I don't feel good about the 2026 Red Sox after last night's unwatchable shitshow, but I'm also not going to write a eulogy until they actually die.

During player introductions, members of the Red Sox starting lineup are being showered with boos -- as expected. Willson Contreras, much as he did at the HR Derby this year in Philadelphia, cupped both of his ears to egg on the crowd.

As someone who still listens to a lot of radio, I am decidedly not looking forward to the Macklemore resurgence but make no mistake, getting kicked off the Ed Sheeran tour is going to be the best thing for his career since "Thrift Shop."

I remember being in seventh grade science class when the news of the planes hitting the towers came out. Two of my friends were called to the principal's office. Their fathers were both travelling that day. The first one came back a few minutes later.

I love that the Red Sox just brought up a random guy they found in the Mexican League and he threw three scoreless innings and got a save.

Any time I see a big-name player allegedly available at the deadline that isn't a free agent at the end of the season, I assume they aren't really available, their team is just willing to move them if it means getting an offer so stupid they have no choice but to say yes.

The average person in my Twitter replies isn't wrong because they reached the wrong conclusion. They're wrong because they don't understand baseball well enough to even identify the question.

A modern-day Forest Gump remake would 100% have him rescuing people on 9/11, capturing Saddam Hussein by accident, unknowingly causing Steve Bartman to doom the Cubs, and what else?

There's absolutely nothing Brayan Bello could say right now that would appease people, so I'm glad he's at least being honest and crashing out instead of reciting PR-approved clichés.

In 2019, MLB started to allow private equity firms to own partial minority stakes in franchises. The Red Sox were among the first teams to take on these investors. No coincidence that this is where things really started to change. @joon.bsky.social's explanation makes a lot of sense.

This is my ideal lineup for this Red Sox roster atm. No, I do not expect it to happen. 1. Masataka Yoshida- DH 2. Willson Contreras- 1B 3. Roman Anthony- LF 4. Wilyer Abreu- RF 5. Ceddanne Rafaela- CF 6. Marcelo Mayer- SS 7. Carlos Narvaez- C 8. Trevor Story- 2B 9. Caleb Durban- 3B

Retrospectively, it makes sense that Craig Breslow had such a lengthy MLB career with some very good seasons despite not having particularly good stuff. Dude's an absolute sociopath. Those guys make for the best relief pitchers.

First time in a while, my frustration has bubbled up to this extent. My distain for Craig Breslow has reached a new high as we see what happens when a roster needs someone to get hurt to function correctly beyondthemonster.substack.com/p/a-roster-b...

Don't think Cora is the right manager for this team anymore, but hard not to feel for him given the roster is basically built to require an injury to one of your regulars to function properly.
