Whitlock  gets ripped.

Just a thorough whooping on a team that should not have been there

[iortiz]

And JH just extended Breslow and Tracy lol

Similar to Custer's champagne celebration right before Little Big Horn.

Don't get me started...that was still bizarre...backed in and celebrate like they had earned it. They got in because AL is dreadful.

[vegasbob]

The remaining 9 outs will be the result of first pitch swinging at anything

It's a comedy of errors. It's as if the Sox were owned by the Marx Brothers.

[NHNative]

This is a tough room.

[vegasbob]

I bet Merloni won't take the commentary job next year. Too painful

[dannycater]

Sox batters are batting like it's getaway day, it is but it's to the golf course

You are naive 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder how many teams that made the PO's had to have a rebuilding period the following season? There's no question this team needs to be rebuilt.

HOW IN THE WORLD YOU ARE NOT PINCH HITTING FOR JONES!!!

I admit it. I hate this team. For too much of the year they have been unwatchable and full of bums. Screw Henry. Screw Kennedy. And screw BresLOW. 

[dannycater]

I love Sogard, I do...but why did the Sox dugout put on the Green Monster hat, it's 8-2 guys

Tracy walked into a pile of dung. 
BresLOW made his own pile

Completely unwatchable...incredibly watchable for 37 games when it was just rally after rally, big hit after big hit, late heroics after late heroics...back to completely unwatchable

[vegasbob]

Kudos to Sogard for the HR and pretty good 2B play this year.

I would keep him for the bench next year

I agree for any value back, but if that is true , why keep him at all ?

 

There are about 22 millions reasons.  No team is going to trade for him unless the Sox pick up virtually the entire contract.  The only way they don’t is if they take an equally bad one back.

He also has 10-5 rights, which means Story can veto any trade.

That's why they should eat it all and pay him off unless they think he is an answer to a need

[Bagwell Anderson]

What is Tracy doing.  Keeping Whitlock out there.  The game is over. Give Bennet the ball. Whitlock doesn’t pitch 2 innings.  I don’t get this

Sogard has been terrific, I love the guy, you keep him

[dannycater]

No Bennett, let Chapman pitch too

Then the right thing to do is to DFA him and cut the losses in favor of building a competitive team. 
Everyone knew that this team needed more offense during the winter. Everyone. Yet we didn’t get it because the owners were too cheap to pay for talent and BresLOW was too stupid to stand uP to the owners and tell them he won’t work for cheapskate owners who claim that winning is a priority but refuse to pay for a competitive team. He should have walked out.

I've always believed the fans take losing in the PO's harder than most of the players do. Especially since this era of long contracts and big money.

There was a time in baseball where the players who won the WS made more money than they did playing the whole season.

Chappy's on his way home.

[dannycater]

Sox should get rid of the following: Kiner-F, Jones, Duran, Story, Miller, AM (sad, he was so good during the streak). And start actually getting a star player or two and start spending money--not just on pitching

Freddy Lynn made $19,500 league minimum won AL Rookie of Year/MVP...mind boggling back then

and we added Crochet to the roster for?????????????

Last night you were complaining that they didn’t use him.  Or did you forget you posted the following: 

“why is Crochet on the roster??  There were certainly 2 options to use him.”

Tonight you’re complaining that they did?  Can’t have it both ways, or was he magically going to have it last night and not tonight.

[Bagwell Anderson]

Tracy doing what he can to injure Whitlock before the game is over 

[dannycater]

Let's give Kristian Campbell a big contract.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I guess this PO series can be added to the shite that's on NBC.
