Never posted in this forum before.I'm terribly sorry for you Boston fans.-Cubs fan

You obviously don't know many Red Sux fans because if you did, you certainly wouldn't feel sorry for them right now. All the Red Sux haters that aren't Yankees fans don't hate the Red Sux because of their recent success. Know what I mean?

Shoulda said

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Time to update the subtitle.

Best team in baseball to not make the playoffs.

Wha , why? You been asleep the last decade in the shark pool?

FFA and SP, yes.I see some good posters over here though. May check in this post season.

This was the least likable red sox team in years. I feel bad for pedroia, ellsbury and especially wakefield who must feel like crap right now but this team just wasn't a fun group like some of the others. Hope there are some changes in next years bunch

Stolen from Twitter:

Longoria: "Red Sox just lost." Yankees catcher: "Fastball, inner half."

I hope Fin is still in rehab.

I said the same thing in the gambling thread. That's not pathetic or anything.Did I tell you guys about the time I bet the Jets on the money line against the Colts in Super Bowl III?

So how quiet is this thread going to get during the offseason?

Might as well :IBTL: it now.

I'm struggling to think of a bigger meltdown since I've really followed baseball (late 90's).

I think we all need to wait until they dont make the playoffs to call it a complete meltdown, right?

Update?

Complete meltdown.

Wow, never seen Francona like this in the postgame

Cause he probably knows this was his last game as manager of the Sox.

It's a complete travesty if he's fired. He can't control injurues. He didn't sign Crawford. He didn't sign Lackey. He can't go out and pitch.

 

[wilked]

Francona is completely safe.

Bogar is gone

Papelbon is gone

Drew is gone

Dice K won't pitch another game for the Sox

Beyond that, who knows

Someone will have to pay for this epic meltdown. You have a Boston sports radio link? I definitely want to listen in.

How about Adrian Gonzalez? Two years in a row, two major collapses.

Might happen, Sox are known to run their players out of town after putting them up on a pedestal.Wasn't long ago that I heard Paps was as good as Rivera (and prior Nomar better than Jeter)

GM's job is to get the playersManager has to use what's given to him, if you don't then you are gone.Can't keep your job after that historical epic choke job.

Who's getting run out of town? I am not sure if you realize, but Papelbon is a free agent who will command very big bucks

Not a papelbon fan but he was great all year. He pitched three innings Sunday, then last night and tonight. Guy was tired, they ran him into the ground this last week and he's getting a huge contract this offseason. Deservedly so.

Best part about the cash is it spends the same whether you believe me or not. Oh, and I DID have the Pats ML vs Rams back when they got their first ring.

No doubt, Papelbon will get paid... I am almost scared to guess what he will command

He was on fumes there

 

[the moops]

How does Crawford not make that catch?

Wow. I just watched this. That has got to be an error right? I think even Manny makes that catch.

There's the lost step the Sox overpaid for.

 

[Walton Goggins]

On the radio a Sox fan "We were projected to be the best baseball team of all time!!!"

Reporter asks Francona "Did you see Longoria's HR?"

Gold. Beyond Gold.

 

[Adebisi]

Wasn't long ago that I heard Paps was as good as Rivera (and prior Nomar better than Jeter)

Nomar was better than Jeter. And so was A-Rod and so was Tejada. I'm surprised people seriously still think otherwise.

You should've seen Papelbon just try to stare down a reporter on NESN who was trying to get him to talk about how he felt. Papelbon is a great pitcher, but he's always been a complete ###. I won't miss him.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Not a big fan of rubbing in losses like this either and besides Youkilis who I despise, I don't hate any of the Red Sux players. Maybe this will give their fans a little more humility? No random out of no where Red Sux nation #### talking when the subject at hand was good restaurants near downtown Baltimore? No more, "oh you're a Tigers fan, sorry" while I'm standing at the urinal at work? No more #### talking Orioles fans at the bar after you pound them (well not tonight, ool). They are Orioles fans, why are you talking #### to Orioles fans? Have you no shame?

 

[Raider Nation]

"The 2nd place Boston Red Sox"

(Get used to it) ...

You were right after all.

Sox fans are by far the worst fans in baseball. They MUST rip on the lesser tier teams then turn around and act like the little engine that could and have a complex with the Yanks.Great job Rays and love that I won't have to hear about the Sox at all in the postseason.

Thanks DD, win or lose it is good that fans like you can keep things in perspective. I will be cheering on the Tigers, class organization

 

[Raider Nation]

I miss Sea Bass already.But he's been through these hard times before with Bobby Doerr and Johnny Pesky.

 

[Smack Tripper]

AGON is also going to be cannibalized by the nation.

I wonder if that is part of Gods plan?

I know I've given you a lot of #### through the years, but you're the only one who has been around when this thing melted down. For that I give you a ton of credit.

I think he'll be okay. But is there any possibility whatsoever that Carl Crawford ever rebounds? He was terrible all season long, and he really should've come up with that ball at the end there.
