WOW………….UNREAL

Disgraceful…this team and the management should be ashamed of themselves.

this team is all time choke team sorry but true!

You bunch of mother fk %^(*^&%&*^*&^%%$!^&%$#!~O^%RPE$~%!#3

snafu in boston.

Papelbon blows it again in the most important spots. Makes that rediculous stare even worse. Hopefully the Sox will let that clown go along with some more of these overpaid , out of shape primadonnas. An absolute digrace from top to bottom for what happened this year.

theo plz go with tito plz plz

Maybe on the way home the plane will blow up with every player om it
Red Sox doing not belong on this earth

Papelbon has now blown two post seasons.  The Nation will not stand for having that bag of S around any longer.  He is so f’ing gone.

How fitting that the season ends like this! Papelbon can’t seal the deal and the $20M left fielder can’t make a clutch catch. Meanwhile the Rays show Big Ones to win.

WHAT WENT RIGHT FOR THE RED SOX

literally nothing at all

Well, Lester got it done. But throwing everything and the kitchen sink for days and playing like trash for most of september finally fully caught up to the sox.

The Yankees laid down and died – I mean 3 hit by pitches and walks to get 2 runs in before a home run and no real pitching changes.. you can tell the game really doesnt matter to one team when im seeing AAA playing.

And so the season ends – But Lets not say the red sox just epically collapsed. Lets say they didnt do it alone! the Braves had 10 1/2 up on the Cards and they are gone to. So two epic collapses in one season. In the most unexpected of ways seemingly.

As a side note: Am I only one who went “What the *** they make shirts and hats for the wild card winners?” I mean.. really? thats just milking the fan base lmao I would never* buy a wild card shirt or hat EVER.

Terry and Theo should both get gorilla costumes.

Well you can’t fault them for losing, they were playing against the World Champion Orioles.

And how many chances to score some insurance in the 9th with 2 on and no out can can’t do it! Finally a half way descent performance by Lester and they can’t f’in score more than 3 runs? Are you joking? Keep Pedroia and Ellsbury, can the rest of the team.

And Crawford, I’ve seen better catches in my softball league you are a f’in waste on this team, good for nothing.

wow my triple A yankees couldnt hold a 7-0 lead and then it was 7-6 in the 9th and then no mariano to close the game hahahahahahahahahaha….why because yankees didnt care about the game sending the sox home feels soooooo much better!!! bye bye best team ever!!!!!! hahahahahahaha

When did Tito decide that the best way to use Gonzalez is to bat no one behind him so that the opponent can walk him. He was a complete non-factor because of that.

Which is Taller, the Tobin or Zakim bridge? Unbelievable?

Word don’t describe this. Heads should roll over this. A disgrace to Boston Red Sox history.

Boy I cant wait for tomoro. gonna hear comments from all the sox fans who think they’re experts. It’s gonna be ammusing. The only people we can blame for this meltdown are the PLAYERS. they’re the ones that didn’t produce. dont waste time blaming anybody else

Wow, can Crawford recover from that season, that last play? It’s the pre-2004 era all over again. I want to puke all over this team.

Good bye Tito. You will be missed. Feel free to take Crawford with you.

yankee fans and everyone else have every right to trash this team all they want, why not, we are more than anyone! Just don’t deserve anything except Ellsbury. Now he won’t get MVP either since they are missing playoffs.

Guess this was payback for the Red sox minor leagers taking the Yankees out of the top spot last year and handing the division to the Rays. They seem to be getting in the habit of handing a playoff spot to the Rays lately.

I’ll be going to see the Rangers in the World Series again….was so hoping it would be the Red Sox instead. Pretty sure it won’t be the Yankees!!

An absolute digrace to human life THATS THE RED SOX
Gonzalez Ortiz Crawford Beckett Lackey Papelbon You guys are worth ZERO
It was a country Club for the players and Theo and Franconna should eat shit

In reply to yankee27:

Maybe MLB should investigate the Yankees for throwing the series. (I’m serious.)Also, your Yankees lost 4 straight going into the playoffs. Not good.

