Plutko? What is this some pitcher from the 1960s?
-
This could be the game that makes or breaks the Sox season...or not...or it's a Sox game in the 2018 season of utopia.
-
No 2 players has benefited more from Cora's approach than Bogie and Betts.
-
But today's Sox rooms and fans (who a lot are younger overall, I get that), it's again hard to complain about a team that is about to win 108 games.
-
I bitched in Sox rooms because there was less of a result that ended well. It was a lot of agony. Some great wins of course, and then the WS titles and then it got boring. It did.
-
Brian Johnson is the team's mini MVP.

slash, my problem is that I used to post in the old Globe room during games and it was legit!! Meaning, the managerial moves, the dumb lineups, the poor use of bad relievers, the failing on certain hitters who were trotted out into the same batting spots thus allowing them to fail and fail again (think Darren Lewis way back). And those games turned into?? LOSSES....And here we have this team that wins, and wins, and wins, and wins and wins. It doesn't matter what they do, they win. It's a great team. And again, I totally understand that it's meant to be allowed to bitch, vent, etc...it's good therapy for jung, I'm sure. I'm laughing at it because of the team's ridiculously good success compared to when we used to bitch about teams that were really a bitch-fest every game. It's a perspective thing. But no way am I trying to put a damp cloth on this particular part of the room.

jung, you have all the right and freedom to criticize the Sox, no problem. Just saying this is one of the few Sox teams that pretty much wins like those 14-2 Pats teams.
-
It is when all you dealt with was gloom and doom like I did for a lot of years. Now I'm going to enjoy a winning dominant team...it doesn't happen often. I'm very pleased with this team and find very little to whine about it.
-
By the way, I was far more critical of Sox teams way before you were born.
-
Call it perspective. Team is 50 games over .500...50...80-1 in games they lead after 8 innings or something ridiculous like that, but hey the bullpen sucks, and the Sox catchers can't hit, and Brian Johnson is terrible (but keeps being involved in Sox wins), and Cora can't manage in game situations. Whatever.
-
Boy, you would have loved the pre-2004 Red Sox teams. Bitching for a real reason back then.
-
Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?

to answer the thread's question: No. Again. No. -
jung, two long-time Sox fans called you out. Sounds more like you have a problem about quite probably a 105-win team. I'm enjoying everything. I told an Guardians fan who was gloating, "we beat you twice in a row!", I said: "hey, win all 4, get it out of the Sox system." That's because the team won't lose 4 in a row and responded with 3 HRs and a 10-spot, which pretty much is why this team just keeps staying on a roll, consistent and winning. This is a special Sox team, no guarantee on winning a WS, but all the components to do so. Zero complaints.

vegas, same guys seem to own this park annually. it's like they can't wait to come to Fenway.
-
Red Sox are winning? Unusual for them to score 6 runs or more in a game. Is this the same Red Sox team that has done that all year?
-
Of course, who homers tonight? EE
-
Fenway lovers include Melky Cabrera, Nelson Cruz, Edgar Encarnacion, Kendrys Morales, and every banjo hitting Oakland A.
-
I wonder how many singles were hit in that 25-day period off those same relievers?
-
Kelly disappoints me in that he has good stuff, but he just can't harness it enough.
-
I used to call him Bad News Barnes, but he's been solid. Hembree too, liked that both can strike a guy out when it absolutely has to happen.
-
From a pen standpoint, Barnes numbers impress me the most out of those stats.
-
This loss is an indication that when you are 50 games over .500 in a league with some pretty good teams like Cleveland, NY, Oakland, Houston, Seattle, chances are you are going to lose some games to them and in a row.
-
f***ing Bowie Kuhn!!!! That basthid!!!
-
We can always buy a reliever...or not in this case...love this photo of Petrocelli shaking hands with one of the great relievers ever.
