Counting Down

by Denton on September 29, 2012

Remember when I could pitch?

Man, when the 2012 Red Sox do something, they don’t do it half-way. Laying down for the Orioles is one thing, but getting one-hit is taking it to the extreme, eh? The hit was a bunt single by Podsednik who later scored the Red Sox only run (unearned) on a Pedie sac fly.

Cook served up six earned on six hits in his inning-plus. He handed the ball to the once-decent Aceves who…well, sucked again. With the offense just swatting flies, this one was over early. Unfortunately, those cock-knockers up north didn’t do their part. They rolled over for the Yankees, allowing them to cling to their division lead.

Five more games and this wretched season is over. By this time next week Bobby V’s days in Boston should be over too. 2013 can’t get here fast enough. A new team, a new manager, no more contrived 100-year anniversary events…baseball, just baseball.

Fuck me, will this season never finally lay down and die?

Old man rant begins in 3....2....1.

#1 - What is the big hard on for bringing in Farrell to manage?  For the last few years Toronto has been the preseason fashionable pick for a break out season.  Hasn't really happened in Farrell's two years, has it?  

#2-  I want a manager who would have, after Cook's disgraceful 1st inning last night taken this chump down the runway, ripped the effing uniform off his back and tell him to pack his shit and GTFO of the clubhouse.  One more thing;  Mr. Cook, you are 33 years old...a mohawk, seriously?

The O's have brought up Machado and Bundy into the heat of a pennant race.  What harm could possible befall Bogaerts, Bradely, Brentz or Barnes, if they were up for this last week or so?

Can't we just beg Tito to come back? I mean, really. That guy's got more rings than that all the other Red Sox managers in the last hundred years put together. I ain't proud. I'll beg.

@Flatsixes @GaryGeiger They could bring John McGraw back from the grave and it won't matter of the FO doesn't give the manager full reign and stop babying some of these guys especially the pitchers..  I respected Francona as much as anyone but I think the hard feelings with the FO are still too raw.  Plus Tito is interviewing in Cleveland.  Ultimately though I wouldn't mind Tito redux at all.

If we could just get the MFy's a game back, they would have a one game play-in...... And Oakland can knock them out.