@yankee27

your team laid down and died and that’s a disgrace no matter which way you cut it. This collapse still has nothing on your choker in ’04.

Someone’s got to go and I’ve got the list. Theo has blown hundreds of millions on junk. Tito mismanaged this team on a daily basis. Magadan had a whole season to get Crawford back on track and couldn’t do it. Young oversaw the total collapse of Sox pitching. I’ll save the players who should go for a later date.

typical red sox.

Help Wanted: Red Sox seeking pitcherfs that actually can close a game with one strike left, a manager that does something other than chew gum the entire game, and a General Manager that can hire million dollar players that actually produce results..cause all these people need their asses fired asap!

One thing that Sox fans should keep in mind for next year — the Yankees laid down and let the Rays have that game. The Sox ought to come out and really kick some Yankee butts next year. Literally.

Francona should go! Is it possible to fine Papelbon for throwing too many fastballs? I may be a woman, but I’ve been a baseball fan for a long time and I know that if your continue to through a certain pitch over and over again, the batter will be looking for it.

@yankee27 don’t gloat too much…the yankees are the next team out.

So what used to be the favorite saying of Sox fans was the greatest comeback in post season from 0-3 to beat the Yankees. They can add the biggest choke in baseball history in september, losing 20 of 25 games. The sox showed no leadership, no heart, no spine and no future. this team is a mess going forward. What a joke

All this hype we heard all season…& then this…Big changes have to be made..Paps should be gone as well as Drew, DiceK, & Ortiz..How about going after Albert P. & a good pitcher..Also dump slacky Lackey…

@yankee 27, your team has nothing to be proud about tonight.

stop blaming francona hes a great manager blame the players and big papi’s steroid shipment not coming in on time!!! hahahahaha…fire theo!

The Yankees played that game like they were a bunch of blow-up dolls.

jacoby does deserve the mvp…..THE BIGGEST COLLAPSE EVER!!!!!!JUST WATCH THE YANKEES IN THE PLAYOFFS GUYS! 2009 CHAMPS AND HERE WE GO AGAIN!

west coast soxer….Need a tissue?

Your team had no heart !

7-20 in September. Started the year with 4, or 5 aces! A few weeks ago you were talking about 4 MVP candidates ! PLEASE

Heads are gonna roll on Yawkey Way. It’s gonna be a long, interesting winter. You gotta tip your hat to the Rays. They simply wanted it more than the Sox. I’m just wondering who’s that Providence Journal Sports Writer that said in late July “The Sox are guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.” Yea you wanna admit that mistake buddy. Joe Maddon should be AL manager of the season & Francona should lose his job!

ok. lets be real.
#1 theo-see ya
#2 no matter the cost ( as if we have not experiance it before )
fire or let go the following: lackey, crawford, drew, (hate it) drew, veriteck, conditioning coaches, medical staff & the bull pen minus, papplebon, bard, aceves.
start over & rebuild for the next 2 yrs.
we waited 60-70 yrs., we can awit another couple

Gonzalez is blaming God for the collapse?

Yankee fans, don’t you have a street to sweep?

I know you all want to blame the yankees, however wade is one of their top relievers. The yankees went out with their top lineup and got 7 runs, that should have been enough.

Lastly, you cant blame the yankees, the sox had a chance to close it out, and were one strike away from doing it, however, Papelbon for what ever reason couldnt do it. He closes out that game and it is onto tampa tomorrow. He blew the game

After the parade.

You man Agon, clutch

SOX SUX HA HA…. THATS WHY YOU GOTTA LOVE THE YANKEES!!!!!!

its ironic how both of the biggest collapses in sports history belong to the sox!

You sox fans are really okay with Paul’s comment at 12:15. Seems really over the edge, even for a saux fan.

