We were completly  disillusional   thinking we could beat a good team like Houston, may as well get swept 

Every button LaRussa pushed today, blew up in his face. A Reneria like postseason managerial performance. 

The only suspense at this point is whether Kaat is getting fired for his Yoan comment.

Fire TLR

Fire Katz

DFA Leury

Trade Kimbrel

Sign a damn major league RF

At the very least we need a bullpen voodoo/witch doctor/shaman.

Maybe Cotts and Politte can be honorary advisors.

Both Sox trade acquisitions were worst in baseball numbers wise after trade,

Only Tepera was a good trade and he didn't even pitch that much for us. 2 of 3 moves by Hahn at the deadline cost us this game.

I am now on the same bandwagon as @Look at Ray Ray Run.

I wanted nothing more than craig to dominate. 

Trade deadline was a disaster. Larussa was a disaster. Larussa just has no idea what he's doing. Been horrendous with defensive positioning. Some reason moves leury to rf to get cesar an at bat lol. Has Hamilton on the roster. And the worst fucking thing by far is he's saving Michael kopech for a game that isn't even going to be played. Kopech should have came in instead of crochet and we literally probably win the game. He goes 2-3. 

I guess at least kopech will be rested next year. 

And poor bummer. What shit luck he's had all year on balls in play is because his dinosaur manager has no idea what he's doing.

We obviously have issues to address. RF and 2B for starters. Hopefully we spend $$$ this off-season for starting caliber players. Shame on the front office for rolling with Leury and Engel to start in a post season game.  I hate the AssTros but they are better than us and better managed.  The question is, will TLR be back? ?

You know, it's crazy, we had a 2nd basemen for the future.  Though I'm trying to forget what happened to him.

I just want to say most of the people complaining about having Engel's bat in the lineup are the same people complaining that he got pinch hit for.

They pinch hit him with the coldest hitter on the team though and weakened the defense accordingly

Gruden will overshadow him

Pinch hitting for him is fine, but not in the situation in which it was.  And it bit them big time.

If Leury isn't gone someone in the FO must love looking at his hot ass wife

I supported the addition of Kimbrel and acknowledged the price was incredibly high, but he failed to deliver on all levels.

Yes sir.

I'm guilty and wrong

money being spent wasn't the problem, look at the payroll and look where all the money is wrapped up at, guys who you can't rely on other than Hendriks (fuck Moncada btw, awful extension)

How many times have we used Hendriks only after the game is over?

At least we’re not the Yankees or Cardinals… that’s the best I can do of being happy right now.

The Sox literally probably win this game if kopech comes in for 3 innings in the 5th

Its ok guys we get to beat up on the central next year. First division win since 2008! Woooo!!!

Won't happen imo.

Cleveland  will be really really good if SP healthy 

KC will be good. 

Minny will be better offensively 

Detroit probably only bad team

RF defense has been Sox Achilles Heel all season with Goodwin, Leury, Vaughn, Sheets.  Instead of getting a good RF at trade deadline we trade for another expensive reliever who has been a bust.  Hope TLR retires after this season and Hahn gets an early retirement package.  We cannot waste another season in this window..

Don't forget Jimenez's role in all this. Not so many smiles and laughing right now.  He really needs to work on his game and his physical conditioning.

I heard the apology but i missed what he actually said, can you fill me in.

Bring me whoever runs Tampa Bay

Many of us said we should have fought for that 2 seed. Of course this is what happens when you punt HFA and take the last month and a half off to over rest. But that rest sure is helping.
