Lots of talk about why watch the Sox now that they don't have a shot. The removal of Hanley from left has done wonders in making the games more enjoyable....

Shaw goes yard to tie it..

Where's Castillo tonight?

These guys screwed up royally early on................ Finish strong..............

No tanking............

The best part of the next five topics we get to beat to death, is we will have the previous five topics to revisit and beat again to death some more.......

Thanks for the Championship two years ago Ben. Hanley in left?????????? Come on.........

His line has almost been ace like material all month......... somewhat a little un-efficient....... maybe one inning a game......

Kelly with a 6 inning 2 run game....... Oh sure............. Now you come around.................. but damn........ he is now starting to pitch like a starter......... maybe trade value? anyway........ him looking good makes things interesting...... Pen....... starter.......trade value.......????????

Ross our new closer.......I love it!!!!!

It shocking how well he is hitting.......... now I'm at the point where I'm wondering if and when he will cool off.......... He can hit MLB pitching......... this stretch is no longer a "good month".........................

I can't believe I'm happy to see Ross come in...

What the heck... he just keeps hitting and hitting........ MVP . . . ... . he can hit MLB pitching.......!!!!! You were right...... Damn he is exciting to watch....!

It's hard to argue the Hanley signing........... If sinking for a couple years and getting some playing time for players most gave up on......JBJ......... Then it could be as close as next year we are in the mix............ with a couple of acquisitions.......... it isn't easy predicting when a rookie is going to catch on no matter how bad ass he is................ probably easy to sell low on rookies not performing.................... someone kept a good base of ultimate badasses........

A lot of the stuff you were calling all year is starting to materialize......... just way too late........ I bet Cherrington is sitting home watching the games going bonkers thinking "why the heck didn't these guys do this months before". Last I saw Napoli is hitting over 300 in Texas.........

I like to think that I am Hanley's number one hater...... I really can't stand his game........... But there has been enough reading material underlining that he is a pretty good guy........ and want's to do what's right. Ortiz had some really good things to say about him, he seemed to genuinely care about Farrell.......... I think he may be a person who you would want to work with and not a guy you hate working with......... I still do believe he doesn't think defense is important enough to give it much thought............. but I think he may now be realizing he sucks so bad at D that he want's to step it up. About midway through the year he started backing up people, and gave what I thought looked like more of an effort on the field......... but he just isn't an outfielder and I think doesn't have much athletic ability other than hitting.......... I've given Hanley a ton of s*** this year................ but I starting to think that him not being a clubhouse guy is not true....... How's this.... I don't think he is a negative in the clubhouse......... but I don't think he sparks a winning attitude also....

I read this earlier and have been laughing about this post all day........ it's such a stunner I have no reply to this........ but seriously that was funny........ You are a sick and twisted person . . . .. . . I love it..........

That's funny..... no ones ever asked me that, and I've been doing it so long I can't remember why I started........... I think I thought it looks more like I'm just talking.............. like the conversation just keeps going............. like there isn't really an end to the sentence or thought.......... it's probably annoying as all get-out. Please humor me......... I don't think I could change it if I wanted to............

See........... that is what I've been saying the problem was all year............ . our guys have picked the wrong people to channel..............

I like to dance..... I like to dance......... I like to dance ...... baby.......! What was up with Owens???????? The only game I saw of him he was really good........... I may torture myself and go back and watch the beginning........ they tee'd off on him...........

Ors now taking pop shots and joking about getting let go.......... Talking about his next gig and how he wants to get to do a movie with De Niro......... Also went back to calling the play after him and Remy talking junk........ Ors then said " Hey look at that I called the play"........ Free Orsillo!!!!

Rem and Ors said Betts went off the bag........ I didn't see it at all........... I really don't know what happened there...

Damn...... Hopefully Owens has their number tomorrow....... You got to do a double take at the line from Porcello.......... JBJ just keeps hitting.......

Damn.... I just saw the Shaw error......... and just last night I'm thinking how comfortable he looked at first and how I think he will be a really good first baseman...... I probably jinxed him..........

ahahahahah ahaha.. .. . I need to keep my mouth shut......
