What a bad deal for Blake and the team.
Get healthy kid.

Good win, thank you Porcello.
Weird ending, just never easy with this team.

This whole situation bothers me. Blake deserved better.
Get healthy kid.

And there's prima donna Russell Westbrook signing a 3 year extension in OKC, which in my mind means the only viable star player we can target in the trade market, or even in free agency next year, is boogie cousins (I know he's not a free agent, but if Sacramento wants to max out his value, they should deal him this year and the way they've drafted the last 2 years makes it seem like they're gearing up to do so). Unless Durant reopens the bidding after this season, Chris Paul is aging and I'd rather have IT cheap and flexibility, griffin isn't really a good complement to horford, not sure what the Bulls are doing with butler but they don't look like they're planning on dealing him, and I can't really think of anyone else that is a legit target The problem with this thinking is IT will only be cheap for 1 more year after CP is a FA. Then he's going to get paid, along with Smart and Bradley. Boston's key flexibility will be gone (besides Jae). Paul turns 32 in May, but he's still a top 10 player in the league, maybe top 5. I'd sign him without hesitation.

I just threw up. He's going to pitch, what like 25 more innings max at this point? He's gonna strike out under 6.5 per nine and walk more than 3 per nine and give up a homer per nine at least. Pass pass pass. Going into next season he shouldn't be anywhere on any depth chart. The top 4 are pretty set with Price, Pomeranz, Porcello and Wright. The fifth spot should be able to be handled by some combo of Rodriguez, Owens, Johnson and/or one of any fifty FA or trade targets before they contemplate bringing Buchholz back at 13 million. Right now Rodriguez looks like a better bet for the front 4 than does Pomeranz Wright. Fixed.

Went to bed in the 7th. Woke up and watched the highlights this morning. Deleted the ESPN app from my phone.

I'm ok with him platooning for the immediate future, but he should be full time before the season ends.

ERod throwing his slider more sure seems to help.
Winning is fun!

God forbid we actually criticize the players or the team. If they lose it's always the manager's fault, even when it really isn't. Some losses this year have been on Farrell. Tonight wasn't one of them. God forbid we get rid of a terrible manager, whether that loss was his fault or not. This isn't just one game. It's 2.5 seasons. I'm with you. Not every loss is directly his fault but he stinks. Also, the offensive production was clearly not good enough against that pitcher last night. Tough game.

Of the 4 guys you listed, Young and Bentil shouldn't be considered anything right now. Mickey has some potential, but not sure he has much value to other teams. Who knows with Jackson, but he likely won't get any minutes with Boston for as long as he's around.

Carlos Beltran could be an option at DH. On a 1yr deal. Especially, if Yanks deal him. Doubtful new team would give him a qualifying offer. If he's traded in season, he cannot be offered a QO.

The score should be much worse right now. Fortunate to still be within a run.

Yeah it's fine and probably the "safest" route to go. I've thought this next off-season is the make or break period. Thomas/Bradley/Smart will all be on their last year of a cheap contract, so they basically have to sign or trade for at least one superstar and likely two, if they're going to be serious contenders. I think they get someone to sign: Chris Paul, Blake, RWB, Durant, Lowry, Hayward, Ibaka, etc And think they trade for someone: Middleton, Butler, Cousins, etc (the usual and unusual names)

The phrase: "THIS TEAM" could be used to describe the current year. In every way. They're maddening. They're wonderful. They're consistently inconsistent. What a strange season.

Clay was one of my favorite prospects coming through the minors -- had a devastating combo of pitches. I feel bad he couldn't stay healthy, but he's likely completely cooked at this point.

I live in an area surrounded by Cubs fans.
Forever passing on them winning a WS. Would be like Notre Dame winning something in football. Gross.
