Those first two wins of the series (with homers) were making me think Sox were gonna go on a binge at least at home. They were awful today; as dull a game as they've had all season.

Goodness. Sox are such a collection of badness.

Good scouting. Hit it right at that SS. Puke 1 out

I love me some Burger but guys who never take a pitch are a.) rare in baseball and b.) mathematically will have lousy batting averages. That's for the few people who still care about batting averages tho.

Burger likes to swing; rarely takes a pitch.

Three of the Sox players I hate the least are up right now.

Nice day to relax at a ballgame cept for the prices of course and the fact the Sox have done zip so far today.

No bats. Sox don't believe in sweeping series the past several seasons, actually prolly dating back to my man, Oz's Sunday lineups when we actually had a good team.

Might as well keep the bats sizzling. Nice win again. This is better than finding a way to lose every night. Burger mania.

Amazing how Sox are finally flexing up and hitting the long ball at home. When's' the last time we beat Cleveland 2 in a row (not counting some dumbo games at the end of September). Games that sort of counted.

Robert and Burger are the only 2 on the team I'd pay to watch hit.

I'm not an unreasonable fan ... kudos to Sox when they win. Once again when Sox play 'modern baseball' they do better. HRs. Nice bombs tonight. Robert turning into a star before our eyes; same with Burger. And the guy i've hated on, joe kelly, is dealing. And apparently Lynn is better than a DFA candidate. So nice win. If you are going to have as bad a record as the Sox, at least try to stay 'in it' by dominating division foes. Verdict out on that; Sox still can't play on the same field as the Royals.

Robert is pretty good. The games I watch he chases a lot. Pity me. He's a pretty good player.

Let's all be reasonable here. We can dislike Timmy at times but he didn't say he hates it here. He hates the pitch clock (which fans love). He still is one of our few multi-hit guys. Has a lotta multi hit games. He's not the best defender but improves there every year and has a good bat. But on this issue? Cmon. He's not evil.

At least Sox have one guy who looks like a lock for 35-40 homers per annum if he doesn't get hurt. He'll hit 30 plus this season if no injuries.

Sox don't seem to value the long ball. I like Andy Vaughn but don't expect a ton of HRs. Crushed doubles.

I agree, still Pedro should be embarrassed at his group of injured losers.

I hope somebody from the team reads this. It's possible.

What's it like at the ballpark this year? Good food? Reasonable prices?

Oh boy, the Sox stink. We lose again, 4-3. Poorly constructed ballclub with a rookie manager. Puke.

Wow I didn't know Elvis was out 10 days. Just release him after he recovers or let him play in AAA; seems like a nice guy. I like the win in a snappy 2.5 hours. Too bad the team stinks but the win was great. Seemed like a lot of fans were there. We do have great fans. Let's realize that.

Yeah, he'll hit 5 to 10 IMO.

Beni is OK, nothing against him. But he's not a fave of mine and having him five years is scary, so I would definitely trade him. Maybe some team with $$ and a need of a decent hitter/fielder would take him off the Sox hands at some point. No offense to him. He seems OK but what's the point of having him?

Too bad Bill Veeck isn't owner. He'd realize this team is an abdomination and would do something interesting to at least make it worth watching. That said ... of course Pedro should be fired. Season is over so let Ozzie finish out the year; if he says anything outrageous just send him back to TV and bring in Stoney or Beckham from TV. But Pedro should go. Of course he should. There's nothing to lose with letting Ozzie be interim. Like I said the season is over and let him do his thing minus the offensive statements.

Good philosophy. One thing nobody besides me ever talks about is how much $$ it costs to go to a game if you are not a secondary market/hunt for dollar hot dog night type expert. Any article or talk show about attendance should discuss the reality of the situation: enjoyment vs. $$. Let's say I would have driven to KC for one or two of the four-game series vs. our Sox. If I met a friend there and paid 20 for parking, 35 for great seat, then the 20 dollar burger/fries/drink combo, then the one beer (10 bucks) and late game dog (9 bucks) it'd cost me about 100 bucks total. ... Yes probably half that after doing the secondary market thing. Still a lot of $. And those games? Our only win, 4-2, was so dull. Lost the other three. One other thing to levine: Who do the Sox have you would pay to see? Maybe 1 starting pitcher (but damn they don't matter; they go five innings and are done for the night with no effect on ultimately winning the game nowadays cause they can't go more than five). Everyday players? Maybe Robert is worth paying to see. Vaughn on the chance he'll time it right and bomb one out. Sox have 'maybe' two players you would pay to see. Talk about that in attendance discussions.
