7/24 Red Sox @ Toronto

[Spudboy]

7-0 nothing and I think these two last runs scored represent the final nail in the coffin for the 2014 Red Sox season.

[Spudboy]

This one looks to be over. There is only so much torture to which I will subject myself. I'll check back later and make the Hot Stove thread.

 

I call bull feces!!!!!

 

We all know that you will continue to subject yourself to torture like this until they plant you 6 feet under!!!

 

You are a true Red Sox fan. This is your duty!

Just to have a hope they pretty much have to win out until the deadline. If they go just 500 or worse , forget it.

2015 would be epic disaster if Lester isn't pitching for the Red Sox. It would be organizational collapse.

 

I want Lester back too. But I don't see the Sox season being an "organizational disaster" next year if he is not resigned.

 

2015 may well be a disaster ( much like this year ). The loss of one player who sees action only 30 games in a season is not that significant. The Sox will plug someone else in his place and baseball will continue.

 

If the Sox were close to a playoff spot near the end of the season and Lester went down with an injury, that would be close to a disaster.

 

On a team with many young players ( including young pitchers ) that will loose about 70-90 games, Lester leaving will be just one of many problems.

 

I'm sure the Sox brass know this too.

Why did they have to get swept by the cubs?

[gojohn99]

My optimism is down to where is was after that Cubs series. I don't get it, they looked good last week and game one of this series.

[BigPapi]

Brock has looked pretty bad today.

[Spudboy]

A NO-NO THROUGH 6!!!

 

Holt has k'ed 3 times.

[Station 13]

Brock has looked pretty bad today.

 

Chasing the same bad pitches.

[reYoukilis]

Its just like the other win streak, we hit a bump in the road and all is lost.

[gojohn99]

Bump in the road? More like a wall, they can't even beat the teams they need to beat in their own division!

[gojohn99]

it's just frustrating....

[gojohn99]

Luchino said something interesting on WEEI this morning - even the 2012 wasn't this bad at the trade deadline. In 2012 they were 53-51 at the end of July. After today they will be 47-55. Perhaps he is hinting that the Sox will be sellers?

[BigPapi]

As a whole out starting pitching has been pretty average this year. Nesn likes to think it has been incredible and puts all the blame on the offense.

Lol! Sometimes watching such crap on the field reminds me that it is time to take a bathroom break.

Hey Pete. I could use a win to lift my spirits today. Yesterday was my mother in-laws funeral. She had been part of our household for the last 25 years.

 

Sorry to hear such bad news Ted. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sadness. I do like, however, that you had such wonderful feelings about your mother-in-law. You hear so many stories in the opposite way. I remember when I was going with Linda and my future MIL looked at me with suspicion that to me seemed to border on anger. She probably thought of me as a playboy of sorts. What a joke.

 

As soon, and I mean as soon, as we became engaged you never saw a woman change towards a person as she changed towards me. I must stay in the spare bedroom over the weekend so I don't have to drive down.....what would you like for dinner Fred?.....there's three half-gallons of your favorite Dreyer's Chocolate Chip ice cream in the freezer son. What a difference. From then on I referred to her and her husband as mom and dad. Stand tall my friend.

Another shutout coming? Does this team lead the league in being shutout this season?

Al maybe. But not the mlb. Padres definitely do.

[BigPapi]

f***, not papi.

[seabeachfred]

f***, not papi.

 

Let's not all jump on Rubby's head over his terribly s***** performance today. Many of us know he has great potential and solid stuff but he was considered an inconsistent kid when he played with the Dodgers and we may have him that way for us now that he is pitching for the Red Sox. He may wow us one time out and make us sick another....just like he did today. This is not an ace and will never be an ace. He is a good No. 3 or 4 and that is what we have to expect of him. If he can pitch a few games above 500 for us we ought to consider our good fortune. An ace he is not, and that brings up what we will need when Lester is either traded or walks. Do we have a pitcher in our farm system that projects as an ace? We will certainly need one if we are ever to win a title of any kind again.....and let me tell you Buchholz, Doubrant and Workman are certainly not in that category.

Probably Owens.

This team stinks.

Lester vs Price tomorrow. I bet all the scouts in the majors will be watching that game, with GMs everywhere drooling at their playoff hopes.

f***in' Rays. We just had to play the Rays after our latest meltdown. Ill be interested in how we react.

[gojohn99]

I fully expect to at least lose 2 out of 3. Optimism very low
