It's like when you adopt a dog whose owner died . Then the dog takes a dump on your rug.

Anyone who has been watching baseball should understand just how vital the bullpen is in the game today. The Sox still have a high payroll . There is no excuse for them having one of the worst bullpens in MLB. That has to change if the Sox hope to contend in 2023.
-
Maybe Sox fans have become a little spoiled and expectations are sometimes too high, but when the team finishes dead last , 21 games behind their arch rival and the games are often painful to watch , people are justifiably angry. No amount of spin or excuses will change that.

Moon and Notin are not the same poster. They are more like a tag team. " The Legion of Bloom ", heel tag team champions.

Dombrowski took over a Sox team that had finished last two years running. In his first year , they won the A.L. East. In his third year , they won it all. The Phillies had not been to the post season since 2011. In Dombrowski's second year , they are in the World Series. In Bloom's third year , the Sox are back in last place again.

Bloom is the beachcomber with the metal detector. Looking for " hidden gems" in the sand. Head down, he misses the bikini smoke show right in front of him. On to the dumpster next.

Folks, it's not fair to expect John Henry to keep tapping into his fortune to meet the rising costs of owning a winning team. Bogey, Raffy and the boys need your help. That's why I am asking each and every member of Red Sox Nation to donate nineteen dollars a month (that's just pennies a day). Call 1-800- OUR-BOYS. Do it NOW. If operators are busy, go online and pledge your donation to save/our/team.org. Thank you.

Winning or losing is what it is all about. It is literally why they play the games .
-
In the end , results are what matters. Try cashing a losing ticket at the track by explaining why it is your horse lost. It doesn't work.
-
Look at is this way . Nine mil a year for Barnes and twenty three mil a year for Story. 32 mil a year. None of them are getting paid in one lump sum for the whole contract. Dombrowski was fired before he could negotiate any further. If the whole thing is on John Henry , then John Henry should stand up and say so.
-
The idea that Bloom had no choice but to trade Mookie has never been proven. They should have tried harder. They probably could have matched the Dodgers' offer with what they are paying guys like Story and Barnes. Too late now. At least it is still not too late to sign Bogaerts and Devers . Other than that , spend on overhauling and improving the bullpen . That is where games are being lost.

The Astros have had an excellent team for quite a while . No doubt they will be favored to win the Series. But there is always the crapshoot factor.
-
I think Dombrowski got a little complacent and careless after the success of 2018 . The off season did not go well and the results showed in 2019. Still , the Sox went 84-78 for third place. This season they went 78-84 for fifth place.

He was a great one. Hall of Famer.
-
No excuses please. No spin. The Yankees have a good team , but the Astros are clearly better . Plain and simple.
-
Amen.
-
Manuel Margot is just another ham and egger , with a career sub .700 OPS. He was traded seven years ago. Do you miss him ?
-
Dombrowski's record speaks for itself. He is a proven winner. He is able to see what needs to be done , and he does it. John Henry axed him ten months after he produced the winningest record in Red Sox history , ending with a World Series championship. This was a major blunder.
-
The Yankees losing is small consolation . I guess we have to settle for that right now.
-
Did Josh Donaldson change his name to Kevin ? Every time I check the game recap it shows K - Donaldson.
-
A lot of rain in N.Y. Don't know if they will get the game in tonight.
-
The Fighting Phillies are on to the Fall Classic.
-
The Yankees are in a world of trouble . Perhaps Boone and even Cashman are as well. But think about this: They finished 21 games ahead of the Sox. The lights at Fenway have been off for a while now. Where does that put the Sox , Bloom and Cora ? By what standard can you say they have done a better job ?
-
Dombrowski was fired by Henry approximately ten months after he produced the winningest season in Red Sox history, culminating in a World Series championship. Bloom was hired to replace him. At this point in time , it certainly looks like that was a big mistake.

Hitting on a colleague's wife is probably more common than we like to think. However, it is still generally frowned upon. Not usually a sign of being a " good teammate".
