They are literally the worst team in baseball right now.This team has gone from having a lot of fight to being unwatchable.

A dried turd is better than Schreiber this year.Diekman has been better than Schreiber this year
I thought he just said thatA dried turd is better than Schreiber this year.
I'll take the over. It's about to be 5 in a few minutes, and Baltimore (thanks to us rolling over for the Rays) still will have something to play for through Saturday.The Yankees are somehow going to finish 4-5 games better than this team. Just a gigantic fail.
I fully expect the new POBO to make some sort of big splash (trade, free agent signing) very quickly. If they do something that actually significantly improves the major league roster the mood of the fan base and the narrative surrounding the team will change. If they only improve around the edges and promise a brighter future by hyping prospects, i.e. more of the same, the boos may rain down in Springfield again next January.If they continue to have the fan get together in Springfield during the winter with John Henry , Kennedy etc THAT could be interesting. They got booed last time and not much has changed in the standings.
Was that the crypt keeper? Would love to see it.Francona had a unique relationship with his players. He poked fun at them, and vice versa. Francona and Pedroia were especially close. Francona thought that ESPN's John Clayton, the late, great Hall of Fame football writer, looked like Pedroia -- because they were both thin and balding. So, Tito arranged to have Clayton, pretending to be Pedroia, videotape a pep talk to the team before a big game. The whole team, including Pedroia, exploded in laughter.

They 100% will not.This team might not win 80 games. Did anyone predict that before the season?
That’s a great idea. Not sure he’d go for it, but they should certainly work to improve that relationship.Bring Francona in as an advisor.
It better be a very solid starter or a big time right handed power bat or they're going to get booed. These half measures aren't working.I fully expect the new POBO to make some sort of big splash (trade, free agent signing) very quickly.

Their magic number is 1 over the Rays for the division, or will be as soon as their game goes final (5-1 in the 8th). And if theI'll take the over. It's about to be 5 in a few minutes, and Baltimore (thanks to us rolling over for the Rays) still will have something to play for through Saturday.

Dr. Charles Steinberg let me try on his 2004, 2007, and 2013 at a season ticket holder event once. I don't care what others say, the Dentist is all right by me.I took advantage of that offer last night. You can count on at least one good thing coming out of going to a game; last night Jake Peavy was in Autograph Alley and he graciously let my daughter try on his 2013 World Series ring. Made her night.

This disappoints me. I think a change of manager is an important step in turning things around.
Yeah, all the service people at the stadium (except for the beer guys working the stands) seemed really sullen. And what's up with the food at Fenway anyway? There's nothing but crappy hot dogs and fries. It seems like they've really dialed down the effort on the food choices in recent years.Went 3 for 3 on the thread title, but at least my seats were good.
Honestly, the game sucked enough, but the concessions seemed to be in shutdown mode too which sucked. No peanuts left, no sausages left, no chicken tenders left, half the sodas were out. Saw one package of peanuts 5 feet to the left of where I was ordering and asked if I could buy those but was told I'd have to go wait in a whole new line in order to buy them. This after standing in 3 lines just to get the food promised as part of the ticket package (first line wouldn't fulfill the ticket offer, even though they had the hot dogs and soda, second line was out of hot dogs, third line finally honored the offer AND had hot dogs).
Just shit on and off the field tonight.
Maybe the focus on hot dogs was tied into the late season ticket/food packages. Or, did they just stop stocking the other food options a few weeks back?Yeah, all the service people at the stadium (except for the beer guys working the stands) seemed really sullen.

Could just mean that Cora bought season tickets.
