Kraft/Sox - New England Patriots Forums

I'm thinking to myself that at some level, Bob Kraft is gleefully enjoying the Sox slow death.

Personally, so am I.

Watching a model franchise like the Pats operate, the current Sox situation annoys me for the management cluster-**** it is.

Let the season begin.

Well said, I agree 100%. I wish we could clone BB and let him manger the sox!

The Sox are simply mortal. Once they won a single title, their management team got inflated heads and self-destructed. It only underscores how humble and grounded BB is in comparison after winning 3.

Totally correct.

With some folks it seems success can alternatively create over-inflated ego and complacency and eventually failure.

The worst record in all of MLB for the month of August.

It's been over for a week or so, and the large lady has cysts on her vocal chords from the strain.

Boston's baseball team has reverted back to being the Desperate Housewives. That's all anyone needs to know.

I'm a Yanks fan, but the Red Sox are very interesting every year. I really never understood the whole Theo Epstein thing, very bizarre, and this coming from a Yankees fan who thought he's seen everything. Also, I look at Manny like he's the Anti-Brady, though I feel Big Papi should be looked at like a god. Great team player who truly cares about the team.

Sneaky way to get RedSox on the FOOTBALL FORUM. One word about Kraft and then let it rip.

There is a Red Sox forum and this should probably be moved there.

the sox season has been circling the drain for a week now----and now with the news that papi is headed home with a heart condition--i would say it's just about over! Let's just think about it, last night we had 4 starters playing out of 10 -- and 2 of them were playing positions they don't normally play.....this has truly been an ugly season and someone should punch the FO in the mouth for it

So let's start football season!
