6/11 Phillies @ SOX 7:10PM ET

Maybe, but I’d take the overall history of the Red Sox over that of the Phillies, who might be the least successful franchise in MLB history.

I’ll take Boston’s 2022 and 2023 if I also get 2004 thru 2018…

474 winning % (Marlins at 460, Padres at 465, Rockies at 464)
11,279 losses (#1)
2 WS (Rockies, Padres have 0)

They have a good claim at worst franchise of all time, but the 2 World Series titles kind of turns it around. Over the past 50 years, they've been a fairly good franchise. Their distant past is what drags them down. That's history pal!

Marlins are pathetic, but have a few rings. Rockies and Padres have similar W/L and neither have won a World Series. Rockies have Rocktober. Padres beat the Cubbies for an episode of Punky Brewster. I believe the worst franchise of all time is the Padres. Their 5th highest career bWAR guy is Andy Ashby at 22.6 bWAR (he wouldn't be top 5 for the Rockies who have a 25 year disadvantage).

The Red Sox have a great history. No doubt. But that makes it more aggravating that they have allowed this to happen. Meanwhile, Phillies fans are having a blast. They are not concerned about what happened years ago.

Why do the records matter if they happened before you were born?

I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE IMPOSSBLE DREAM SEASON!

I didn’t bring up 2008 originally. Keep up with the conversation…

I answered both post with one post. Above your comprehension I know BIG NNN.

Cooper DFA to make room for Yoshida.

He was the worst Cooper to play for the Red Sox.

Cooper? I hardly knew her.

It will be interesting to see how much of tonight's crowd are Phillies fans. I expect there will be a lot of them in attendance.

That's a solid bet.

Of concern in this game is how Kutter Crawford will do versus a strong Phillies team. His recent outings have not been great ( 15 ER's in 16.1 innings) . Kutter was an early surprise and strength for the Sox but has lost his mojo recently. He needs to avoid the blow-up inning when he appears to lose command/control and composure

Let's hope for a great and effective effort over 6 innings.

Hoping is what we do here.

Until bad shit starts happening, of course.

[Old Red]

Jen is reporting it’s 90% Phillies fans out around Fenway. Love it!

Just trying to get a Moon-shot of positivity in before the players show us their relative abilities and inabilities, causing us to coach them as how to do better.
