QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 01:17 AM) Sale... was great in april and May Pretty non spectacular since then. Too bad they were unable to get Gary Sanchez before deadline. Have to think he's untouchable now. As for Sale, two straight years of way too high of an ERA for someone that's supposed to be the best pitcher in AL

Ball 5 to Anderson

Collins hurt? Two straight days off

Melky has the flu. Heck of a disciplined performance so far. Two pick offs and a blown bunt assignment.

Nice loss

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 03:44 AM) Sox will either go quietly 1-2-3 or we'll score two and that insurance run after Robin conceded will be the difference. The non-Jones and Robertson righties in the bullpen all should be in the minors. Not much Ventura can do.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 02:41 AM) Sox have five hits. Anderson with as bad a game tonight as compared to a great game last night. Now he's down to .276 after hitting .280. Hahn built a horrible baseball lineup. Our team is a nightmare on offense. No excuse for so many low OPS numbers throughout the lineup. Hahn can't produce an offensive lineup and Steverson hasn't been effective with the players he's had.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 02:40 AM) One of the things I won't miss about the Robin era is our team just conceding games. If we're down two runs after six innings, generally speaking, forget about it. We ain't winning. Maybe even after five innings. Haven't noticed the team quitting. They just aren't good.

Awful game....too many guys look like they have never seen an offspeed pitch

QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 01:46 AM) I always thought the acquisition of Manny was the dumbest ever, but this one is much worse. I'm surprised the media isn't bashing Hahn over this one. Maybe they don't care. Media doesn't even know Sox exist now with Bears starting and the Cubs the greatest team to ever be assembled

Navarro cuts lead in half. Nice to see offense

0-2 hanger for homer number 2. Dumbest acquisition in Sox history

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) Sure. It is obvious they were in the market for a new name, but the results are all around disappointing. The deal isn't that impressive, and it sure isn't a very impressive company. What this really does is scare me for their next TV contract. It's becoming pretty obvious that a change in ownership needs to happen sooner rather than later. There is no positive momentum at all for this franchise.

QUOTE (Insp @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 12:51 AM) Is it just me or has the team given up tonight? Looks like a similar effort as to last Shields start. Can't believe they aren't more energized with this ball of charisma on the mound.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 12:50 AM) Yeah, all his offspeed pitches have no deception. I wonder what the Sox will do with him in the off season, seeing as it is almost a guaranteed loss (no pun intended) with him on the mound, and that isn't an exaggeration at all. At this point, just pray he retires. He's finished as a big league starter.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 12:49 AM) Guaranteed Rate guy went to all the 2005 World Series games. Seems very genuine. Ty Pennington in the booth too. Cubs fan

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 01:39 AM) Shields just doesn't have it anymore. 45 pitches in 2 innings, 2 runs allowed. Looks like he has confidence, and this is one of the worst offenses in the majors He's just done His velocity isn't even bad. To me his changeup sucks now, and that was always his best pitch

Shields has the worst body language in Sox history

Here come the meatballs. Fire Hahn!

Truly amazing how bad Shields is with 2 strikes. His pitches have nothing on them.

Chances Sale tears down the logo?

Honestly this reminds me of the backlash Cubs received after the mascot reveal. It's been uphill for them since so there's hope for the Sox.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) No. I mean it is an awful name, but I can't blame a team for wanting to see their park's naming rights. Just seeing a lot of people saying this is their lowest day as a Sox fan. The LaRoche reaction and Sale jersey story were way worse

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) Wow, this is f***ing sad. Some 3rd tier mortgage company/broker/business. Couldn't get Walgreens, a big time bank, airline, Fortune 500 co?? They end up with some shady mortgage broker?? Isn't this what happens when your teams consistently suck, you attendance sucks and your TV ratings suck?

To be fair, it's not even in the top two of most embarrassing days to be a Sox fan this season
