Evoldi starting game 4, Yes it is over! Win 108 games and your 31 million dollar man gives it up "again" in the playoffs. To top it all off you run out a stiff who the Yanks and Dodgers and a very good pitching organization in TB let go. Mind boggling and mis-management at its highest level. I'll quote the greatest Manager in Sox history Terry Francona, "good luck with that"!

First round exit pink hats, Priceless

Verlander and Cole should have had one or both, thanks Dave

Priceless

Price will opt out especially if he sucks again next week If you think Boston operates on a Budget your nuts. You clear payroll and it starts with Price Porcello Kelly Barnes Hembree Pedroia and any other inconsistent train wreck 107 win team that is not the clear favorite to win a ring next week and your worried about payroll, lol. When they get bounced in the first round it will be house cleaning time to include Dombrowski

How did u like Kelly Friday night vs the Stro’s?

Get ready for the next 100 win Team to exit the Tournament. Your not going to win a Series when your top 4 relievers have an average whip of 1.6 The above list of pitchers were all available through the years but hey, what more can u ask, u got Price and Diamond Dave, what more do you need?

Stooge

Add the wildcard my friend and it’s 12 Degrom Verlander Cole Lester Lackey Gonzalez Grienke I’ll quote Slider if any of u pink hats are old enough to remember one of his famous movie quotes? The above list “is long and distinguished like my Johnson “ end quote. The 3 stooges and now Kimbrel averaging 5 walks per 8th 9th innings the last 30 days. Not going to get it done folks

If your definition of an Ace is David Price you haven’t watched much baseball have you? Ticking time bomb which can and will explode at any moment. Good luck with your pink hat assessment Add in “way back” Rick Porcello back to his old self allowing the HR ball you have every contender in the AL licking their chops Dombrowski blew it last August when Verlander was past on. Tax strapped is a beautiful thing! You might win a 100 games but it’s the final 12 wins that count and there isn’t enough pitching starter or relief to get it done! It’s a fact and the facts are undisputed

Exactly why he should have been dealt at the deadline. In short order he is a bust. One of the worst deals in Sox History Still time to dump the stooge

LOL Define “good run” ? It only counts in October and if your relying on a guy from the Japanese leagues in Brasier to bail u out, I’ll just quote Mayfield vs McGregor, “good luck with that”!

Devers would be the youngest player in Pawtucket and Portland combined. What’s that tell you pink hats ? It tells me with 16 hr the player is a potential star in this League. End of discussion

How bout we get to the point without all the pink hat talk of “could he, will he, would he” nonsense. Bust!

A broken clock is right twice a day

I told u pink hats the three stooges were toast! Now instead of getting that power arm DD needs a reliever. Lol Kelly should have been dealt back in June along with Hembree to clear cash to go after a legit setup man. Tax strapped is a beautiful thing! Thanks John Tom and Larry

LOL You can thank DD for the 30 million dollar bust 30 mill to spend this July would start prepping the duck boats NOT!

Are you denying Luchinno wasn't a problem as well?

All you Poster's are great Sox fans! I respect all your opinions. I'm here to keep it all in perspective for you guys and gals, thats all!

See Harvey

What nonsense? Your pink hat mentality is fine. I won't hold that against you. I will say The Organization needs the pink hats to pay those outrageous ball park prices and praise every player move they make or every draft pick or every new Manager that runs the team into the ground. I myself, when I see an Organization built by a Hall of Fame Executive, win 2 World series Titles then get shown the door to include a Manager who won you both those titles by an incompetent Ownership group, I question it! Cherington brought the Sox Ownership back into the game with the Farrell hire and the same dirt dog mentality to win a ring in 13. Then Ownership via Luchinno low balls an Ace pitcher with Hall of Fame post season numbers and you have been chasing your tail ever since. Garbage Free Agent signings. What is the result, fire Cherington bring in Dombrowski who continues the string of "not keeping payroll flexibility" by over spending on a DUD! Now that 30 million could have been the reserve last year and this, to go out and get that one big chip to win you a Ring. You only save and spend the big smoke $$ on premier power pitchers like Lester Scherzer Verlander Kershaw to an extent Cueto, not inconsistent pitchers like Porcello. The same for hitters. You pay the superstars of this game like Manny, Ortiz, not the sandoval crawford Hanley duds who eventually tax strap you. A DeGrom trade wins you a ring, without him, keep paying the piper and john henry!

Regular Season Stats mean jack! Ask the 2001 Mariners who won 116 Games, led MLB in ERA what their World Series Ring size was? Starting Pitching Stats last 2 post seasons 22.2 IP 41 hits 28 Earned Runs says it all. Just think, if the Sox were not cash strapped and traded for Verlander last summer. Grant it, Verlander might not have helped the 17 Sox but he sure would have put Boston as the clear cut favorite to win a Championship this year. You cannot continue to blow massive amounts of payroll on garbage players who limit your flexibility this time of year when your a contending team. IF DeGrom is available ? 3 1 Post season record 2.88 Era 25IP 29K There is zero guarantee of winning a ring, but you need the Flexibility as a GM to GO get that one final piece to put you over the top. EVEN if that one final piece might be a year or two away! Dombrowski made some very good trades but he over spent on a DUD in Price much like he did in Detroit with Cabrera and let Scherzer walk. Post It!

Why dance around the issues like the pink hat and liberals do? Call it like you see it, Price is a bust ! Its that simple

Not enough SP to win a ring. All the pitching money is tied up in Triple AAA, the Dominican, San Fran and Priceless. Sale on pace for another 200 plus IP, Porcello HR rate climbing as it was last year, ERod is a 5 inning pitcher.... I quote the words of the great Terry Francona, "Good Luck"