This team blows…..170k payroll and you can’t put together a 50 percent effort for Seprmber. This sucks.

Paul-side note. As pissed as I am.. Little too much on the airplane comment

Boston became the first team to miss the postseason after leading by as many as nine games for a playoff spot entering September, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

YeahI agree. That comment by Paul is o t e. he probably took too much Xanax tonite

Theo needs to go. He’s done a good job with the farm system but he has been horrible at free agent signings. His payroll is way to high to be underachieving as he has done the past few years. The first world series he won had a good amount of Duquette signings so I wouldn’t give him the total credit for that championship. 2007 was his title. Good job, that was 5 years ago though and he has had the 2nd highest payroll in baseball since then. He should have manged to put a dominate team on the field for the past 5 seasons…he hasn’t.

Yankees fans can talk all the trash they want to….right now…they are in the playoffs…probably will lose in the first round however….
Come on red sox nation….let us get a grip…..
Tito is a good manager…..won us two world series….how many other sox managers can say that?
Epstein is a good gm…..his good roster moves far outweigh his bad ones
Pap is a really good closer…..except for rivera…..most other teams would want him on their team

Get rid of lackey…dicek….wakefield…..

When Scutaro got thrown out at home, the body language from the dugout was telling–they all looked and were acting like they had just failed to take the lead. YOU WERE STILL WINNING THE GAME!!! I think they all knew they had to get an insurance run or two in order to have a chance at winning.

And on that point, not that he cost the game, but Tim Bogar has got to go. He has been screwing up third base coaching calls all season. For other coaching staff, maybe Tito goes, I don’t know–I wonder if he getting burnt out. BTW, wtf on batting Papi 3, Gonzo 4? Should have been reversed. Gonzo was a non-factor due to this ordering.

For players, bye-bye Paps, Papi, DiceK, Wake, Tek, Wheeler, McDonald, etc. Lets bring up some of our farm players. Seems like Theo does much better on player development than free agents. For the other dumpster fires we’re stuck with for the next however many years, here’s to hoping they figure it out and maybe step it up next year.

WOW – congratulations to the Rays! They definitely wanted it more then our over paid prima-donna’s! Joe Maddon definitely deserves manager of the year! We (the Sox) lost! It wasn’t the Staynkee’s responsibility to win for us! Too bad El’s won’t be able to get the recognition he deserves for trying to carry a bunch of over paid freeloaders to the finish line. Wow both Boston baseball teams losing the wild card in the same fashion in the same year! Go Pats! Go Bruins! RIP Sox! WTF NBA?

Calm down red sox nation……we lost alot of people to injury’s this year…..the bullpen wore down do to the overuse because of infective starting pitching and sloppy defense and ymental errors in running on the basepads…
Yes ….some pitchers have to retire or let be let go as well as well as some every day players.
Ortiz.youk.elsbery.pedoria,crawford.pap.bard.aceves.morales.gonzo.salty.beckett.buckholtz.
Lowerie.scutaro.lawvarrny stay…..
Teck..wakfield…drew….please retire
Everybody else…..fair game to discuss getting ride of…..

Get ready for the Expansion Series… D’backs & Rays! Combined payroll of the two clubs was about half the Sox payroll for 2011…

The team chemistry was awkward this year. They need to bring up some rookies next year to give life to the clubhouse. I actually think that Lavarnway breathed life into this club. You need a proper mix of up and comer young guys in your clubhouse or the team chemistry will be flatter than piss on a plate. The red sox are the reflection of their unoriginal and boring GM, Theo Epstein. They are a collection of statistics instead of a collection of personalities. That’s why the 2004 Red Sox team is legendary. They had the right mix of super stars and “dirt dogs”. Guys like Johnny Damon that would go balls to the wall every night and still be joking around and smiling. Kevin Millar loosening up Manny and making him feel comfortable. That was a REAL team. Theo couldn’t wait to get those “clowns” out of Boston.

