  1. Oh well. At least Cora is calling a team meeting. That should solve everything.
  2. I agree with that part. But starting the season 7 games under .500 wasn't a good plan, and it was a direct result of the SPs not being ready. Again, if they had just played .500 ball they would be right there contending for at least a WC spot. Cora made a mistake. Because he did so well last year I would give him one more year. But after that, no playoffs......and he is gone.
  3. And Cora gets one more year. If they fail to make the playoffs again Cora gets fired.
  4. Wrong. The ST plan explains why this team has been playing behind the 8 ball all year. I think we were under .500 by something like 7 games by May 1. If we had even played .500 ball we would be right in the middle of the WC race. It put a lot of pressure on the team ALL YEAR LONG. That has to have an effect. Being 7 games under .500 right from the start has a direct impact on the standings and mental state of the team right now, on August first.
  5. Its not his fault. Its the fault of the stiffs on the field. These guys, especially the pitchers, have just mailed it in this year. Its also on Cora, who failed to prepare his SPs to start the season. The talent is there. DD has assembled a good amount of talent. Its not his fault that they are not focused this year. Thats on the stiffs on the field, and its on Cora.
  6. By the end of the Yankee series the Sox will be down by at least five games out of the last wild card spot.
  7. What else can you say about this team? Just a useless group of bums. The talent is there. John Henry knows it. He said as much in an interview today. They just played this season with their heads up their collective asses.
  8. Cashner is going to walk in a run.
  9. Betts should have had that.
  10. Why is no one up in the pen??
  11. It got 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. Its probably not bad.
  12. Its hard to go back to back in any sport. The Patriots will at least play hard and smart. The Red Sox are just mailing it in this year. Since the Brady era began the Patriots NEVER mail it in.
  13. Runner on third nobody out. No runs
  14. Moreland should never be in the lineup-ever.
  15. It doesn't matter. No one is going to catch the Yankees in the ALE this year. But now the Astros have the guns to beat the Yankees and go to the WS.
  16. So far in this game a Rays player got a base hit that traveled probably 15 feet because the Sox didn't communicate about who was going to field it and Devers gave up on a playable foul ball. This shows a total lack of focus. Its a problem this year. How often did that happen last year? Never?
  17. Who really cares? This team is going nowhere anyway.
  18. This game is already almost over. Sad.
  19. Cora is going to call a team meeting before the Yankee series. Is he going to start one of the games too?
  20. I wouldn't care.
  21. Nice to see that Henry is viewing the situation logically. He has fielded a team with a lot of talent, but due to lack of focus and will power they are not performing: "“It’s not a luxury tax issue, it’s a question of how much money do we want to lose,” Red Sox owner John Henry (who owns Boston Globe Media Partners, including Boston.com) said before his team got clobbered by its biggest rival on an international stage. “We’re already over budget and we were substantially over our budget last year and this year. We’re not going to be looking to add a lot of payroll. And it’s hard to imagine fielding a better team. If we play up to our capabilities we’ll be fine. It’s a worthy team because we invested. Two years in a row we have the highest payroll. It’s not a matter of investment, it’s a matter of playing well. If we play up to our capabilities we will easily make the playoffs. That’s how I see it.”
  22. 110? I would give him 210. Embarrass him.
  23. Keep him out there until his arm falls off for all I care.
  24. Well they certainly should be booing. That is a fact. You boo your team when they suck; you cheer them when they play well.
  25. Just wondering where all the boos are......why aren't the fans booing?
