Portland Sox Fan http://portlandsoxfan.com Documenting the Sox bandwagon ride since 2003.. Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:38:46 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4 Opening Day! And Happy 10th Anniversary, PSF.com! http://portlandsoxfan.com/2013/04/01/opening-day-and-happy-10th-anniversary-psf-com/ http://portlandsoxfan.com/2013/04/01/opening-day-and-happy-10th-anniversary-psf-com/#comments Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:38:46 +0000 PSF http://portlandsoxfan.com/?p=743 Well, here we are still limping along…both PSF.com and the Red Sox! Maybe I’ll try to be a little more active this year. Anyway, my best to all of you regulars, and enjoy today’s game!

]]> http://portlandsoxfan.com/2013/04/01/opening-day-and-happy-10th-anniversary-psf-com/feed/ 17 I can slowly start liking this team again.. http://portlandsoxfan.com/2012/10/04/i-can-slowly-start-liking-this-team-again/ http://portlandsoxfan.com/2012/10/04/i-can-slowly-start-liking-this-team-again/#comments Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:58:53 +0000 PSF http://portlandsoxfan.com/?p=741 Words can’t describe how much I disliked Valentine, from the second he was hired. Luckily for me, I jumped off the 2012 Sox bandwagon with both feet sometime in late 2011. And absolutely nothing happened to bring me back. I haven’t had such little interest in the Red Sox since I can’t remember when. I went to one game, and I honestly watched maybe 3 games in their entirety. And I’m generally the kind of guy who watches or listens to 120+ games a year.

So let’s rebuild this bitch. The Beckett/Gonzalez trade was a nice start (and I love that the Dodgers didn’t make the playoffs), firing Valentine definitely helps. But I’m not quite jumping back on yet.

In the meantime, go Nationals!

Sorry for the week off!

By the way, I have been so disinterested in the Sox this year it isn’t funny. Maybe that’ll change as summer rolls on..

For now, chat found in the menu above. May or may not keep this one instead of trying to fix the old one. Also finally got a Facebook connect feature working; you can log into PSF.com with Facebook (although it looks like it creates a new profile)

Between the way ownership treated Tito on the way out, and many of the players quite unlikable, and the insufferable Bobby V…ugh.

By the way, that dipshit just signed a weekly radio deal to appear with Michael Kay on ESPN 1050 in NY. I’m sure THAT spot will never generate any kind of controversy.

On a PSF.com related note, congratulations to longtime chatter Dewey who welcomed his first child into the world yesterday; an 8 lb 2 oz daughter!

Bear with me! Chat works, logins and comments should work…gotta work on restoring the design.

Trying to get that cleared up with the powers that be. But we’re still here; us and about 1,000 Russian spammers!

Anybody else not optimistic at all about the upcoming season?

Oh, and if I accidentally deleted your account when I just got rid of the 500 spam accounts, I humbly apologize.

However, if any of you actually meet up with LISSYAA, let me know if she’s hot or not.

Thanks!

I can live with that!

Personally, I don’t think so. Plenty of time left to turn this around. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t things that need to be fixed. Mainly their $100 million #5 starter. And by ‘fixed’ I mean ‘jettisoned’, but I doubt that will happen.

I have to believe this team will hit. I’m not ready to assume career worst years for the entire lineup 11 games into the season. I think last night definitely exposes a weakness, though…the lineup Francona puts out there against tough lefties is pretty terrible.

But honestly, the only thing I think will consistently stink this year is Matsuzaka.
