Somebody said it earlier but LaRussa has to be soooo relieved he's not trying to lead this historically bad team.

Those that are watching--how are Jason and Stone reacting?

Kasper covering for Jason tonight.  Pretty much acting as usual. They don't seem super surprised.

I would say professionally.  Not ignoring the insanity from going from throwing a no-no to being down 10-3 but nit bemoaning it either. 

Keep pouring it on boys….wipe this AAA team off the map

They seriously thought that a Benintendi for Abreu swap in the lineup would all of a sudden make this team great.  While Abreu is indeed struggling in Houston, you lost your only 30/100 constant and replaced it with a slap hitter.

Colas and Benentendi, then grandal and moncada suddenly being good was the LHH they thought they had.  Not sure what the plan was with Sheets. 

12-3, lol. The Rays are thanking the schedule maker for letting them play the Sox all these games in April. Sox are embarrassing themselves. Poor fans. Hope anybody who has purchased invested several hundred dollars in tonight's game/parking/foodfest has a lot of disposable income.

I feel bad for Len. He came over here thinking he had a good chance at calling a WS game on radio...guess he should've stuck with the Cubs.

Diekman has to be one of the worst acquisitions I can recall

I see that Bummer gets a $2 mill raise next season; good lord, the way they do these contracts.

I can think of about a dozen just like him. Or worse.

Well there is always tomorrow

They wanted Benitendi in the sale trade , just like getting Griffey 5 years too late here we are.  He's an above average outfield who should hit 2nd or 7th.  Not a Jose Abreu at all.  They just overpaid because they didn't want to overpay for a stud 

Somebody should be drilled but these lifeless douchebags are toast and wont.

Not sure there is a single thing I like about this team......im not even a fan of cease at this point. 

God I hate this team...see ya tomorrow....

And we get to enjoy that slap hitting LF for the next four years!

Who could have known that a trading for pitcher who was in the middle of his 2nd consecutive negative WAR season wouldn't work out.

Can they just quit MLB? I would rather not have a team than this. 

Some of this is on the players. They can't wait to quit.

Next level genius, Pedro has the Rays running so many laps around the bases they will be exhausted tomorrow. 

Sox fans should gather in the parking lot after the game and ceremoniously BURN a pile of their gate prize Sox jerseys.

I think most of us felt that way the day it happened.  Just another terribly desperate move from Hahn has repercussions into future years.

loving the sell the team chants. kinda wish we had a big market team in town so huge TV markets could pick up the story

Len Kasper left because of Sinclair and possibly Ricketts.

Jerry Reinsdorf and Brooks Boyer has likely made him regret this decision.

This is great if it continues to piss off the fans in attendance so far.  New ownership is the only thing that can save this franchise.
