My comment about your visions of grandeur regarding the Sox isn't because of something you said in one post.
Fair enough. SO I am sure you are going to get right to it.
Your organization has a meh farm system and operates as a small market team in the third largest city in the US (large market).
Nope, you tangent off on things in efforts to avoid the topic. Sigh. That said, I agree with you except that our farm is probably worse than meh. But wait, that's not objective...oh man...
I hate to break it to you, but that isn't a recipe for success.
When our guys are ready for the bigs they get brought up. The focus is on the major league team not the minors. Do I want a better farm? I do. Am I glad we are putting forth maximum effort with minimal resources? Yes.
Let me state it this way. The Cubs were on the verge of being a playoff team this year!
No they were not.
As much as you bag on the cubs for only making the playoffs,
Show a single post where I "bag on the cubs for only making the playoffs" I won't wait for something that does not exist.
your team wasn't even going to make the playoffs. That 4 games under was simply a peak in the season. Again you cannot comprehend that your team was a pretender this year.
I never had them as a playoff team. Never said they should make moves when they were four out to do so and go for it. I said the opposite as a biased Sox lover..oh wait, no I am showing objectivity....sigh...the team is a lot better than most gave them credit for and would no doubt be right there for a playoff spot if not for the large rash of injuries they had. Not saying they'd get to the playoffs or win if they got there, but they'd be right there as this season hashed out to be. That's objective....being less I would say, oh if only we had Micah Johnson as our leadoff 2b guy, he'd be worth 10 more games in the standings. If only Rienzo would have nailed down the 5th spot...That's just not realistic...oh no there's that objectivity thing again....
SHOW THE BIAS. "I'll hang up and listen for my answer that will never come...."
