starting these two games at home would have been a big difference.

They built up the division lead during the injuries! That’s what I hope that we look back on in the future, not this narrative that injuries somehow affected this outcome. We are here now with The healthiest lineup we could’ve hoped for, and it isn’t making a damn difference

Already psyched for the next round. 

Guess this is what it's like to be a Twins' fan the last two decades, albeit with at least twice as many playoff appearances.

I understand this is a place for venting, but anyone that thinks any of KW, Hahn, or Tony isnt here next year is kidding themselves. 

If HFA doesn’t matter, then why does someone like Yoan have no power on the road, etc?  I’m amazed at how many people are negating now much it means in terms of crowd support and performance.

So cool man. Hope you cherish those memories

Yes sir, will never forget the joys the Sox gave especially in 50s and 60s GO GO years. 

Maybe this is wrong but I've been a Sox fan since 1952 and I feel like I deserve more than 1 World Championship in 70 years, put up with so many sleepless nights and a whole lot of heartbreak.

I definitely think Hahn might go elsewhere if reports from last offseason are true

the level of fucking idiocy that this board can bring out never ceases to amaze.

 

Jose was 2-4 with an rbi today and yesterday had the only rbi.

 

so he strikes out in a game that was already over but he is the problem?

I think he was thinking of what the 'ole Hawk used to say.  Don't tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit it.

they are just TLR supporters.. trying to act like it doesnt matter.

I agree, but Tony is a big roadblock to overcome whether home or away.  That being said, I ain’t quitting yet.

Imagine being a manager and knowing you have 5 fresh relievers and 1 who hasn't been successful on back to back and pitched yesterday and say to yourself, let's go get the former in the biggest moment of the game and season. It's honestly amazing. I can't get over it. I was cracking up

Find solace here… I guess it doesn’t work, actually.

Of his own accord, maybe, but none of them are getting fired.

It’s mind bottling 

Can we all just talk about Luis Robert and how he's a fucking god.

I just hope they aren't banking on Cespedes being ready after the ASB next year or something stupid. Engel is fine for defense, Leury should never see RF again, Vaughn and Sheets should not be in RF. Get someone who can play solid defense out there and can hit. Get a slugging 2B.

we already debunked this theory earlier this year on a ronn thread.

 

down 9-4 is a clutch moment lol?  he could have hit a 3 run bomb and we would have still had a 95% chance of losing.

Agree.  Sox had the best home record in the AL and the worst away record of all playoff teams.  It was a no brainer that we needed to go for the HFA.  Too many Sunday lineup punts.  TLR though he was smarter than anyone.  Too much hubris.

So sorry, who are people blaming for the loss today?

Just please stay healthy.  He legit looks like a top 5 player on the planet.

I'll drive him to the airport.  Even let him play what he wants on the radio.

He swings through a slightly elevated 96 up over the outside corner against Graveman and then proceeds to swing through 95 down the middle part of the plate?  Did you watch?  The only task this guy has is to hit, especially, to hit fastballs, and swinging through 2 straight fastablls in a row in those locations on the biggest stage of all?  

Yeah sorry Jose.  I like the regular seasons tats but you're a dead llama when it counts.  Go climb a hill and disappear on the other side if that's what you are going to do when it really counts.  Again, this is Graveman, this isn't the best the game has to offer.  See ya later.  I'd rather play a Sheets/Vaughn platoon and reallocate the $15M or whatever it is elsewhere at that point.

Just Goes to Show you how bad the division is when the likes Of Yermin, Nick Williams, Goodwin, Hamilton, Jake lamb, and etc. carried this team

Theo turned it down. Can he even leave? I thought he needs Jerry's permission, it's highly doubtful he is a lame duck contract wise.

Jerry stopped Kenny from a promotion opportunity when Toronto was interested in Kenny as their President.

jerry would block out of spite because he hates Cohen, and is pissed he couldn't block him in favor of A-Rod and J-Lo.
