face it -we got nothing but salary relief in the Devers trade.

Actually, the absence of Devers has made the Sox a better team.

That was Fred. He knocked a kid over to steal the kid's seat on the life raft.

A man’s gotta survive, right?

That’s not as facetious as it sounds.

Some how we had a somewhat decent pen, then we added Alcala and Hicks who Cora seems hell bent to put into these tight games only for them to show  us why the teams traded them (as they suck).  Maybe you put these guys into games that 10-0, but not in games within 5 runs.  I don't have any trust in Campbell either.

I think most people would agree with that.

[Tedballgame]

I predict that Isaiah Campbell is terrible.

It’s easy to predict that they are going to lose when they are already behind late in the game. I predicted today that the sun was going to set in the west and rise tomorrow in the east.

The difference is, I KNOW that an uncertain event will occur before everyone else 

[Jasonbay44]

Isaiah Campbell f***ing blows

[Maxbialystock]

Yoshida is being paid a lot of money to be a bonafide 5 no-tool player.  He can't hit, hit with power, field, throw, or run.

Cora put Alcala in with an 8 run lead and he couldn’t hold it. Chapman had to finish the game.

Just knew the streak would be over tonight. Anyway rebound on friday.

But he's a riot in the clubhouse.

Apparently, you don’t know any lottery numbers beforehand.

Campbell for Alacala was literally ass for s***. Bernardino is easily better even vs righties. I really don’t get it.

He doesn’t know anything, he’s just a troll who predicts every game as a Sox loss and brags when they do lose

[Tedballgame]

Campbell should be DFAed tomorrow. He sucks.

I do

But the lottery commission had been on me to stop revealing the winning numbers 

[vegasbob]

Campbell sets the table with a HBP, let's the runner go free for 2 bases stolen, then gives up a bounce for a run  because of his own sloppiness and unpreparedness to pitch.  F'ing loser

Chaim whiffed when he signed Yoshida. I don’t know what he saw in him to give him that kind of contract.

A smaller version of Ichiro.

Cora believes in the dud liberation movement.  If you are on the active roster, you can't hide.

Untrue

Yesterday I called the game over early revealing that the Flops would win.

A little appreciation would seem to be in order here

Given our starter, you have a point.

On to San Diego!

Winning streak ovah

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I would package both Campbell and Hicks and have them picked up by UPS.

[FredLynn]

We have Boohler to

tolerate on Friday . That should be fun

Not

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wouldn't wait too long to bring up Tolle and Sandlin. If they're worse than Hicks and Campbell, the Sox are in trouble.

Hicks actually has a sub 4 ERA with the Flops. Not great-but not horrible either. Like I wrote earlier he is inconsistent. When he throws strikes he is pretty decent. When he doesn’t he’s awful.

OK. Then I'll have Hicks picked up by Federal Express.
