Default Hard to Root for the Sox

Is anyone else finding it difficult to root for the Sox this the year? This ownership group trashed one of the most popular managers on his way out just so they could save face. They've done this with almost every single player on his way out as well and it's hard to support a team that systematically does this.

Then you have the current batch of players who just don't seem to care. Even the "chicken and beer" thing aside, which was way overblown, it's just one of the more unlikeable teams I've seen. Only a few guys like Pedroia seem to even care out there. At least Melancon sounded devastated after he blew the game, it's nice seeing someone on this team actually care.

Anyone else just unaffected by this team? I've been a die hard and could easily root through losing seasons. But this team is just a waste of time.

This team is a dumpster fire and the dramatics although way overblown is getting tiresome. It's emotionally draining to watch this team in any other year. It's almost impossible to even attempt to get on board after this off season.

I mean really, how can you get behind a organization that dumped on the only manager to win this team two titles after not winning one for 86 years? The information that got out about Francona is unforgivable, Theo's parting could of been handled better,by both sides. The whole Ellsbury and Crawford situations. It's a mother $%^&%$ soap opera and I'm taking a break for awhile.

This is coming from a fan who was a big Henry/Lucchino supporter not too long ago. Just a really disappointing off season from those two. I'll still watch the highlights and cheer my favorites, but I'm not wearing my heart on my sleeve for this team for awhile.

When the Red Sox go on a winning streak, just you watch all the disenchanted run back screaming "I love you Red Soxxxxxxxxxx'.

The team, as currently constructed doesn't appear to have an identity. As the season progresses, I'm sure we'll find out more about the Sox.

Much like the Patriots.


this is my team.

We may fall out, there maybe people in the organisation that I wouldn't spit on if they were on fire (Entire FO, including LL, John Lackey)

but they are my team.
If they end up 1-161. This is my team.

The Voice of The Fan: FVP: Francona fiasco illustrates how clueless Red Sox organization is

You guys are not alone. They are pain, and the problem, IMO, is the front office. Love guys like Pedroia. Beckett's a little aloof for my tastes, but it is what it is.

they are my team to but we arent on speaking terms. and its not about wins and losses for me. the current ownership and players have taken a collective dump on the redsox brand franchise whatever you want to call it. im angry and its not because they are 1 and 5.
