Wow, that Luis Garcia has been just what Dr. Kevorkian ordered.

 

(Look it up.)

As an Old-timey person, I may be visiting Dr Jack’s associates soon!

If the SOX finish at .500, it will still be an overachieving season.

Sox fans shouldn't have to put up with a crap product. .500 teams and/or last place finishes are a joke. 'Ownership HAS to care more than this. Put a competitive team on the field. They have to get a bullpen and at least two quality right handed hitters.

Slaten activated for the game. Wink demoted. Bailey Horn added as 27th man for second game of the day.

The 2024 Red Sox have mastered not scoring a run when Duran leads off with a double 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kelly easily has the best stats of anyone in the SOX BP.

The SOX are closer to last place than they are to a PO spot.

[Oscars]

During Wong’s slide with the bat, he is pulling the outside pitch weakly to the SS

They mastered that  a while ago. It's been a season long art form with a runner on 2nd and no outs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Looking at this Jays' team, Vlad, Jr's RBI total may be the most impressive in MLB.

Just tank the rest of the season to have a better shot at Holiday for the draft.

What was your username before? In past migrations, we've discovered some software stores old usernames and they can pop up during the transition.

I'm happy to change your username to whatever you like.

[Guest]

My preferred username is Fred Lynn. I have probably thousands of posts on this site under that username.

This site is going to take some getting use to. 

[redsoxrules]

The defense is so bad on this team. It's just like last year all over again. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is gonna hurt Keller's minuscule 5.80ERA.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The deeper one goes in the SOX BP, the closer to hell one gets.

[FredLynn]

Can’t watch these goons

But at least I’m Fred again.

I know everyone missed me!

Devilish pigpen.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So, what prospects do you think the SOX will bring up on September 1st? 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If this 2 game day doesn't reduce attendance, I guess nothing will.

[FredLynn]

About to be swept by the Blue Jays

of we are lucky we will finish where we deserve to finish.

Last place

[FredLynn]

Just four games out of last place! I know we can do it!

Hill and Sogard. Not very exciting of an answer.

[FredLynn]

Votes on how many years it will take for the Red Sox to become competitive again?

my guess is 2-3 years 

[Tedballgame]

Hard to watch this team now. Playing some bad baseball. Season is over before September gets here. Just playing out the string. Keep Duran, Devers, Casas, Rafaela, Wong, Abreu, Bello, Houck, Crawford (bullpen), Refsynder (bench only), Kelly. Booser, Bernadino and Joelly are maybes.  Everyone else can be gone for all I care. Story will be here because of his contract. Grissom might be here for FO to try to save face for trading Sale for him.

Unless they hire Dave Dombrowski after the season.

[Bellhorn04]

The similarities between (or among) the 2022, 2023 and 2024 Sox seasons are pretty insane.  Including the offseasons that preceded them and the trade deadlines.  It's like being on a hamster wheel.

[mvp 78]

Well, this was the chance for the Sox to make a run. Dropping 2 to TOR is less than ideal!

This team is done. No energy at all during this losing streak. Need to get on the road. They can't win at Fenway.
