Pitching coach: "Hey John, don't you think we should have someone warming up?"
Farrell: "Oh right, forgot. Oh well, not a big deal. I'll just call down now, and we'll have plenty of time for someone to get rea..."

The worst is watching Farrell manage under NL rules. He runs out of bench players by the 7th inning.

I don't think Farrell was the problem last night. Price was rolling through the 7th inning and had thrown less than 100 pitches. The wheels came off very fast in the 8th.

Hem and haw all you want about the manager. Ain't nobody saving yo' Sawx from the buzz saw that is the Seattle Mariners.

Im still down to fire farrell. it's pretty much an open conversation that he can't in-game manage.

I honestly think they would have somewhere like 5-7 more wins if he hadn't been the manager.

Playing Ortiz at 1B is a horrible idea and Farrell is the only person that doesn't see it.

Yeah when he can't play games in September this is going to be why. It's ridiculous that they're even trying it.

If Ortiz's big farewell is ruined by this I want Farrell hanged.

I need to decide which game I want to go to in September.

Edit: just bought a pair to sept 14 against the Orioles.

I see what you did there.

Current mood:

World Series back on.

This bump reminded me to see if the Sox were going to be on national TV soon. Given what's going on tonight, thanks for the reminder!

In my old age, my mind is really going: I could've sworn up and down that David Ortiz had one MVP award, either from 2005 and 2006. Did anyone else misremember this?
