When Is A Bargain Not A Bargain?

When it's the flailing 2022 Boston Red Sox:
These cost-conscious Red Sox are no bargain, and other thoughts

MILWAUKEE — Picked-up pieces while waiting for someone to call traveling or charging on Giannis …

The 2022 Red Sox. Wow. Just wow.

The bumbling Bostons went into Saturday with a record of 10-17, last place in the AL East, nine games behind the first-place Yankees. The Franchy Cordero All-Stars have lost five consecutive series. Some Red Sox fans have taken to calling the 99-day lockout “The Good Old Days.”

It’s never a good thing when the local baseball season is already over in the first week of May. The Sox are not out of contention yet, and having six American League teams in the playoffs gives them hope …

But seriously?

Are Sox ownership and the front office appropriately embarrassed by this product in the first four weeks of the season? Also, why is Chaim Bloom asking us to be “patient”?

Like it or not, the surprising success of the 2021 Red Sox (they actually came within two wins of the World Series) might have been the worst thing that could have happened to this year’s edition. October’s success deluded the cost-cutting ownership and free-cycling Bloom into thinking that they had figured things out.

For this fraud to tell us that after winning 4 titles we should yelling at ownership. Hey Dan I didn't hear you have a problem profiting off those pack of frauds you called the 04 squad or that quickie book you wrote on them or those paid appearances on ESPN every time they made the world series why don't you give back all the money you made off of them since you claim you are a man of the people you fraud.
