Even if Soria continued to falter, his stability alone would have made the acquisition worthwhile. Now that he has turned things around, I’m positive that a Soria trade will bring back someone more useful to us than Peter would have been. Plus, like you said, Soria wasn’t even the only part of the deal. Acquiring two healthy major league relievers for one fringe prospect who had no realistic path to the majors is a no-brainer.

So let me just say, its good they didn't look like clowns for the third straight game. As I've said in the past when you've lived through the **** since 2007 I can understand why fans don't get excited over a single solitary win (especially when you are 25 games under in a rebuilding year) but God bless you for keeping the faith. Hopefully in a few years all of us can enjoy things again on a regular basis. |

These guys have not often shown any progress...in fact you can make the case that the guys who are expected to be part of the rebuild and key pieces are REGRESSING...not improving. That's very troubling. Yea they are going to lose...a ****load...but at least play the game properly, at least show some gradual improvement even if it is just in an area or two over time. Lopez used the word "clowns" not me. That choice of wording to me said a lot. You can lose and you can lose embarrassingly. That's the point in my opinion, at least you can be respectable, you can take pride in your job. You don't need to be a 10 year veteran to do that. Like I said just my opinion. |

When people say that rebuilding takes time and patience, they are not referring only to the fact that overall progress is slow and incremental. They also are referring to the fact that overall progress will sometimes switch direction.. I don’t think people were fully prepared for that inevitability, which explains a lot of the pessimism.

Knock on wood: Soria could be building enough equity to get us a borderline top 150 prospect here soon.
Will be interesting. Shields on the otherhand should just be DFAd at this point. Ain't getting a live body for him. |

That is a good point but also don't forget that at least part of the pessimism is because of the track record of the Sox front office since 2007. Put the two together and you have a lot of concerned fans and I can't blame them.

Did this game end exceptionally late compared to the other postgame threads you usually contribute to when they lose?
