You can only laugh now. This could be an epically bad pitching staff. Alberto will have more innings pitched than any pitcher on the roster.

Gio is washed. This could be an epically bad season if this starting staff doesn't get their **** together. There is nothing in the minors that can come help.

How can you not give Burger a real shot at DH?

Yea at this point I agree. There needs to be no doubt as far as what has to happen. The problem is with RH and JR making the decisions they will all be wrong.

At least this year I was prepared for the Sox being .500 at best. Still it is disappointing to see how truly bad they are again this early in the season. All the same flaws have already shown themselves. The next thing will be a couple more starters going down to injury and then the wheels come completely off. I don't even know where you go from here with this team. We all nothing can truly change until RH and JR are gone.

TA was yelling at Webb not the umpire. Watch the replay and you can easily read his lips saying to the umpire I wasn't even talking to you I was talking to that mother ****** right there, pointing at Webb.

Like the quick move to Lopez. You play every single game to win. I have lost all faith in Bummer.

The guy can't field, can't throw, can't run, and gets hurt constantly. Time to move on.

What an absolute disaster of a home opener. Totally killed any excitement created by yesterdays win and the split in Houston. Now you have to take the next two against SF and then 2 of 3 against Pittsburgh or this thing could spiral.

Your 2 hitter can't be a walking strike out. I wouldn't give Robert too long there if he isn't at least making contact.

What happened to Stone? Out drinking with his buddy TLR and take a fall?

Great and exciting first win. Cease with just amazing stuff. Some mistakes but hey the team battled and came through huge at the most critical time. Keep in mind this was maybe the best team in baseball they were battling with. Hopefully they can one of the next two and win the series.

I for one really like Romy. If he can take that next step it would be huge for this team. I think it is a great move starting him tonight. He has been swinging the bat really well the last few weeks so why not see if it carries over. Also not a bad idea to let OC watch this one, maybe get him in as a ph later in the game. I'm sure he will be nervous as heck and it might help to just watch this first game to calm that somewhat.

Very pleasantly surprised by this move and it has nothing to do with Leury personally. It does however have everything to do with him as a baseball player. He brings nothing to the team to make them better. And maybe, just maybe the Sox finally have a Manager that will put winning above everything else.

Listen this teams chance at success this year is all on the shoulders of the guys who were expected to perform last year and didn't. And there are a lot of them. That doesn't include Colas. But if those guys who were expected to perform well do so this year then the addition of Colas could be big. I'm just saying the kid should not have any pressure put on him.

Anyone who is upset with this move is just mad at the world and will never be happy. There is no downside to this. He is an above average glove and has some pop in his bat and can also play short. Also a good clubhouse guy.

I had lost all hope. This hire at the least has given me that hope back. He said all the things I wanted the new Manager to say. He recognizes the most glaring issues with this team. Can he fix those issues? We will find out.

When the Yankees lose this series to Cleveland Boone will become available and the Sox better not screw it up and jump on him immediately.

If there ever was a .500 team this Sox team is it.

Nice to see Bill Gates at the game again. 2nd row in the gray shirt.

Does McKenzie throw more than 10 pitches this inning?

Talk about crapping the bed, the Twins already behind 3-0 in the first. About to lose 4 out of the 5.

As if they haven't tortured us enough this season of course when it's too late they are going to hit 10 HR's today just to remind us what we all expected to see all season long.

Yup.

This team in no way shape or form deserves to be in the playoffs. This season just needs to end.
