Right back where we started

Doug:
So that was a train wreck.

 

---

Mike:
Well, more like a rerun of a made-for-TV movie about a train wreck.

 

---

Mike:
I mean it's not like you didn't already know the wreck was coming.

 

---

Mike:
BP now puts the odds of making that playoffs at 4%.

 

---

Doug:
Time for the fiah sale.

 

---

Mike:
Yeah, but the problem with being a sellah is the reason you're a sellah is cuz you're in the cellah with a rostah that put you in the cellah.

 

---

Mike:
I mean, look, there's a reason not a single member of the defending champion Red Sox earned an place on the All Stah Rostah via the fan or playah voting.

 

---

Mike:
And aftah you remove the untouchables like Pedroia and Ortiz...

 

---

Doug:
Trade Lestah and resign him at the end of season.

 

---

Mike:
Where the fuck is that optimism coming from?

 

---

Doug:
The fat spliff is half unsmoked.

Welcome back, hb. 2013 was the anomaly, this mess is the real Boston Red Sox. Renting Lester out has a major downside. He may like where he ends up. Worse, the likelihood he follows Ruth, Ellsbury, (dare I go on?)and so many others to the dark side.

[Harwich Rich]

From worst to first...to worst

They are just setting up another "most improved" award for next year.

So, you're saying there's a chance?

wb,hb.

Well at least hb is back. That is something fun to yak about.

[Chops]

If the Sox get any worse, they're going to trade Uehara and Hart Brachen for prospects and a blog to be named later.

What were the chances of success when I said, "You know what would make summer Fridays even better? Getting out at 1:00."?

What were the chances of success when Reagan said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."?

What were the chances of success when the Professor said, "I can make a radio-telephone out of these coconuts and Ginger's IUD."?

I'll tell you what the chances were: Precisely 4%.

Welcome back, HB.

[Steven in MD]

Damn, we lost 5 of 6, and STILL lost ground to the Astros in the Riley Ferrell sweepstakes.

[ponch]

Welcome back, HB. Hope it was a good one with no MLB access.

I am rather content, as the butler left his recliner on. Wonderful. He is rather bitchy and lined up a movie for his entertainment, grumbling "This team is a f*****g waste of time" He is watching an old, old film with "Bogie". I am certain that isn't "Agent X", the non hitting infield stiff that the sawx play far too often.

"High Sierra", dopey cat. Now, THAT makes him as angry as I am. no. Emi looks confused, bless her.

Couldn't even get the first self-serve beer stations... http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11185913/mlb-all-star-game-feature-self-serve-beer-machines... note the last line re the "Hangover Burger" -- two hamburger patties with bacon, American cheese and a fried egg with mayo, ketchup and sriracha.

Roy Earle is a lot like the Sox. He just can't get things right. My boss is looking VERY smug right now.
