It’s dangerous sufficient that the Purple Sox are struggling out of the gate. However we’re additionally continuously listening to complaints from fellow followers that the 2026 Purple Sox aren’t any enjoyable to observe. It’s exhausting accountable them. They solely managed to attain 4 runs in three video games over the weekend! They’re practically being out-homered by Yordan Alvarez alone! They had been simply dropped at heel by the Yankees’ worst pitcher!
So, sure, the 2026 Purple Sox aren’t any enjoyable to date. No argument from me. However what wouldn’t it take for them to change into the least pleasurable group of your lifetime?
For me, I’m unsure I’ll ever hate a group greater than the 2001 Purple Sox. That group, not like this one, began nice, sitting at 17-9 on Could 1, after an offseason wherein we spent dreaming about lastly breaking the curse. However this was the yr that we started to see cracks in Nomar’s armor (he didn’t even play his first recreation till the tip of July after the aggravated his wrist in February). This was the yr that the group was briefly led by the worst supervisor of my lifetime (sure, even worse than Bobby Valentine): Joe Kerrigan, who took over for a drained Jimy Williams and was clearly in manner over his head. This was the yr they misplaced 13 of 14 video games on the finish of August and begin of September.
Use this area to speak about groups you’ve hated and no matter else you need and, as all the time, be good to at least one one other.
