The Incredible Suck

by Denton on September 1, 2012


There is absolutely nothing left for me in this 2012 season. No individual player milestones, no “moral victory” situations, no spoiler role, nothing. Just another month of games where my team disappoints their fans.

Last night was just another example of the Red Sox falling victim to an opponent who actually gives a shit about winning. Whether or not the Sox do end up being the worst team in Red’s lifetime or not, this has certainly been the hardest team to watch in my lifetime.

There’s really nothing to say about last night’s humiliation. One team showed up, the Sox mailed it in. If MLB had a slaughter rule, I would have gotten to bed a little earlier. They are now just a game above Toronto for last-place honors. Football in a week, and an entire off-season to cleanse our minds of this season.

HOLY COW this is unbearable to watch.

This team is disgusting. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actively rooting for the Sox to lose, if only because it might increase the chances of the team being completely blown up this offseason.

Bard's fastball topping out at 93-94 with little or no movement?  Just what the hell has he been doing in Pawtucket the last 2+ months?

Pedey's going to punch out someone on his own team before the season's over.

@Santa Cruz Sox @Jennie @GodzillaJoe Ha.  I was at all 3 games as well and did get some shit.  I took a friend of mine from Boston to her first game and she was surprised at how many talked smack to her and she didn't interact with ANY A's fans!  (I have to admit that on Saturday night, I had it coming.)

@Jennie @GodzillaJoe I went to all three games at the Coliseum at the start of July in my Sox jersey and hat and I got no grief from any A's fan inside or outside the stadium, just a little very good-natured banter with the guys around me in the seats.

@GodzillaJoe @Jennie Yeah, last night I had free tickets and made it down the street before the bloodbath began.

@Jennie @GodzillaJoe game is half over, bar is cheaper.  even i'm done after this inning and I'm at home.  5 run deficit is my limit.

@GodzillaJoe Plus I have the sox game on one channel and Beckett on the other.

@Jennie @GodzillaJoe $40?!  For the A's?  Do they boost prices when Sox are in town?  A couple of years ago I walked up and got about 10 rows behind first base for $22.

Can we vote for Mike Timlin to win that pitcher of the week thing?

Yup -- first batter = Coco Crisp = 2nd pitch = HR = all the ex Soxers getting revenge...

O the Horror. The Horror.

Home stretch.  Final month.  I'll be watching.  Because in January I'll be Jonesin' for this stuff.  So take the good with the bad and enjoy it while you can.  And for me, it's at least a chance to drink some beers and get all Mystery Science Theater on them if they tank.

@GodzillaJoe Last night's game was like watching Manos without the cushy Joel and the Bots filter.

at this point, it doesn't really matter does it.  hopefully they help knock mfy down a few notches...  and maybe we'll get to see some flashes of things to come when they bring up the young guys on the expanded roster.

Plus the way it looks no hockey to look forward to.  Maybe the Mayans are going to be right, 2012 is it.
