9/1 vs. the Royals. I'm so excited.

I would like to apologize for anything good I ever said about this team, and any time I ever showed excitement for it.

Remember when Brandon Walter was untradeable at the 2021 deadline? Secret high riser? Or was it the 2022 deadline?
You can't trade the prospects and you can't promote them because they suck. Schrodingering's prospect system.

BUT 2024's promotions will solve it all. If not, then 2025 is right there!

And just like that the Royals have scored more runs tonight than in any game they have played this season -- and by far the greatest margin of victory. Great effort, Sox!

Most embarrassing game of the season, right? Just getting absolutely demolished by the godawful Royals, looking totally lifeless against a guy with a mid 6 era coming in.

Football season is a week away. The team completed their mission in my books.

This is two years running where it's been the Royals who have extinguished the slightest whiff of optimism about the Red Sox.

Beat me to it, and they still have two more innings in which to hit.

They are SO bad that my feelings of utter disgust have turned into astonishment. I mean, they are astonishingly, spectacularly bad. And thats something.

Absolutely yes. Sadly, this is probably not the bottom.

Yeah, DOB, there aren't any more "big series" this season.

This team has clearly shown Bloom has not (yet) built a sustainable pitching staff for a full major league season. Is his seat any hotter after this week of games?

No way. They need to make the playoffs next year. But they would never do anything right now. It would be crazy.

Is it 2039 yet? If not, we need to give the farm some time. You can't expect prospects to take less than two decades to develop.

Maybe his big long conversation with Verdugo the other day was asking Dugie to be a starter this month.

ALRIGHT! Not so much the homer but that we get to see Raffy Jr bat again

The ump squeezed Lyles. He came a millimeter from having a start better than any Red Sox has had all year. Which is shocking. He sucks.
