to. Except for all of the other teams spending that much -- they're at least contending, since they don't have complete morons running the show..

Make that 12-0, Joe.

"Worst team you've ever seen," #9? I remember the 1989 Baltimore Orioles. No, this is just the worst bullpen I've ever seen. Kenny outsmarted himself, hoping that all the fireballers he brought in would work out in emulating those great Yankees bullpens from '98-'01. This bullpen makes the Todd Richie deal look sane, by comparison.

I gave up on them about 2 months ago. Worst team I've ever seen. It was nice to get my summer back and not be held captive to the TV. But the Bears can't start soon enough.

While it was an 11-2 score at one point, the starting pitching let up the first five runs.

Typical Sox fan has to throw in a slam against the Cubs while talking about their team. Speaking of the playground for the cocksuckers and its occupants, where's that whiner who posted in every single Sox piece about how Benjy never talked critically about the Sox and didn't talk at all about the Cubs? He's sure been quiet lately. As for the Sox I've fatefully listened to or watched every game I possibly could...until now. Sorry guys I can't watch this same scenario play out again and again.

The night before — while the Sox held on to win — the Indians jumped all over the bullpen to turn an 11-5 blowout into only a one-run victory. Actually, it was 11-2. Here's the box score.

Typical Sox fan has to throw in a slam against the Cubs while talking about their team. This team needs way more than a retooling. it needs an overhaul.

A firesale isn't needed. Years of dealing with the frustrations of a young team would drive away a very fickle fanbase. Only the Cubs can put absolute garbage on the field and still draw. Select, and smart retooling is all that needs to be done.

"Bullspen?" If it's not a typo, I don't get it... Anyhow, bullpens are very often hit or miss. Whenever a middle/long reliever performs well, he's promoted to either a closing or starting role. So, you're going to get years like 2005 where no one could hit Neal Cotts or Cliff Politte, and years like this one, where your bullpen looks like they're throwing batting practice. Now let's hurry up and trade away Contrerras before anyone realizes how bad he's been this year.

I'd say this year is pretty much a wash...just hold the fire sale already and start trying to build for the future.
