At least the Field of Dreams game was cool

Great line by the TV man:

"Kimbrel, close to untouchable for the Cubs, has been something like a punching bag for the Sox."

Right.

If this was Jason Bennetti he'd be singing the nationwide jingle or doing something else dorkish or stupid.

2 bench players in your starting lineup: also bad. Need a real RF and 2B. Preferably left handed hitters.

I swear if I see Fucking Leury on this team next year

Hahn and TLR + staff minus Katz should be gone but they won’t 

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.

Astros catch the hard hit ball the precious inning by Grandal. We don't catch a liner right at the RFer. That's the difference. 

The defense is just killing both for us not making the plays, and Houston making them.

I've been a big Hahn supporter but he can go too.

Katz is the only keeper IMO.

Kimbrel implodes. Who saw it coming?

How do you pitch to Tucker with open base and weak righty up next?

So much for that “giving up Madrigal will be worth it October” angle. Kimbrel fucking sucks. 

Kimbrel managed to complete fuck whatever trade value he had as well.. probably won't won't pick up the option

Better luck next year boys!

It's one thing to have a close competitive game, but getting blown out is unacceptable.

That is why you don’t trade big chips for a closer when you already have a closer. Uggh. 

they aren't a serious organization, nepotism runs the show and it always will until Reinsdorf croaks.

Kimbrel sucking is a double whammy because not only does he crush the Sox in this year's playoffs, but he's no longer a viable trade chip in building next year's team.

Name one playoff team that Leury in starting for in the playoffs.  

Welp.

It never made any sense, but its what happens when GMs get too cute.

Highlight of last decade for native Iowans...

The bullpen overall has been a huge problem from day 1

7 runs after being up 4-2. I can't believe how shitty our bullpen and manager have been

Kimbrel is a fucking joke.

TLR is a fucking joke.

The bad decisions all the TLR fanboys were excusing all season happen in game two of the ALDS, and pretty much cost the Sox the game. Taking Engel out was epic stupidity.
