Ok

Crochet has made it through five. I’d recommend Cora remove him now to rest him up for next year.

These guys are laughably horrible 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox need to sign a player in the off-season with warning power plus.

[illinoisredsox]

1 hit and 1 walk since Bergman’s homer.  It’s Mel Brooks’ Silent Movie again tonight.

[FredLynn]

Another error by Story

[illinoisredsox]

Lowe has to pick that.

They need more than one

It all starts with the manager and his lack of presence.   Cora does not command the room and this team will turtle once again just a little later this year.  If the Sox don’t replace Cora the cycle of less than mediocre will continue.  He can’t manage to win only to appease.

He shouldn’t have had to.  Lazy throw by Story 

[illinoisredsox]

Crochet not great tonight, but again gives them a chance.  A loss is on the offense (again).

I think Cora’s time is up. But the main problem is simple: lack of talent. And that’s Breslows fault. He absolutely must be fired.

Not a great throw but it’s a first baseman’s job to save those.  Wasn’t an inbetween hop.

The Sox offense is so bad, the batters could do mime at home plate.

[FredLynn]

This can’t be! I already called this one over!

I mimed Duran into making a noise.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Keeping Duran next season and trading Abreu makes sense to me.

Btw, Abreu is Spanish for 'soon.'

Staying with the Silent Movie theme, Marcel Marceau says “non”.

That movie was a long lead in to a one word punchline.

Blazing Saddles was and always will be Brooks' best and funniest movie.

The surname "Abreu" 

does not translate to a specific Spanish word 

You made that up

Agreed

Though Young Frankenstein was also excellent 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe having 6 of 9 remaining games on the road is an advantage for the Sox.

Agreed.  It’s funny to watch YouTube reactions to it, especially by youngsters.  Sometimes they get the point but a lot of times they can’t get past certain words.

Thats my favorite one; I was always a huge Teri Garr fan.

Is Fred actually A.B. Normal?
