I hope the Yankees sweep the Sox this weekend…hopefully that will END the illusion that the Sox have a chance this year ….good teams find a way to win…and bad teams find a way to lose…the Sox are a BAD team right now….they need to blow up this team and start thinking about next year…

Trade Beckett…someone will want him at the trade deadline…
Trade Shoppach…someone will want him and Lavarnaway can use the time with the big club
Trade Ellsbury once he gets healthy and hot…he is an injury waiting to happen and is NEVER going to sign here…
Trade Sweeney and other excess outfielders…
Trade Aaron Cook if he will be a free agent next year..
Let Crawford have Tommy John surgery NOW since he is already saying that his elbow does not feel better…

It pains me to say it….but the Red Sox absolutely suck…and it doesn’t look to change unless they REALLY shake it up…

I agree with you. They really need to get better pitching. Yankees will score 10 runs every time they play.

Will always love the Sox, but just really wish this season was over already. So boring to watch, and these players these days are just a bunch of pansies. They are nothing like they used to be. I remember looking at the back of baseball cards and seeing the stats and was like wow, this dude played 162 games this year, and it was on a lot of them cards. These days its like they work at the Post Office like me and say hell, I need a day off today. Or a vacation for the next year. It’s like they forgot they are playing for our entertainment. I don’t wanna hear no BS, Throw some men on this team and get rid of the babies! 

The great Theo Epstein left this place in worst shape than any year in memory… loaded with fossilized matter and drained of millions and millions of dollars that keep flowing out to all the living dead that Epstein brought in here. Why was that guy so revered in Paul Revere’s backyard? He’ll spend every penny the Cubs have and they will never amount to anything. Epstein gets all the credit in Boston’s World Series but those championships had other fathers and mothers besides Theo Eptstein.

Crawful Carl shhould become the sox cf if he  is ever again healthy.Lester and Ellbury 2 Seattle 4 King Felix. Beckett ,Bard and Bucholz 2 AZ 4 Cahill,Kennedy and Upton.

Carl Crawford is fastly becoming the worst signing in team history – hands down.  This deal is stupid on so many levels!

You are totally right in your assessment.  Very little heart has been shown on this team since last Sept.  In addition to your suggestions, they should also take whatever they can get for Lackey and Crawford at a huge loss if necessary. I’ve said more than once that Crawford really needs TJ surgery if he wants to perform at the MLB level.  Unfortunately, I doubt the medical staff even presented that option to him.  Bottom line, he has to agree to it.  The current management at the front office and ownership levels also suck, but they aren’t going to step down. Methinks we’ll be waiting a while for the transformation to take hold. That’s OK though , maybe we’ll see some magic later on. 

I’m getting so sick of the no way Ellsbury resigns here…. Why?  Take Jenks 6 million and Youk’s 13 and there is 19 million…. They money is def there…. and if it comes down to Ortiz or Ells in a couple of years that would be a very easy decision.  

I’m glad Crawford was set back. I’m glad for Daniel Nava, I’m glad for Scott Podsednik. I’m glad for myself in that I don’t have to WATCH him stumble under fly balls or flail ineptly at down-and-away pitches from that ridiculous stance of his…or LISTEN to apologist Red Sox announcers try to rationalize the situation and sugarcoat about ’silver linings’ as he sits out for a  4th month. I hope Crawford misses the rest of the year so people are totally re-focused on what a STUPID deal this was.

And by the way, many of the other Red Sox have absolutely ZERO mental toughness, starting with Josh Beckett. With this team there’s always an excuse. Well, I’m sick of their excuses. Out of 30 teams they have the 2nd highest payroll and charge the highest ticket prices. Yet today, against the 1st place Yankees, they’re asking us to support a lineup that wouldn’t beat a Triple-A team. From management on down, the whole thing’s a mess, I don’t even know where to begin.

 Write this f**ker off for the season and see if you can get pennies on the dollar for him. Yet another “boner” by Theo. 

TWO words: Guaranteed Contracts. Players today just don’t have to perform. The $$$$$ just keep coming in. Time to BlowUP MLB

A mild vagina stra—-errrrr, left groin strain.

Well said, I could not agree more.  Theo was undoubtedly the absolute worst GM in all of sports over his final 3 years in Boston.

Don’t forget we are in the third year of Lacklusters 5 year 85 million dolllar deal.  And the final year of DUDK”S….huge deal….he’s won 49 games over almost 5 seasons.

its doesnt matter redsox aint going anywhere this yr blow the team up make some major trades at the deadline

i heard vagisol helps grown injuries

All im gonna say is Tim Mcarver is getting old and losing his mind. He sucks now.

One word: Glass

 Is that why he was given a raise and a promotion and other actual bad GMs were fired?

Given enough time, the Sox would have fired Theo. Your right the promotion of
Theo makes no sense…oh, yeah, when was the last time the Cubs won a world
series..what place are the Cubs in.  Case closed, the Cubs are no strangers to
making bad decisions.

Also, for what its worth….you are one of the more intelligent posters and
your points are valid.  I just disagree with some of your assertions..not all
of them, some of them.

Now I understand why Carl missed catching the fly ball that went over his head Thursday night. I thought he was just lazy, but it must have been the injury.

The delicate little flower has another setback.  It isn’t really his groin, he’s very upset about the racial slur that only he heard.  I have a feeling that our baby isn’t ready to face Fenway yet, at least not without a diaper.

Crawford can keep his inept fielding and batting away from Fenway. Please, don’t do us fans any favors and inflict your ineptitude and whining on everyone. We’ve got enough to handle with the accelerating whining that is polluting the air around Fenway. In fact, Carl, why don’t you just take your millions and go play golf with Beckett – after all, that moron says playing golf while injured is perfectly ok.

The only bright spot on this team is Middlebrooks; but I fear that even he may be corrupted by the poison that the rest of the Red Sox team has morphed into.

Not to worry, with the Yankees in town this weekend, Cold Beer and Fried Chicken was being served all weekend in the Club House. And a good time is had by all. Why play to win. Guaranteed contracts ensure the $$$$$ just keep coming in. Tito, Theo and the Trio have created a disaster at Fenway.
