This isn't a ringing endorsement, but it is the truth. It would be nice if at least they were hungry. They were never going to be hungry with a sleepy, diaper wearing octogenarian who didn't have his blanky(Dave Duncan). He was every bit of an embarrassment as Terry Bevington was.



They were plagued by injuries during LaRussa's first season and they were arguably still the best team in the AL.

Whatever your position on LaRussa, that should be enough to convince you that managers are not significant enough to warrant anywhere near as much conversation as they do.

Well he was going to make them play old half white guy baseball and take the joy out of the game for all the Latino players. Thats reason enough to not like him.

Can we cut the racial angle on TLR? Leave that to people on the Score. The guy was sleeping in the dugout. The team played poorly. Maybe it's not his fault, but race has nothing to without accept for losers like Bernstein who are obsessed about such things.

I’ve rage slept through a game or too, so I get it.

People should be angrier at Hahn and Kenny. The perception the Sox should be better than .500 seems to be a result of overconfidence in the young guys who might not be good.

Here's our only immediate hope. That Grifol is some kind of genius(he's worked in all areas of baseball) and snatches Tom Kelly-like power from the golf carter and the DH drafter. Do you wanna be piranhas? I wanna be piranhas.

I'm going to tell you why the prevailing theory is that managers mean nothing. Because 95% of them suck. There's no baseline to judge them on. I can name one great innovative manager in my lifetime. That's it. One.

God this team is just the worst to watch. Burger not running out of the box on a ball down the 3rd base line to end the inning. Giolito hits the first batter to start the next inning then gives up a moon shot to the next batter. First game I’ve tuned into in over a week and I’m sorry I did.

My name is Lucas
The bases are a revolving door
I pitch upstairs to you
Yes, I think you've seen me get rocked before

If you hit a homer late at night
I’m in trouble, ain’t got no fight

They won't do it, but they need to blow this team up starting with Kenny and Rick.

Yeah, Hahn thought he was clever by locking up these guys early, and it appears that they all suck and/or are china dolls.

How many of the current roster will still be here in 2.5 more years?

Less than half of the current 26-man will be here by the end of the 2025 trade deadline.

Its more the smarminess of “ omg why are you upset that theyre bad !! its only 2 years into the rebuild !!” to “ Omg why are you upset , nothing was promised !!! ,( shrug ) thats baseball “ that Stone exhibits as if fans are the wrong ones for expecting the team to deliver .

They put up a heck of a fight, or a decent fight, in most of the innings of the first two games.

No more black jerseys
