After 4 1/2 the score is 0-0. The anemic hitting continues.
2025 Red Sox and MLB Thread
- Thread starter Deus Irae
- Start date
2-2 in the 7th, but this team really needs to solve this hitting problem.
And they drop another game to the White Sox. The fucking White Sox.
Sox vs Rays: Sox go 3 up and 3 down, Rays get 1 pitch now lead 1-0.
5-0 after 2. Sigh.......
Houck getting lit up 6-1 in the 3rd men on 1st and 3rd, 1 out.
After 8 and a 1/2, Sox down 15-1. Can they score 2 touchdowns in the ninth?
Fuck.
Fuck.
Final score in this seat squirmer, 16-1.
Sox lose a close one.
Sox lose a close one.
This team should have traded away both Story and Yoshida before the season began, even if it meant eating money. If they'd done that, people would be fine with a long adjustment period. But this nonsense is not going to sit well with the fans when 2 of the 3 phenoms are still down in Triple A.
The Elevator is heading to the basement… fast
