Sunday might be lowest rated playoff game of 2021 except for blips from Houston/Texas market.

Yes, not exactly recreating 2014-15 Royals' three headed monster dynamic.

Highlight of last decade for native Iowans...

Sunday will feel like a funeral. Hahn should be proud of this completely predictable result. One can already imagine his press conference saying all the right things but pushing the wrong buttons or claiming financial limitations.

It was so obvious...Hernandez is no threat, and Engel/Hamilton at least provide defensive run prevention value.

Adios, Kimbrel. Correa owns the postseason.

This is now looking like a slo motion train wreck. All the worst aspects of Sox baseball combined, minus Robert and Abreu giving it their all.

Here comes the icing on the cake.

What is our advance scouting budget? Have a feeling Top Ten posters at Sox Talk could strategize spray charts better...

There it is.

can we just start over with the entire bullpen other than Hendriks, who also had more change his share of blips this year as well but won't be traded...

Should Bummer have fielded that?

And we still have to fill those holes and Heuer as well with Kopech to rotation and Kimbrel too expensive.

Otoh, could be the Jays on the outside looking in...

Why do I have a feeling we see Kimbrel in this inning...

Should put Hamilton in the game...Leury is going to do something uniquely Leuryish out there.

We must get the least out of one of the fastest overall teams in baseball on the basepaths...and then we have our share of 1B/DH/corner guys too.

Just can't seem to get that big hit to fall now...lots of well hit balls but nothing to show for it.

Four hits, six times on base so far...

Robert looks like he wants to beat Houston singlehandedly.

Sigh. Starting to look more and more glum.

Please just go away Hernandez...

Impossible to imagine defensive issues in the outfield the remainder of this game...guess we see Hamilton batting in a key situation late.

We thought Berman was so bad back in 2005...that was kind of fun to see the beloved BoSox go down at least.

Feels like we have to strike now...with at least 2-3 more.
