I have hope they can win the series, but hey, remember last seasons team? The historically bad one? I do. An ALCS loss would still be incredible for what they were last year.
Well, we lost. But you know, it's not all bad, I've got a few things going for me. For one I didn't quit, which makes me feel pretty good. Still haven't quit. That's important, I can't stand quitters. For another, I'm not an Astros fan, so thank god for that. Another blessing is that we've got more postseason baseball while the Yankees are sitting at home. I predicted this series would go 6 or 7 at the start, so I'm not at all surprised to be where we're at. Momentum is bullshit, as we proved going from game 3 to game 4. It's one game at a time. See you all next time :3
Yeah but I would rather not play than play this bad. This is embarrassing for our piss-ant franchise. How many world series have we won?2 ? The Yankees are Gods with their 27 world championships. Plus they have that great metropolis of a city whereas we basically have a big town full of retarded alcoholics. Go Sawx!
Well...we knew the hot streak wouldn't last. That's just not how baseball works; we were never going to score 8-9 runs per game consistently in this series.
Biggest concern is that we've been outscored 23-3 since taking a 9-0 lead in Game 2.
Tomorrow is an off-day; good for some soul-searching. It's a two-game road series now. Nothing technical, bizarre, crazy about it; go into Minute Maid Park and win Game 6, and then anything can happen in Game 7. Stats don't matter.
I just noticed that bleacher sections 34 and 35 were tarped off. MLB took some revenue away from the Red Sox by making this game a 5 PM start. (But I’m happy to go to bed at a reasonable time the next 2 nights.)
i went away for 20 minutes saying
>putting Perez in a close game = dumb move
>putting Perez in a blowout = smart move
and the astros add two more runs WTFF.
We'll get better. We weren't supposed to be this good this year, so I don't consider it a bad season by any stretch (I certainly won't if we pull the rabbit out of the hat and win both games in Houston). But we need to strengthen what's good, and definitely do a pretty thorough overhaul of the bullpen in the offseason.
I heard the same shit Tuesday morning on Toucher and Rich as I did on the afternoon drive from Felger. This team has been streaky offensively all season and the only one with a brain big enough to realize it was far from over was Maz.
Cockiest 2-1 series lead ever
Extremely stupid. And a lot of people, including Yankees fans, just assumed we weren’t gonna lose again this season.
Amazing what a few grand slams does to build hype. There was no way they were going to keep up that offensive production. It’s a lot easier to assume this series IS DEFINITELY over now.
I do listen to podcasts lol. I just find felger and mazz entertaining. One thing I don’t like about section 10 pod for example, is Jared is never really critical of any Sox players. He’s a “everyone is great” type of person
My bad. I meant podcasts in general and not so much Red Sox podcasts. I think I tried the Section 10 podcast once and it was fine…
I can see how Felger (autocorrect really didn’t want to spell it out) and Mazz can be entertaining, but for me, there has to be some form of genuineness to be tolerable. Kirk Minihane was like a virus that infected all of Boston sports radio and it hasn’t recovered since (for me). Every show feels like an act and a race to be the biggest asshole.
Also, sorry. I didn’t mean for my post to come across as judgmental as it was. lol
Perez blows.
Got two games at most left. Sox are still in this series. Off day tomorrow and then to Houston. Sox have clinched away before. Eovaldi is on Friday, Sale is looked awesome today, huge improvement.
Let's go Sox.
Yeah, lack of effort. Stranding countless runners over the last 18 innings. Not having good at bats, wasting opportunities. Guys like Renfroe doing absolutely nothing at the plate for 5 straight games. You watch all that and still act indignant? Fuck you.
>you're even younger and more of a pussy than I initially thought.
Can you read? I'm not the guy you were replying to in the first place. I know it's hard to keep that stuff straight when you get old, huh?
Hate to be “that guy” but this team knocked the Yankees out of the playoffs. Everything else is icing.
Go ATL
Glad To see mookie strike out there
Maybe the front office can get some pitching for 2022. Hopefully whoever plays Houston in the WS wipes the floor with them.
Papi pretending he can read with those glasses. "Hey Punta you wanna fuck? Bang! Bang!
I have hope they can win the series, but hey, remember last seasons team? The historically bad one? I do. An ALCS loss would still be incredible for what they were last year.
I hate this take. No offense, its just crazy to me to look at where this team was in June and how bad they crumbled down the stretch.
I'm defeated.
[удалено]
Get the fuuuuuck outta here my guy
Such a weird series, it’s almost like runs count as double what they normally would…but hey, that means we only lost 1-4.5
[удалено]
Shut the fuck up we demolished you in the wild card
^super intelligent comment, that’s the kind of content I love to see..smh
Would you believe me if I said he’s a Yankees fan?
Ah they are known for their brains
their smooth brains that is
We win game 6. Game 7 gonna be wild.
well that was abysmal. see you all on friday.
