Mets DFA’d Duke Ellis. He’ll be back.

Mendick already warming up in the pen.

Robert is overrated because of the durability issue. They should package him with Fedde or Crochet and get what they can get.

More Alyssa. Less our booth.

What’s Happenin’

5 of 15 was perfect except they don’t need divisions. And the one game knockout with the 4 and 5 seeds is ok too. There are too many teams playing for the middle now, and why shouldn’t they? You actually have a shot. But does it make MLB or the postseason better? I don’t think so.

31-51 the rest of the way actually sounds good for this team. That’s how bad it is. Never going to happen though.

It’s been a blessing that he’s been a big leaguer, and they don’t have to rush Montgomery. And based on the numbers, Colson can stay down all year for all I care. Maybe a September call up if he gets it together and DeJong is traded too.

Thanks Woo for getting scratched.

He’s enjoyable to watch pitch. He’ll have a few stinkers, but the days he’s on, it’s going to be 7-8 innings.

What an inexcusable loss. Kopech and Grifol can both f*** off.

Will be a good day when he’s gone.

This is early 90s McDowell/Big Unit. (not really)

Back to losing today so we can say they’re 2-19 in last 21.

And we beat the Red Sox 14-2 in game 1 of the 2005 ALDS. Basically the last time we had a chance of winning a ring…and did, thankfully.

Tomorrow really is a perfect day to fire Grifol. Friday news dump/ Crochet on the mound. I say go for it!!

Something fitting about #0.

Mark me down as one who doesn’t care if the Sox trade Robert. He’s currently on a 120-loss pace team. If they want to get bodies from other teams for Robert or Crochet, go for it. Chances are we’re bad until ownership changes anyway.

If you’re a season ticket holder, I hope at this point you go because you like the atmosphere of a baseball game, and not for the people in the uniforms. The Sox rebuild failed. Crochet is another injury waiting to happen. Robert gets hurt every year too. They are better fits for teams that are close and they can dream on them being available in September and October for a run. The Sox need a massive amount of prospects and then try to emulate what the O’s are doing now. If the deals are right, they have to move them. 120 losses? 125? Abysmal is abysmal.

Duke is the son of Robert Ellis, pitcher drafted by the Sox in 1990 and eventually made it to the bigs and got a ring with the 01 Diamondbacks.

Just to be clear, the 1967 team (a good team), lost the last 5, and the 1968 team started 0-10. I look at the 13 as the team record. I will be rooting for the Red Sox tomorrow if Grifol is managing. He deserves to wear this record.

Ellis- Sox debut #28 this season. A new franchise record, with 100 games left.

If the Tigers can send down Torkelson, then… you know the rest.

That’s 76-146 for those scoring at home.

Tommy Pham postgame was hilarious. I’d actually like to see someone throw the first punch on him, and see how that turns out for the other guy.
