We have the game on local TV tonight but I will NOT be watching.  Why get totally frustrated and aggravated  watching this recurring shit show anymore.  We have a 10% chance of winning tonight, if even that .

[Sea Dog 23]

I see five in the lineup are at the end of their contracts and moving on, I’m including Bogey. Two others should be traded or DFA’d. That ads to their less than want-to spirit.  But those were the contracts they were given.  Lots of new faces next year, hopefully other than Cora and Bloom as Fred suggests.

I’d imagine Bogey will get a QO.

[longgame]

A lot of guys making a good case to move on from this alignment. 

Even though they are threatening now, it’s got to be tough to go down early pretty much every night.

[markj]

Not even warning track power for JD tonight.

[markj]

Crawful loads the bases on two outs and then Dalbec misses a pop foul that he should have had. It's like they're trying to lose.

[MongoLikeSox]

Didn't Crawford have a 1-7 curve that was doing so well instead of that hanging slurve crap this staff keeps getting burned on?

And remember when the Red Sox used to hit like Vlad? Man, that seems like a whole generation ago.

[markj]

Stop the presses! Duran got a clutch hit!!

[MongoLikeSox]

Thank goodness Guriel was playing deep-Short.

So who in the hell has Millar been watching out in LF? Wasn't the same Pham we've been watching.

[markj]

JD with a GIDP. Par for the course these days.

[markj]

McGuire gets a triple with no outs. Dalbec K's, of course. Now Duran gets HBP. Here comes the GIDP to end the threat.

[elktonnick]

Why did Cora have Kike pinch run for McGuire? It would have made more sense to have him pinch hit for Dalbec.

[markj]

I was wrong. No GIDP. They're still trying to blow this chance, though.

[elktonnick]

Man on 3rd no outs and Sox can not score.  Cora's lack of imagination is stunning.

[elktonnick]

Clutch situation Bogey up.ugh