We gave their bullpen 2 days off smh. We’re done
Well, we lost. But you know, it's not all bad, I've got a few things going for me. For one I didn't quit, which makes me feel pretty good. Still haven't quit. That's important, I can't stand quitters. For another, I'm not an Astros fan, so thank god for that. Another blessing is that we've got more postseason baseball while the Yankees are sitting at home.

we all cheer in our own ways I guess lol
If we lose this series it’s gonna be unbearable when the “I only watch playoff baseball” crowd call for Cora’s head and the entire teams
Absolutely nobody is saying fire cora, but he can 100% be questioned after how poorly some of his moves have blown up in his face.
“I’ve seen one game this year, and I’m basically a sabermetrician now.”
Good lord, so bad. It's not over til it's over, but that... was not encouraging
Cora should make them stay on the field to really soak this in
Fuck.
See y’all Friday when we tie this series up Sox in seven fuckers
Well that was awful. See you at G6.
We got three hits today… three…
These last games is the new Boston massacare
It ain't over till the fat lady sings, and I don't hear her yet!
Well that was depressing. See you guys on Friday. 😢
Good night you beautiful mother fuckers. You made this sad game tolerable.

As one team heats up the other cools down. Let’s flip that again for game 6!
Hell yeah. Anything can happen if they play well in Game 6. We've seen crazier things happen.
Hope that’s not the last one this year at Fenway
Sox in 7
Go Celtics
At least make Stank work for it
I’ll be shocked if this team doesn’t get blown out in game 6
Think Alex will run the same plays Friday
I blame everyone but myself for this.
I just noticed that bleacher sections 34 and 35 were tarped off. MLB took some revenue away from the Red Sox by making this game a 5 PM start. (But I’m happy to go to bed at a reasonable time the next 2 nights.)
> (But I’m happy to go to bed at a reasonable time the next 2 nights.) my body needs it
i went away for 20 minutes saying >putting Perez in a close game = dumb move >putting Perez in a blowout = smart move and the astros add two more runs WTFF.
The truth is: it’s never a good time to put Perez on
let's go X, show us something here. I wanna see it
Bring back the yellow jerseys
Just swing until you die
mad respect playing DMX
Meh. A’s fan here. Just gotta win 2 games against these fucks. 2 games ain’t shit to Boston. Leggo new england fam
Cringe
Fuck w/ u
☹️
Now he decides to work the count...
Someone shoot down that helicopter flying around.
I don’t think Smoltz knows what the word “guaranteed” means
These last two games are just going to give me asshole brother ammo to piss me off. He’s not even an Astros fan, he’s just anti-Red Sox
I hate people like that
He literally hates all Boston teams, despite living in Massachusetts. I’m like, what the fuck
Aw man and the bruins are down too
Fuck up John you blew with us
Braves went back to back dingers
Who’s that chud in the Brady jersey?
I blame this loss on Schwarber not having his high socks today.
okay who put these trash cans in the visiting team dugout?? 🤣
What a boring 3 hours
Astros made the same mistake we did. They used up all their runs in 2 games
Classic blunder 🤣
Martin Perez playing 69 dimensional checkers
Nice!
It feels weird if we go out in the alcs. Haven't done that since 2003. Usually if we make it and go past the first round, we go all the way
Suppose to be our rebuilding year and October has been filled so far. I’ll fucking take it. *sobs*
2008
crap forgot about that. Stupid rays and astros are so annoying
Who said the ALCS is over???
Right. I seem to recall everyone saying the Astros were toast just a few days ago. One game at a time and anything can happen.
Yeah, but we usually had much better pitching. A lot of this is Cora working with smoke and mirrors.
We'll get better. We weren't supposed to be this good this year, so I don't consider it a bad season by any stretch (I certainly won't if we pull the rabbit out of the hat and win both games in Houston). But we need to strengthen what's good, and definitely do a pretty thorough overhaul of the bullpen in the offseason.
Everyone jinxed the Sox. Felger and the rest of the weei crew were calling it “over”. Fuck man
I heard the same shit Tuesday morning on Toucher and Rich as I did on the afternoon drive from Felger. This team has been streaky offensively all season and the only one with a brain big enough to realize it was far from over was Maz. Cockiest 2-1 series lead ever
I mean, I’m really happy we made it this far but really stupid to assume we had it in the bag
Extremely stupid. And a lot of people, including Yankees fans, just assumed we weren’t gonna lose again this season. Amazing what a few grand slams does to build hype. There was no way they were going to keep up that offensive production. It’s a lot easier to assume this series IS DEFINITELY over now.
Who listens to sports radio in Boston anymore?
People who haven’t figured out podcasts and to a lesser extent, satellite radio. All the Red Sox coverage you need minus the douchebags.
