This game was great for 72/3 innings . After that it SUCKED. That is all.

Maybe in Chicago. It was 86 degrees in Boston when the game started.

I'm talking at the end of the game.

Lol. The manager has no bearing on that whatsoever.

 

But seriously, this team is contending with Manny Acta.

I'm not worried about contention. I want to see a young team learn how to win together.

 

Robin gets in the way of that.

Whoever is blaming RV on this loss is delusional. Of course you take out Sale at 108 pitches with 2 outs in the 8th. Petricka is our best arm out of the pen so far this season and he just had an off night, same with Guerra. Bullpen blew the game tonight, not RV.

A lot of venom in this thread for a loss that is completely meaningless. If the Sox finish one game worse than some other team to get a top 5 pick everyone should remember this game and be happy.

Yeah, I get it. Someone has to get outs. I've conceded that.

 

But no need to bring anyone in there. There is no escaping that.

 

 

So do we trade Viciedo for De La Rosa and Nava. That was last week's deal and now Hahn saw both first hand tonight.

Please tell me why you don't pull him immediately after he gave up the hit then?

No way are they giving up De La Rosa for Viciedo. Thing is, seems like Boston is fully ready to become sellers.

I would have at least not chuckled at everyone of your ridiculous posts in this thread had you commented BEFORE the bullpen started imploding.

No ...............Nava is DFA material.

So winning some but also losing more? Kind of like what they are doing now? Because winning more than this and they are in contention.

I could care less what you do, Dick.

 

I was sitting on my couch enjoying my evening.

 

Then Captain Dumbs*** ruined my goddamn evening.

 

I don't post for your benefit, trust me.

No, winning about 5 more games and feeling good about themselves and learning to win in general.

 

I have no illusions about them winning anything important this year. It's a development year. These choke jobs are doing nothing to further those objectives.

I never said you did, but apparently you can't handle your pops.

I don't drink during the week.

So Robin has directly lost only 5 games for them?

I am sure the players are as smart as you and know they didn't choke. Dumb Robin just struck as usual. This is a 130 win team with a message board poster making decisions.

Maybe you should start.

Well then none of us knows jack s*** and our opinions mean nothing.

 

May as well shut down the site.

I'm blaming Ventura if Rodon doesn't pass his physical. Just want to say that before it happens.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 07:53 PM)

The odds of that are directly related to Robin continuing to be our manager.

I'm not sure, I black them out like a bad night at the blackjack table

Never said that, but if you read gamethreads, there are very few games the Sox should lose, even with all the players on the roster who need to go away.130 wins is conservative.

 

There apparently are some of the greatest baseball minds of all time on this board.
