So glad Hawk retired, because he would have certainly died of a heart attack broadcasting this sorry ass team and dealing with Stone for another season.

"And they find another WAY!!!"

Hawk did the right thing in 1986. Period.

From Vegas to Soxtalk, knowledgeable folks picked this roster to easily win the division. That's about the only defense for Hahn that feels valid. This roster is under performing, which I put on Tony, injuries, and players. 

The non impact deadline is also on Hahn. 

Yet everyone knew coming into the season that the holes the Sox ended last year with were not fixed in the slightest.

Lose 3 of 4 to Kansas Shitty

We're all masochists for watching this shit show. Same thing every game. 

Meanwhile in the Sox clubhouse old geezer questions Cueto questioning the Sox fire lol

So all your big bullpen guys are rested. This is a must game. 2 runners in scoring position, and Ruiz?

Unbelievable.  Where is RayLo and Graveman? Ruiz has been terrible in high leverage situations.  TLR is so bad is risible. No sign of urgency or desperation.  Fire this geezer please.  Why is Ruiz is still in the game?.  Shades of Lambert yesterday.

Dear Robert, that big leathery thing on your left hand.  Use that to block the sun.  Don't just stare into it.  Your glasses are not enough to block it.  

Couldn’t be more disappointed in the outfielder he’s turned into

Exactly. Yet so many still picked them to win. I was shocked at the prediction thread. I had them 3rd. Where did you have them? 

I’m going to go on The Show and trade everyone but Cease to feel better about things.

Can anyone find Ruiz inherited runs allowed? He’s awful with that 

Coming into today 47% of his inherited runneres had scored this season. His career number is 48%.

I don’t do predictions because I’m always pessimistic, but I will say they are playing as poorly on offense as humanly possible.

Tigers' Houdini defense coming into collision with Cleveland Clutch...something has to give.

Thanks. Any idea what league average is? I can’t imagine almost 50% is good at all.

At least he's consistent?

Yeah that should have been Lopez, but Tony never pitches his main guys when they’re trailing.

This also shows players tuned out KW with his big so called meeting around trade deadline.

Lack of clutch hitting, lack of power and terrible bullpen management by TLR are the main culprits.

30-35%?  No way it's over 40%.

Cueto certainly wasn't convinced.  He knows what winning clubhouses look like if anyone does.

I started a new franchise in OOTP 22 about a month ago and picked the Jays. Wanted nothing to do with the Sox.

Handing out saves and holds is far more important than trying to win the game you are playing.

Lopez, Graveman and Hendriks only pitched once since Friday.

WTF is he in this critical one run game late? This is on TLR again. What’s waste of another Cease masterpiece. 

KC pen terrible all year looks like world beaters against Sox
