[Brock Beauchamp]

Can the Sox get back on track against Holmes?

Not if you ignore my game-thread, which was the only chance the RS had!

Next time, add a date in the title and it’ll be more likely to be noticed? IDK. I’d merge it with this thread, but I’m on my phone at a kids bday party. 🧁 

Maybe there’ll be double thread mojo!

Sox are falling faster than an Acme anvil.

3-0

Game over already. 
This team absolutely sucks. Last place team. 
Waste of time watching these bums

[Tedballgame]

Giolito looks like a total waste of money. Story is definitely a waste of money. 

[jad]

Well, the good news is that Giolita has almost as many outs as runs.  It's a start.   I thus absolve myself of all responsibility for this mix-up.

No MLB team wastes more money than the Sox. They've made it into an art form.

Giolito is pitching his way out of the rotation when Fitts is ready

Accountability is important.

He'll have to fight Houck for first one out of the rotation.

Paying Sale while he wins the Cy Young for another team has to be the best example of the utter stupidity of this front office.

Henry needs to sell the team.

Waiting For Guffman should be the Sox mantra.

This game is most likely over. Have to find something else to watch.

As long as people are filling the seats he'll never sell.

People should come but everyone should stand up in unison and turn away from the field and bend over for the entire game. 
This team is an embarrassment. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The good news: Sox haven't played the Rockies yet.

The bad news: Sox haven't played the Yankems yet 

[FredLynn]

Story is totally useless

Or he could stay here and watch As The Stomach Turns.

Not going to waste much time watching these bums today. Probably check out the Jets/Stars game. 
Gonna be a long long summer Flops fans.

Not totally; he still plays decent defence. But offensively he is a waste of space.

You mean like Rafaela.

Too many bums like that on this excuse for a team.

[FredLynn]

Screw these bums

5-0

outta here

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe Gio can join Houck on the IL.

IL = Ineffective List.

[Oscars]

This Red Sox team flat out stinks 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching Gio tonight begs the question How bad is the Royals' offense?

After a bad start the Braves are firing on all cylinders. And yes the Sox stink. Almost as bad as this new format.

[illinoisredsox]

Giolito should be his own long man tonight; no sense wasting whatever the pen has with Bello going tomorrow.
