The Official Boston Red Sox Thread

[Toujours Pret]

It's a bad mindset.

You know who I blame? The fans. They wanted more and more. They forgot how sucky their past had been and wanted to be the Yankees.

Anyone over 30 has an interior hatred of the new "Fans".

Yes. Boston and everything about it was pretty damn magical in 2004 and for a bit after. They lost that.

 

[Toujours Pret]

The only thing better than losing by 3 touchdowns is having 2 players have to be seperated in the dugout the next night. It's freaking terrible, but might as well enjoy the show.

Just amazing how quick everything went downhill.

Didn't Jimmy Fallon teach you anything? This, too, shall pass. You've got a whole meme series about it!

Lester's yellow clown shoes are helping him channel his inner John Wasdin. Ridiculous.

How old and bitter are you?

Middle aged and not very.

It's only been one year, but they need to clean house.

They need to trade everyone and put money in their farm system again. Just scrap it and restart.

They took the first step two weeks ago. A ton of money saved and two legitimate prospects. Just hope they don't go throwing around a lot of cash this winter.

I agree w/ this.

I would love to see us bring John Farrell in as manager. JMO.

No baseball manager is worth giving up players for.

I sure wish we could still trot Youkilis out there every day. Guy is absolutely KILLING the ball.

Fox says FSG has sent out feelers to potential buyers. Of course, FSG denies it.

I don't see these as the type of things that are just unfounded scuttlebutt.

I may be a masochist, but I'm interested to see if Lackey has #3 stuff out of the gate next season.

No denying that the potential for a solid rotation is going to be there again, with Lester hopefully having a bounce back year and Buchholz returning. But as long as John Lackey is prominently involved I will have zero positive expectations.

Red Sox lost their 90th game today, locks them in for a top 10 pick in the 2013 draft.

Pedroia demanded to be in the lineup tonight despite having a broke finger on his left hand. He said that he didn't want to go out sitting on the bench & that he wanted to send a message to all the young guys & teammates that there should be no quit no matter what.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

And, Valentine is out.

What a trainwreck that was.

Also didn't stop ESPN from slurping hard on the Red Sox. If your team isn't the Yanks or the Sox. They don't care.
