Interesting that the wheels came completely off, directly in the wake of another DP self-indulgent & unprovoked RAKE on Eck?

A truly pathetic year for the... #1) The SR. It trickles down from there #2) The BP. Too overworked & stressed to have a chance - still, NOT GOOD! #3) Defense, errors, & inconsistency Nothing you all don't know.

Put a fork in this one lads! It's OVAH!

Does that not prematurely start the contractual timeclock & options issue with our young guns?

No. I don't think so. Price truly looks like he was pissed at having to come back after Paternity Leave, & just didn't give a s***. As already said, "at least Sale looks pissed. At least Porcello looks pissed." Price certainly looked like he gave a s*** last year. Especially in the post-season. Lately? Especially post-Eck? He's like the little bi+ch who finds out nobody likes her after viciously going after a "nobody" in HS.... When her classmates collectively give her the, WTF bi+ch was that?" She's pissed! & doesn't give a flip if she takes the whole thing down.

Please stop with the spoiled rich kid BS. NObody expects a WSC every year, but if you've got the highest payroll in mlb, you expect a good to great year. The SR has sucked. Flat out SUCKED! Those making the BIG $$$$ , i.e. Price, Sale, Porcello, etc. are going to take heat. FANS cheer GREAT PLAY, & converse BOOOOO horrific play. It ain't rocket science.

No "team meeting" can solve these pitching problems!

Unbelievable !

LOL :] I'll take what he did for us last year, & call it a wash.

Red Sox sellers? My arss!

I'm all for a trade that helps this team get better, but anybody in favor or trading JDM, Mookie, Bogie, Beni, Devers, etc, has a screw loose. Trades should be to make your team better. With a contender, which the Red Sox better be for the next 5+ years, trades should be ALL ABOUT making our team better now. You don't trade away GREAT PLAYERS on the promise of getting a good player. It makes no sense, unless the Sox are suddenly going to go with the youth, that does not exist. We HAVE THE YOUTH & the stars right NOW. It's FLAT OUT BEEN a HANGOVER SEASON, & the major problem has been the PITCHING! PITCHING ... PITCHING....PITCHING .... & let's face FACTS. The SR has burnt an otherwise decent BP the f*** out. It is ALL ABOUT the SR, & Porcello and Sale have been straight up horrific. Sure, a few guys have had disappointing years, i.e. Beni, Mookie, JBJ, but IT IS NOT TIME to sell off the STARS in pursuit of making the team "better." Anyway... I trust Dom is not this STUPID, so I won't worry.

Notin as far as the baseball season goes, I think you are right, but there is a broader issue with Price. I think he seems to be a guy who tends to bash Boston first, because he buys into the outdated "Boston is a racist town," ********. Boston is as progressive a town as ANY place in America, yet he gloms onto the minority of knuckleheads in Boston, & judges Red Sox Nation based on the lowest common denominator. It seems to frost the s*** out of Price still, that so many sided with Eck. Rather than assume it was that his attack was an attack on a DECADES old love of a Boston legend, he seems to take it as a very personal, if not racist defense of Eck. Eck brushed of Chad Finn's repeated questions about the incident, but Price pounced on it, & went as low as you can go.... "Nobody likes him. He has no former teammates who can say anything positive about him. I'll have hundreds of teammates who will say they love ME!" WTF? This is almost pathological with Price, and it speaks to a profound lack of respect for a decades old love affair Boston has had with ONE OF our legends. Eck simply also happens to work for NESN, & Boston fans don't suffer fools. We WANT guys in the booth who will call it like they see it. Price is so thin skinned that he has to get personal, & go scorched earth and hominem? THE BIG ISSUE IS, that Price shows no respect for Boston fans by continuing to savage OUR legend.

Sure Kimmi! Understandable to be upset by the loss of a pet. The problem is, that Price once again lost control of his emotions & went on the attack of Eck. Eck's quote in the Chad Finn's comprehensive piece on his HOF career was a big nothing, & a clear attempt to say that neither he or Price gives a damb about the other & that they has both just moved on... Price, once again went scorched earth on Eck, not only saying that he has no former players who like or respect him, but also strongly implied that HE would have scores of players praising him in a similar retrospective when he is retired. It was another bizzare, childish, petty, demeaning, etc unprovoked attack on Eck, & it still stems from a profound need to justify his original attack of Eck on that plane 2 years ago. He can't stand that part of Eck's job is to add color to the NESN broadcast, & give honest opinions about what is happening in the game, & what is happening with the team at any given time. He is not there to be the play by play guy, he is there to give color. Price can't handle ANY criticism, especially from anyone Boston, so he USED the E-Rod comment 2 years ago & saught to embarrass & humiliate Eck in front of the entire team, & everyone else on that plane. Now, he hates Eck & what he does so much, that he can't handle an article designed to honor him. PRICE can't handle any criticism, so HE used the NOTHING reaction about E-Rod 2 years ago, just as he used this NOTHING quote in the Finn story to take more shots at Eck. So clearly Price feels badly about the passing of his "best friend," but that is no excuse for INDULGING HIMSELF with another tear down of Eck. Price is the problem, not Eck. The passing of his pet does not excuse more ad hominem attacks & more petty indulgences.

Eck, after being repeatedly pressed by Chad Finn on the Price humiliation incident... "I didn't know how to deal with that. I don't plan on saying a word to him, I don't plan on seeing him, never," Eckersley told The Boston Globe Magazine about the incident. "I don't really give a (expletive) one way or another. I don't think he really cares one way or the other." Pretty damned benign. Nothing to get worked up about, unless you are BMOC David Price, going out of his way once again to try to humiliate Eck. Now Price wants to assert that Eck has no friends to talk about him in the celebratory piece on Eck's HOF career. Price looks pretty small in this latest dress down & attack on a Boston Red Sox, & mlb HOF legend. All the way back to Eck's original nothing comment about another horrible outing for E-Rod, Eck's quick "yuck" comment was NOTHING, but Price used it to savagely embarrass Eck in the team plane. Just pitch David! 4 in, 8H, 6 ER The distraction didn't help your pitching. Just throw the ball big guy.

No. It was a direct response, with context, to Hitch's critique on 'how some/ many in the media can run with a false narrative.' As many in the media are running with unsubstantiated stories about why Papi was almost taken out / assassinated..... Not political. Just fact.

Get well soon Papi!

I'll leave it at that.

While for the most part I agree with your take on the UK Daily Mail, perhaps you could differentiate the substantive difference between FOX's clear Right Leaning bias vs. the obvious Left Leaning bias of CNN, MSNBC, etc.? Can you list for me some significant news stories, not the opinion side of their coverage, where FOX falsely reported a major news story? For the record, the "reporting" by the msm on the Kavanaugh Hearings, & his reported "35 year old" Chain Rape charges was beyond the pale. The msm turned the scales of justice upside down, with the tried & true "well, we can't PROVE that he didn't do it, so it's the seriousness of the charges that MUST rule the day."

As you well know, I have NO humble opinions. Cora can do NO wrong! Until he f***s up. Then, we savage him.... for a full minute. & all is forgiven.

Still, pretty tough to knock JDM

I have a pretty badly torn rotator cuff, & I have ZERO doubt I still make that throw on a ROPE... at age 56. With MS

Ughhh

The immaculate 7th

I really do get the frustration with JBJ's bat.... I do! BUT.... HIS glove has saved so many runs, that I definitely think he makes up for it. I get that some don't, but he IS ABSOLUTELY the VERY CLASSY & educated Dennis Rodman of this BAT HEAVY Red Sox Team. The f***ing guy won several critical playoff games with his BAT last year!
