Flush It and Get Over It!

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Didn’t see that coming at all. Fuck.

 

[Sox and Rocks]

Wong must have had a few drinks before the game.

We all need drinks before a Sox game

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Well I guess Martin is toast

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That ball should show movies and serve meals, at least in first class

 

[LogansDad]

I do love going to Martin now, though.

I changed my mind.

 

[patinorange]

LOL

 

[Murby]

My goodness. Woof.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Just a bad team. Gonna be a long season.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Motherfucker.

 

[ngruz25]

Oh, rest of career Chris Martin showed up this year.

 

[barclay]

An absolutely remarkable meltdown, even by Sox standards

 

[staz]

Suboptimal.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Folks, I had no magic. Sorry.
What a nightmare.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Shocking

 

[budcrew08]

This is why Baltimore will win 95 games and we will win 78 again.

 

[AB in DC]

3 wild pitches.

MASN says that Martin only had 1 WP all last year.

 

[Sox and Rocks]

How many two out runs have we given up this series?

 

[moonshotmanny]

And there we go. That team coming back with a lot of runs in the late innings.

 

[scotian1]

And he is perhaps our most reliable reliever. It is a nightmare.

 

[Salem's Lot]

The defense

They just don’t have enough good baseball players. They have a couple of guys that can hit a little, but those guys can’t field.

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

This is suddenly turning into a very long season.

 

[patinorange]

Wong, the last guy left from the Mookie trade.

 

[budcrew08]

Calling it now: Martin on the IL with a bum forearm

 

[Beomoose]

What in the living fuck is happening?

Full throttle

 

[LogansDad]

Good to know we are just going to leave Martin in to blow his elbow out.

 

[Harry Hooper]

An absolutely remarkable meltdown, even by Sox standards

Ran out of luck with all the fat pitches tossed up there tonight.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Of course Martin is going to turn into a pumpkin. I was looking at getting a haul for him at the deadline. I’m sure his elbow is fucked.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Get an early start posting to this thread:

[donutogre]

We still suck.

 

[AB in DC]

Well I guess Martin is toast

He's turning 38 in a couple months. Relievers don't generally have consecutive great years at age 37 and 38.

 

[BaseballJones]

I’m at Fenway tonight. This was a fun game for five innings.

 

[mikeford]

65 wins is on the table

 

[Salem's Lot]

This is why Baltimore will win 95 games and we will win 78 again.

I’ll take 78. I picked them to win 69.

 

[twibnotes]

They just don’t have enough good baseball players. They have a couple of guys that can hit a little, but those guys can’t field.

This is our problem. We suck.

I'll never understand the Bloom era as it relates to defense - it seriously seems like early Moneyball thinking before everyone figured out OBP mattered...but without the OBP

 

[pokey_reese]

I had talked myself into this team being good!

 

[mauf]

Folks, I had no magic. Sorry.
What a nightmare.

Still glad to have you back.

It’s my fault, folks. I went downstairs to do a couple chores after they went up 5-0.

 

[staz]

Maybe Martin just needs his feet washed?

 

[Rovin Romine]

If anyone else happens to enjoy nerdy wordplay, here's a poem about Fenway Park that uses each of the 100 Scrabble tiles exactly once (including the two blanks).

If I go up
to Fenway Park,
I'm relaxed / riveted
in equal measure,
joining a tribe
to cheer, to bond
as hazel clouds
give way to sun.

Blanks: E, U

E.U.Blanks would be a great pen name.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Numerous runs please.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

I had talked myself into this team being good!

I knew better.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

A lefty reliever. This should go well.

 

[moonshotmanny]

We will always have the West Coast trip.

 

[Harry Hooper]

I had talked myself into this team being good!

You should go into Sales as a career.

 

[Salem's Lot]

This is our problem. We suck.

Bloom just couldn’t evaluate major league talent. He set the organization back several years. It’s really not fair to ask Breslow to turn this around in one offseason. Especially when ownership refuses to add payroll this year.

 

[scotian1]

We are still enjoying the fruits of Bloom's reign.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

This ump is horrible

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

The bullpen was projected to be terrible. If it is, then this team is kind of screwed.

 

[JOBU]

Didn’t see that coming at all. Fuck.

Well then you’re blind.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

This team is a tad vulnerable against LH relievers

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This ump is horrible

But so, so aptly named.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Devers ties it up here.
