Rays will throw at Daubach every time up -- they're still pissed about the brawl from 20 years ago.

[TylerD]

Let’s go soX!

[TylerD]

Poop 1-0 poop heads.

[TylerD]

2-0 them

 

Waiting for the raptors to take down the Celtics. Muabahahah. I’m Canadian back off ok.

It's weird, but I almost want the Celtics to lose. It's hard to keep track of so many sports at once.

Lmao, isn’t it ridiculous. I honestly don’t care, I don’t follow basketball that close. Baseball, NFL and then a tad bit of the oilers in hockey

I don't really either, but since I'm moving to Boston, I thought I might as well start drinking the Kool-Aid

[d-money]

Big game with the Celtics. Will they disappoint once again? Someone should get fired if they go out to Toronto.

Are you high? Losing to the defending champs in 7 hard fought, physical games without one of your best players would be nothing to be ashamed of

[Thunder]

Who are you a fan of?

 

Don't really watch the NBA enough to have a favorite team, but I root for Boston, Houston and OKC

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Matt Hall is Bloom's bulk guy. He comes in after the opener to give up the bulk of the opponents' runs.

Really? In my opinion the Celtics have been the better team. 3-2 you have to finish that. You won’t get a better chance to reach the finals this season.

[Larry Cook]

This game got out hand and ugly!

Who’s your NFL team Thunder? Patriots? Excited to see what. Newton can do

Patriots and Jets, with a little dose of Giants. I live in an area where you can get all 3 on TV most weeks, so my dad and I always watched all 3 every week. Football is both of our favorite sports.

 

I also like a lot of different players, but many people don't understand that you can love a player without being a fan of that team.

Ya that’s totally fair!!

 

I like the colts and Seahawks. Will always be colts first but have loved seattle since 2005

[Kimmi]

Ugly game. Sad game.

 

One bright spot this season (there have been a couple of others) is Verdugo. He has impressed more than I was expecting him to.

I absolutely understand loving a player without being a fan of the team. I think most people have player favorites on other teams. What I don't understand is rooting for said player or players to win when playing against your favorite team.

[Kimmi]

Looking forward to seeing Eovaldi back on the mound tonight.

I agree. When we play the Astros, I'm hoping Springer goes 5 for 5 with 5 HRs, but I'm also hoping the rest of the team goes hitless and we win 10-5 or something like that.

I have no problem with that, as long at the Red Sox win.

[a700hitter]

Hall is just awful. When you are rolling out guys with ERA’s that are almost 19, it is embarrassing.

It has gotten so ridiculously horrid -- half the games this month alone allowing 8 or more runs -- that I have to wonder how much longer true Red Sox diehards will tolerate this new (cruel and unusual) franchise philosophy of "taking the pain"...

 

As much as ownership appears to be behind Bloom and his strategies, I would be shocked if some major splashes are not made in the offseason. And I don't consider the expectations of the Nation as elitist or spoiled, either; not when the Red Sox charge elite prices for tickets, parking, concessions and swag.
