Not boldly going

Bill:
23 games out of first place.

 

---

Bill:
90 losses (and counting).

 

---

Bill:
The worst Red Sox record since France left NATO and Star Trek premiered on network TV.

 

---

Mike:
Somewhat fitting on the latter since this team pretty much looks like they've had all the salt sucked out of their system.

 

---

Bill:
Red shirt. Red Sox. Imminent death. Coincidence? I think not.

The monster assumed Nancy Crater's identity. Fitting for a team of Nancys.

[Natalie]

Wait, the baseball season is still going on? Huh. Hadn't noticed.

[soxinsix]

Live long and prosper Roberto Veet....somewhere else!

[Scott]

This team has a chance to stick it to the Skanks and make them play the wildcard play-in game or possibly a tie breaker for the AL East. I haven't cheered for them in a while but will do so for the last 3 games.

[yazbread]

But Dice-K pitches on Wednesday. Sort of like Kevin Brown going in Game 7 in 2004.

[Jeff in NC]

Harcourt Fenton Mudd. How did he get off planet and end up managing the red shirts?

[Natalie]

Wait, were we all aware that Francona is writing a tell-all book about the Sox with the fucking CHB? There are like 8 things wrong with that sentence. I can't... I just... I mean.... Fuuuuuuck.

[soxinsix]

That's news to me Natalie. Utterly depressing, disturbing news...

[Jeff in NC]

Agreed Natalie. That would suck. But given the massive enema the team has been having for the past year, he is the one who has eaten a lot but thrown almost none. Not entirely surprising if he feels the need to add his to the mess. Disappointing, but not surprising.

[Chip]

They are so bad that a total rebuild with rookies and a 2013 top draft pick, may cause ownership to keep Booby V in place to take the heat for another crappy season and to "work with the youngsters".
p.s. Gonzalez hitting .291 & Beckett with a 2.93 era in six starts. Ouch.

[COD]

If it wasn't for this creepy site I wouldn't know they've lost 90 games. Patriots had me worried for a bit too yesterday - turned it on to find them down 21-7 to the fucking Bills. But Brady fixed that.

[buckner was framed]

whole new meaning to the dreaded "Deep Space Nine"

[Kaz]

Francona is also interviewing to coach the Cleveland Indians.

[yazbread]

There was a time in the 60s when Roger C. Carmel seemed to be everywhere on TV.

If you want to feel good about baseball for a minute - Chipper Jones played his last regular season home game in Atlanta yesterday. A 19 year career all with the same team and a guaranteed first ballot election to the Hall of Fame in a few years. I was there for one of his first games in Atlanta.

Davey Johnson, Buck Showalter & the Veets.

All 3 were looking to resurrect managerial careers.

Two going boldly on, the other hopefully getting his red shirt demise. Wonder how DJ and BS would have done with this year's team. I think BS would have the same result. DJ - not so sure.

[pablo in nh]

Anyone else fuming about what BV did to the Ryder Cup team?

[soxdownunder]

On a brighter note, on the other side of the world, Sydney won the AFL Premiership. Sure it's not Collingwood and I know this is basically a Collinwood blog but they are the 9 year old sox fan's second team and mine too. It was a cracker of a game, and I have't posted photographs here for a while so here you go:

Congrats, SDU et fils! At least someone has something to cheer about (well besides us Patriot fans...)

Great photos!

Rob

Now we have a rally cry for next year: Win for McGlynn!

Thanks, SDU.
