Sox need Yoan and Eloy to be offensive forces.  

Those are the two guys I would trade to retool this team.  looking at this team like the '04 Sox to the '05 in terms of finishing off what needs to be done to get over the hump.

you are still dreaming.  

Total embarrassment on the Altuve homerun.  He should have been hit instead of giving him a cookie right down the middle.

After watching the way the Sox played throughout the regular season, I didn't expect the Sox to get past the first round of the playoffs.  This is who the 2021 Sox are.

 

Wow, hate to see it.

Bullpen has sucked since Angels series

Tampa Bay was better than the Astros

Team ERA over 8 not gonna get it done in any series.

No need to leave because of rush hour traffic, but I wouldn't blame the stands for emptying.

So in retrospect, Tepera insults the Stros and instead of that working, the Stros beat us 10-1. Geez. You open your mouth you need to back it up.

 

Tepera pitched just fine, looks like some of the others need to take notes.

All the Sox can do after this pathetic 3-1 series loss is be good enough to dominate the division next five years and hope to strike lightning in the postseason. Still probably will happen if Sox win division next five years. Wasn't this year.

 It has been a pleasure gents. While not the outcome we wanted, the season was the best since 2008. Let's argue over money moves that won't happen for the next 3 months! Peace out tonight!

Organization full of wimps

The Sox are already starting next season with Tim suspended because they appealed so he could play meaningless games the final weekend. No need for Liam to miss games as well.

Man if you are defending Tony today, I am not the one who is dreaming.  The man had one job.  His team completely failed and shit the bed.  That's on him.  That is quite literally why they fired Ricky after last year.  Believe it or not the manager IS responsible for how their team plays and performs.

glad we rested everyone though.. the benefits really showed.

We got our dicks kicked in. Everyone is to blame. But leave it to you to single out the one guy you've had an agenda against since day one. 

Sometimes, you just get beat. The Astros are better than the Sox in 2021. We'll be back.

Nope, their pitching stinks

On to the off season.......

Let's get back at it next year.   Thanks for all the banter and fun during the season and playoffs.  Hope we make the improvements needed for next year and become a legit contender.  

GO BEARS!!!! 

just want to this to end at this point

Can we please say goodbye to Kenny Williams also it’s beyond time.

Out of curiosity, how much of the damage was done on fastballs this series

Maybe Tony will become a spokesman for My Pillow.

WSox pitching was the biggest disappointment in this series. The positioning/lack of hits with runners in scoring didn’t help but all the walks were just killers

Gotta think it was probably all of it.
