  1. The plan was for Casas, Mayer, Anthony, Teel, and KC, and RAF Man to all be in a Red Sox uniform leading the charge right now. Oops.
  2. The Geeks, and Nerds have completely taken over, and I don’t know if they ever will be put back in the bottle anytime soon. The Cleveland Cavaliers coach said as his team was down 3-0, and in the process of getting swept by the NY Knicks that analytically they were winning the series. 🤭🙈. That is Geeks, and Nerds as bad as it gets, and as Geeky, and Nerdy as it gets.
  3. To speculate that DD couldn’t have done a better job than Bloom with the same budget is just wishful thinking on your part that you have speculated many times, and of course if that happened it wouldn’t have made Bloom look so bad. Bloom was bad, but Bloom would have been bad no matter what IMO.
  4. The Portland SeaDogs theme song to a catchy tune is baseball the way it should be. On the other hand the Red Sox to the same tune is the way baseball shouldn’t be.
  5. Bloom was hired in 2019, and said things were going to be awesome in 2023, so he was on year 4.
  6. I think this sums things up pretty well. You are right NO ONE knows what DD would have done with a limited budget. Of course if you have a limited opinion that he would have not done so well that would make Bloom, and Breslow not look so bad.
  7. Yes, and the Phillies have been in the postseason the last 4 years, which I think most Red Sox fans will take.
  8. Thanks. I guess it depends what you need most. In the Red Sox case both.
  9. What does that amount to in Saves, HR, and RBI?
  10. I will take the people who hang out at the bowling alley along with the ones who frequent the local longest running sports talk show in New England along with the Major talk shows in Boston not to mention the major sports networks to what little common sense that comes out from behind the Curtain. It’s amazing to me that all those people have no common sense, or are wrong, but throwing spaghetti against the wall a thousand times over does. Those fans are more accurate than you, and more right than you. Your average is worse than DUBins. Now posting 9th for TS #0 MOOn DUBins.
  11. Mookie also said the reported 10yr/$300M offer the Red Sox reportedly made didn’t happen.
  12. That doesn’t support any theory that Betts wanted out, but only supports the theory that every step of the way Mookie wanted to get as much money as he could. It was already mentioned, but I’ll mention again that by reports Mookie told Rice he didn’t want to leave Boston.
  13. Huh? Huh? Huh? How did you come up with Mayer has no trade value when the talk was all about Masa? Mayer wasn’t even MENTIONED.🤭
  14. What a Great weekend for sports! WNBA, NBA, a GREAT Indy 500, and the NASCAR COCA-COLA 600. Did I miss anything?🤔
  15. 22-30. 8 games under 500. I repeat 8 games under 500.🤮 What can you say that hasn’t been said before? Well about this? 8-17 at not so friendly Fenway. Finally the Red Sox have succeeded in falling all the way to the bottom in all of baseball in runs scored. 🤮
  16. Not getting a big bat in the middle of the order, and a 5 man rotation for 4 spots of DH/OF looks even worse now than before the season even started. Add to Mayer’s, and especially little Anthony not living up to expectations along with Duran’s troubles, and you are despite some pretty good pitching what your record says you are, which is pretty much being the lowest scoring team in baseball with a 7 games under 500 record. B O R I N G!
  17. Betts, and the Red Sox battled pretty much all the time Betts was with the Red Sox on a contract. Control time was running out, and the Red Sox wasn’t going where Betts wanted them to go on a last contract, so finally a trade was made.
  18. The Red SOX are 7 games under 500. I repeat 7 games under 500. 29th in the league in runs scored, and those 2 runs they somehow managed to score yesterday banging out 5 hits kept the Red Sox from falling to last place in runs scored.Yes they are still close to a wildcard spot, but only because the league is so watered down, and weak. Yes you can play the illusion of contention game that some are, but this is still a 7 games under 500 team no matter where they are in the standings. I don’t see at the moment things getter any better despite the good pitching they have gotten trotting out the likes of Gasper, IKF, Sogard, DUBin, and Golden Boy Mayer, and yes little Anthony in his cameo so far. This is definitely not the Red Sox that you’ve accustomed to watching swinging the bats growing up at pretty much anytime, and it’s definitely not must watch TV.
  19. It’s bad enough Red Sox fans at the game have to watch that mess, but they have to pay Top dollar to do so.
  20. If a team who is 29th in the league scoring runs can’t use Masa For Mayor why would anyone else want him?🤭
  21. Yes you can call them a third, fourth, or last place team, and have the illusion of contention, but what they have been so far in a very weak, and watered down league is a team 5-8 games under 500. 29th in the league in scoring runs, and they keep running out the likes of the not so great Gasper, Sogard, and DUBin, which is not must watch TV especially if your not a diehard.
