GAME #143, TAMPA BAY RAYS AT BOSTON RED SOX

[ojdidit]

There are different levels of looking bad and this year's team seems to have the ability to be on the very lowest end of the bad scale.  You get the impression early on in games that they are out of synch and it will be a long night.

Not a good lineup order.  Fred, batting Bogaerts in the 1 spot was indeed a dumb move by Farrell.

IPOT, Farrell leads the Majors in dumb moves.  It is in his DNA.  They're trying to do anything to get the guy going, but he is not going to get going.  He is deteriorating at an alarming rate and will never be the middle of the order hitter they were predicting for him three years ago.  In fact, his very presence in the lineup is a  total detriment to our team.  While he has some attraction, the club must get rid of him after this season.

Rick, lack of leadership, lack of will, lack of responsibility, willingness to shove commitment on to someone else.  And we all know who is responsible for this becoming a very unlikable and sometimes hateful team.......Pukegaerts, Ramirez and Betts.  No heart, no balls, no guts.  Sad to say, this is our team unless someone steps up and take the bull by the horns.  That is why  that stupid bastard Farrell must keep Pedroia in that lineup and get Nunez ready to get back in that lineup.  Without those two we are dead on arrival.
