Well DD was brutally wrong on that one.

Impossible Dream: Red Sox Nation Begins

That is so cool that you were at Opening Day 1967 -
You are in the weak-ass Division.
-
And that's why it is not worth stinking and coming in last place.
-
Winning the Division one year and leading the Division the next year can be very concerning to some people.
-
DD didn't sell high on Shaw. He traded him as his trajectory was still on the upswing.
-
So it was Theo's fault?
-
But he was inept to prevent the cliff in 2014 and 1015.
-
One of our hottest hitters is getting a rest, even though he will get 4 days off after tomorrow.
-
And look at our history of first round picks-- lots of misses.
-
You are worried about the 2021 cliff?
-
That is about how far a 5'6" player can hit the ball. Rather than pinch running Travis, I would have pinch run Marrero and pinch hit Travis for Lin. Travis is a power threat. I don't understand that move by Farrell.
-
It's the 8th inning of a 1-0 game and the announcers are telling me a story that AB was a great high school basketball player. Talk about forcing the content.
-
OB: "Lots of 1st pitch strikes. You wonder if the Red Sox are going to adjust to that." Eck: "They will have to adjust tomorrow. It is the 8th inning."
-
Porcello has had very good Defense behind him today.
-
We have a terrible offense.
-
We will. I will trade a 17-18 kid for an established major league starting pitcher almost every time. It is just too long to wait and too much development that a teenager needs. Unless the guy is 6'5' throwing 100 mph, I will take the major leaguer. Espinoza doesn't have either of those attributes.
-
Two base runners every inning. The guy stinks. Two s***** years sandwiching his Cy Young year for $21 million/ year. He is a 4,25 ERA pitcher over 9 years.
-
I never questioned the deal.
-
Can Porcello keep the ball in the park and not give up 2 base runners each inning? You can't give up 2 HRs every game and pitch to a 1.50 WHIP. That doesn't help your team.
-
If he pitches like a solid 4/5 over this year and next, we have no complaints if Espinoza doesn't make it to the bigs until 2021.
-
It was a botched pick. There is no arguing that, which is why i don't give a rats ass about how high we draft. Unless you get the top guy in the country, they are all shots in the dark.
-
We had a crackhead running the ship-- Butch Hobson. I was glad that they went on strike in '94. Edit: Crackhead Hobson was so out of it that he forgot to take his little kid home from the ballpark one day. He didn't remember until he got home and his wife asked for the boy. And Hobson was a highly regarded manager at the time. The Red Sox fired Joe Morgan for fear of losing Hobson to the Yankees. LOL!! And then people wonder why I have no regard for managers.
-
If DD wins the division 2 years in a row with the Red Sox, he will have done something that hasn't been done in my lifetime. Theo didn't. The futile Ben didn't.
-
The last day of the season hurt a few times, but then there was hope for the following season. Last place, is just totally disinteresting almost from April. No excitement, nothing to anticipate. No chance at anything.