I never understood why people got on McDonald’s case. He had better numbers against lefties when we acquired Jackson (0 hr’s against lefties). He was a 4th outfielder, not a starter. He would start on other teams. Also, Gonzo grounds into two many double plays. Never saw a hr swing from him. Seems like every time he was up there, he was just trying to make contact. But the biggest fail has to be the pitching injuries and the signing of lackey. Lackey gives up way too many hits to be in any way effective against patient line ups and with the fact that he no longer has strike out stuff, really had no business in the the AL East. Bucholz should have started the game and pitched one or two innings and had Lester piggyback on his start. Ofcourse wouldn’t of mattered due to the rain delay, but lester may have been able to go and it wouldn’t of required a need for pap.

In all honesty, I’m in relief that this season is over. This is one of the most flat Red Sox teams I’ve ever watched. If Theo and Tito are bored in Boston, send them packing. I love what they did for us in 2004 – 2009 but a lot of the recent signings just don’t make sense to me. Why we balked at guys like Matt Holliday, Jason Bay, Jason Werth and go with Carl Crawford, John Lackey and Erik Bedard is beyond me… We need to do something with Lackey. If I have to watch this a$$hole pitch another season in Boston I may jump out a window. STARTING ROTATION DEPTH, A DECENT BULLPEN, BENCH DEPTH… Hasn’t Theo learned that when we had those elements we won World Series’??? Jesus!!!

Look for you people blaming the Yankes,are you high?this was something the red sox should have clinched way before,so it would not come to this,do you realize that if the yankees had not taken 3 out of 4 from the rays in Yankee stadium,the red sox would not have even made it this far?real men handle their own buisness ,they dont rely on other men to do it for them.Now the Yankees will problably not make it thru the playoffs,but remember we did not spend 300 million in the offseason,but when we did in 2009 we handled ours.

What they needed this year wasn’t a medical doctor. They needed a psych consult. Teams have played with more injuries and won. It was a complete roller coaster. A tale of three seasons. Started out like s%$t, became best team in baseball, and then total collapse. We have picked up players in the last couple of years that have no business in a redsox uniform. They don’t have the mental make-up. Time for a change and sad to say, that always starts at the top. But don’t stop there. We’ll debate this until next April and I wouldn’t have it any other way. GO SOX 2004 AND 2007 WSC

@e27titles

What DOES “YOU PEOPLE” mean???

It’s an idiotic thing to get worked up about. Some idiot from Long Island gets all proud and starts pumping his chest about professional athletes(most of which are not from his area) I don’t give a shit. I sorta used to when I was a teenager. So what, I will defo listen to WFAN tomorrow to listen to the Yankee fan’s navel gazing. “Today was the day Russel Martin became a Yankee” etc yadda yadda…….

It’s funny. It’s just sports. I don’t think your average Red Sox Fan is particularly concerned about “Yankees Fans” reaction. I’m certainly not. I really don’t care.

The Red Sox needed Steve Bartmans help tonight

Red Sox are so bad that they couldnt beat a last place team to make the Playoffs. The Red Sox are exactly where they should be going home and regrouping.

Total collapse this sept was. finally can we hire a manager that holds these players accountable. also teach fudamentals like base running,proper defense.??????Just sick about this .Going 7-20 in sept is just mind boggling.I must say some of these coaches need to be fired,especially Tim Bogar.Should be an interesting off season.

@Paul,

Calm down dude ‘just a game’…

Everyone else be careful what you wish for. Papelbon’s career #s are still best in the bigs except for Mo. Do you really want him running to NY to fill his shoes?

Lots of injuries, some bad luck, it happans (ask the Braves). I think the Sox management need to watch Moneyball, that is my solution.

