    So....who is the new GM/head of baseball ops?

    An internal candidate makes way more sense given how they've positioned this. Someone from outside the org coming in just to keep the seat warm for AC seems like a hard sell.

    10/1 A Full Circle Mea Culpa or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace the Offseason

    I resent teams that are intentionally bad forever when they get good. The Orioles and Asstros did this. The Rays are just a demonic entity and always have been.

    They should retire 49, HOF be damned. If Pesky is up there, Wake should be too.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    I don't even know what to say. This guy had been on/around the team the entire time I've been old enough to know what's going on with the Sox. He IS the Red Sox.

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    They no longer have either of those players so... I don't get your point.

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    Whos playing center for this team exactly? 40 year old Al Horford and a guy who averages 50 games a season?

    10/1 A Full Circle Mea Culpa or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace the Offseason

    Thank god the Yankees are down here in the fucking mud with us. Fuck the Orioles, Asstros and the Rays. I will pull for any other team over these 3 bottom feeding franchises.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    I have seen more Wakefield starts than any other pitcher by a factor of probably 20. This news is a gut punch and Curt Schilling is a human skid mark.

    Tito Francona Appreciation Thread

    View: https://twitter.com/MandyBell02/status/1707194348792643913 The Red Sox should've let this guy stay in the job so long that he was being Weekend at Bernies'd before he got the sack.

    Will Cora be back in ‘24?

    I am also here. If he stays, fine but he's at the end of his leash. If he goes, that's also completely warranted at this point.

    9/17 We don't need a game thread ...

    so... golden or platinum sombrero for him today? or maybe even the Horn.

    What was Bloom's best acquisition?

    I would argue they already spent on a 2B. Our now-fired Mr. Bloom, in his infinite wisdom, still believes he can play shortstop though.

    The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom

    Now hire the witch doctor who actually pumps out all the Rays pitching

    Bloom, Cora -- Do they stay or do they go?

    The bad defense and bad base running is absolutely a coaching issue and one Cora bears responsibility for IMO. Managers can't turn Derek Jeter into Ozzie Smith but they should be able to drill out the kind of stupid baseball we've been subjected to the last 2 seasons.

    Bloom, Cora -- Do they stay or do they go?

    I think Cora is done. He sounds like a defeated man. I have no confidence whatsoever that Bloom will be fired despite deserving it.

    Recalibrating

    They should lose out for a better draft pick.
