I suspect it's hard to sell season tickets when the last thing Sox fans remember from the previous season is a string of poorly played baseball during a late season collapse. I hope Hahn and the rest of the staff have plans to analyze this history of September collapses/weak finishes.

Just in general, Rios has had little help in the middle of the lineup lately. Again today, only five hits, and none after the fourth inning. David Price is great, sure, but I've seen that kind of poor production against far lesser pitchers than Price. You don't hit guys like Corey Kluber, you paint yourself into a corner where you have to beat an elite starter such as Price to save the season. That's a tall order. It was too tall a task for the Sox today.

At this point, the Sox need to make changes, but if they were to do what the Cubs are doing on the north side, it would be a disaster for them at the gate. And I don't think the Sox are going to go on a Yankees-style spending spree. They're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment. |

The rest of the time? Building to compete in a usually weak division. No es bueno, and the fans are sick of it.

Actually, the way the season ended up was exactly what Paulie was talking about. They outdid most people's expectations, yet missed the postseason.

No. I think we want a winner *and* an excuse to get drunk in the bleachers.

What I meant to say is that I don't think they accomplished furthering their organization by developing younger talent other than a few of their pitchers. Of course only time will tell what the fallout of this season is and how it affects next year and beyond. |

Tragg:
I believe you are correct (just off the top of my head) before 67 it was 64 when the Sox were eliminated on the next to last day. That says something by the way about how often the Sox have actually been in "contention" late in a season doesn't it? Lip |

I'm actually hoping that Baltimore wins the east and the Yankees get knocked out in the play-in game.

The O's would be a good story if they went all the way.I'm just not a big Showalter fan.