Everyone seems to be blaming someone or something different but with a collapse like this, no one person is to blame– everyone is to blame and this organization needs to seriously reevaluate everything from top to bottom. The laid back, happy-go-luck Sweet Caroline culture needs to change. Between the championships and big money spending, an unfortunate side-effect was complacency and the assumption that the Sox were bulletproof and could cruise to the playoffs no matter what. And for what appears to be one guy taking an optimistic approach here, know that the goddamn plane has crashed into the side of the mountain, my friend. This is the doomsday scenario and I’m ashamed to be a Red Sox fan right now.

Remember all that discussion in April, that no team which started 2-10 has ever gone on to reach the play-offs…..?

@west coast soxer…do u really think thts going to happen ? the yunkees sh*t all over the sox and they just take it.

Wonder how much money Theo will throw at free agents this offseason? Showalter was correct, it’s a lot easier being a genius when you can spend $160 million) but you still have to win some games when it counts). How about some blame on Ortiz, Gonzalez and … (shudder) Pedroia. They were absolute none factors in September.

I nominate BUCK SHOWALTER for MANAGER OF THE YEAR! Congratulations Buck on knocking off those bastards from Beantown! Oh yeah- SCREW YOU BECKETT, PEDROIA , and ELLSBURY, YOU OBNOXIOUS BASTARDS!!!

I put a lot of this season on Jenks’s unavailability. Time to dump him.What the hell. I don’t buy that he’s really injured. Send him to Miami so he and Ozzie can reunite after one long season away.

We can’t blame the Yankees for tanking to the Rays. All the Sox had to do was take 2 of 3 from the lowly Orioles this week. For that matter, the Sox only needed to win 2 of 7 against the Rays over the last couple weeks. Or 2 of 3 against the Yankees. Or 2 of 4 against the lowly Orioles last week. Or 2 of 4 against the Jays before that.

The Sox couldn’t do ANY of those things. They lost every single one of those series. Winning (ot tying!) and single one of those series, and the Sox would still be playing. The Yankees earned the right to rest their starters and play a triple-A lineup. The Sox can’t fault them for that.

Personally, I hope Tito stays. Yeah, he wasn’t blameless in September. But he’s certainly not the only one at fault. He won two World Series recently, so hopefully one bad month doesn’t eliminate all the good over the last 8 years…

You can’t fire the entire team, but you can fire all the coaches.

Im just glad the season over, i hate baseball and living in Connecticut all i here is red sox bullshit. Now that its over i have to listen to crying for a few days, but then no more baseball talk for months. Sweet!

Who cares, better to end it now then delay it for a few more games. This team wasn’t going anywhere this postseason. Plus, nobody is going to beat the Phillies

i love to see boston fans cry.

Yankees Laid Down ??? What a strong argument Sox Fans whine about.
Your team did not WIN ONE SERIES IN SEPTEMBER !!!! THEY WENT 7-20
Epic Collapse…………..They are fit to swim in a toilet bowl……..

SOX A PLAYOFF TEAM !!! WHAT A JOKE !!!

Girardi is the manager of the Yankees not whining sox fans he clinched a division title and can do as he wishes………….

I’m a Yankee fan and we already clinched………I was rooting for Orioles rally and Longoria home run………what a great night………

Yanksox fans, don’t despair. Nothing that another 1/4 billion dollars can’t solve, right? And luckily, you have a genius at the helm as your gm. I mean, anyone who can squander a billion dollars over 4+ years and still have his job and reputation intact, now that’s a genius in my book.

hey pev1 if boston had the money they would do the same thing.

Instead of blaming the Yankees for the loss last night, why don’t the Red Sucks fans think about how they could have closed the deal when the Yanks took 3 of 4 from the Rays last weekend? That was when the Red Sucks really blew it! The Yanks opebned the door ONCE…but they figured the rest was up to the Sox to WIN it…NOT back into it!

Marco Scutaro is the best player the Sux have. the rest of them bring their ego’s to the game and that’s about all.

hey Charlie, I am talking about Boston, because they do have the money and they are doing the same thing; that’s why I think of them as the Yanksox. Can’t understand why don’t see themselves for what they truly are, copycats.