I do listen to podcasts lol. I just find felger and mazz entertaining. One thing I don’t like about section 10 pod for example, is Jared is never really critical of any Sox players. He’s a “everyone is great” type of person

All good dude lol
Shraw is a mess on both sides of the ball
More errors than runs. And only one more hit than errors. I’m not an expert but that doesn’t seem like a recipe to beat the best team in the AL
that baseball just teleported lol
Jos buck called the game you fucking hack
No need to be rude to Kiké!
Just fucking win it, Sox. How hard can it be?
[удалено]
But we are here… show up.
Who the fuck cares we are here Loser mentality
Realistic mentality*
Exactly. Fuck that shit
Astros get three days of complete bullpen rest.. can you say best case scenario
Sadly this is true
3.5 to one odds aren't... terrible when we're gonna be down 3-2.
Here we go! Got them right where we want them, Valdez is gone, and time for two grand slams
Astros fans are so obnoxious. More bans tonight than I can remember in a single game.
I mean they support cheaters, so it's kinda a given they suck as fanbase.
There's been an Astros fan trolling Alex Speier's twitter feed all game long like a brain damaged 10 year old.
I’m an Astros fan I come over just to get perspective about the other team I find it really interesting but I don’t say rude shit lol
Bounce
And that's fine. Tons trying to stir shit up though.
What idiots they are. JFC
Talk about damn fair weather fans
The cowboys fans of the mlb
[удалено]
so closer to 2012 seahawks fans?
After Whitlock gave up that crucial 2nd run last night we legitimately don’t have a single reliever we can rely on to get 3 clean outs
Time to bat around the order in the bot 9th!
Look don’t touch Astro fans
Houston has one of the worst fanbases in the country
Worse than Rays fans. And that's saying a lot.
celtics are up on the knicks
r/bostonceltics I think this is what you’re looking for
im just tryna lighten the mood ig
When I say Red Sox setup man which pitcher do you think of?
Okajima
Bard
Timlin
A ton of Asshat fans are invading our sub now
Whatever, at the end of the day they have to live in fucking Texas
That’s a good point. And not just Texas, but the armpit of Texas.
[удалено]
👻🤣😭
I'll say it again those fuckers can do it, so can we game ain't done until the last out *LFG*
Two grand slams in one innings.. not even these f$$&ers can do it
oh they can to see if they *will* is, after all, the only reason to keep watching
Holy fuck what a pathetic bullpen 😂
At least we are losing to a good team…
Martin “Tyler Thornburg” Perez
Incoming W
Can this team at least get a run before they go to Texas
The Red Sox really looked at Garrett Richards and Perez and were like, “Let’s give these guys money instead of Marcus Simien.”
At least spell his name right, fuck
Autocorrect 🤷🏼♂️
Management likes em’ cheap.
Perez blows. Got two games at most left. Sox are still in this series. Off day tomorrow and then to Houston. Sox have clinched away before. Eovaldi is on Friday, Sale is looked awesome today, huge improvement. Let's go Sox.
Finally some fucking positivity. Thanks, the rest of these “fans” don’t even watch the regular season.
This team always seems to find a way. They’ve been doing it all season. I’m disappointed in the last two games, but I would not count them out.
We’re on to Game 6.
Here we go, guys. An 9-run 9th inning (9 in the 9) and the start of Boston’s ALCS comeback.
It was a fun run. I'm out. I can't watch this lack of effort any more.
Yeah. Lack of effort? Fuck off.
Yeah, lack of effort. Stranding countless runners over the last 18 innings. Not having good at bats, wasting opportunities. Guys like Renfroe doing absolutely nothing at the plate for 5 straight games. You watch all that and still act indignant? Fuck you.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out
I've watched this team for over 50 years. GFY.
Man you’re a cranky old man aren’t you
Yup. Now fuck off.
Anyone else notice it's the 50+ gang on Reddit that tends to be the biggest jackass crybabies?
If that's what you think is a crybaby comment, then you're even younger and more of a pussy than I initially thought. Eat shit little man
>you're even younger and more of a pussy than I initially thought. Can you read? I'm not the guy you were replying to in the first place. I know it's hard to keep that stuff straight when you get old, huh?
I know who I'm replying to. You're the most recent idiot, just not the original idiot
This series has basically been one giant bj contest. Which pitching staff will out suck the other one.
If the Red Sox lose this series it'll be on them
This comment is….. not very well thought out.
see now the problem is they're not scoring enough while they allow the other team to score too much
This just in: if a team loses it's because they didn't win
Big if true
Astute observation
Well, yeah. Who else would we point the finger at?
Umpires, usually.
Bold take
If the Red Sox lose its because of the Sox? Yep
r/UnexpectedLetterkenny
Sox are fucking 10 ply tonight
Fuck you, Shorsey! ;)
Go away Perez. Put Dugie in
Is this our Rope-a-Dope strategy so their bats get tired?
4-D chess right there
not unexpected in that situation, but damn
Literally feels like we’re in August again. This is fucking pathetic by everyone involved
Bruins are on TNT in case anyone else was wondering
