If the Red Sox wanted to be super bold, they’d have Roman Anthony meet them in New York, and tell him to bring a shortstop with him, but that shortstop would be Franklin Arias. I mean they can’t activate Story and his .352 OPS in Worcester, right? Right?!

Okay, I won’t say anything negative about Duran for 24 hours.

Momasterio’s defense might be the only legit weakness this team has. Love the guy, and give him credit for doing what he can, but he is not good out there.

Get him a tennis racket…

Scouting report on Duran is pretty simple.

Anthony Rizzo shut the fuck up challenge. (Impossible)

Nick Sogard putting the team on his back. And shout out Chad Tracy for pinch hitting for Duran. Don’t think Cora would ever do that.

Sogie!

So Patrick Sandoval kinda sucks, huh?

Giants are having a day with their challenges, huh? Woof that’s a badly managed team.

Booing Rafael Devers is some major loser energy. Just like booing Willson. Fucking Sweet Caroline-singing, WEEI-listening dipshit fanbase.

You see my pfp? I’ve been a Pedro guy for almost 30 years. And the Sox have had some guys since who I have loved (shout out Jon Lester), but can’t come close to Pedro. But Payton Tolle is gonna be right up there with Pedro for me in short order if he keeps it up.

"You're So Pretty" is inscribed on Payton Tolle's glove as a heartfelt tribute to his mother, Jina, who passed away from cancer in 2025. She would playfully yell the line to Payton at baseball games to "embarrass" him in front of friends and teammates. 🥹 #PlayersWeekend

It’s kinda crazy to think that the 2025 Red Sox featured both Walker Buehler and Alex Bregman, two of the most punchable faces in baseball before they came here, and I’m glad they’ve both moved on…

Walker Buehler didn’t look happy in the dugout after his first inning in New York

Jahmai Jones is a better roster fit for this team than Jarren Duran once Roman Anthony is healthy.

#RedSox Jahmai Jones COMES THROUGH with a 2-out single to score Andruw Monasterio and it's a 4-run cushion now vs #Pirates.

Proposing a rule change for baseball’s next CBA: any player who calls himself safe after running down the first base line should automatically be called out.

Jarren Duran cannot be off this roster soon enough. But thanks to Masa getting hurt, this asshole probably gets to keep playing when Anthony gets back.

I’m just now realizing that the Patriots’ first preseason game is tonight, and I am in no way ready to wrap my head around it being football season in 4 weeks.

Whenever this Red Sox season ends, there really needs to be an emphasis on NOT starting out like a bag of shit next season. They haven’t gotten off to a good start in five years, and they look for all the world like the last seven weeks have exhausted them.

So the Red Sox once again can’t buy a hit with guys in scoring position, make untimely errors, act like dipshits on the bases, and manage to do just enough to lose close games. Tell me this isn’t the April/May/June team again…

Would be really nice if the Red Sox could find a level somewhere between “boiled ass” and “hotter than Satans butthole.” Also, fuck George Springer and the Blue Jays, today and forever.

Fuck the Blue Jays too. Fuck George Springer. Fuck overrated Vlad. That apple fell a long way from the tree, cuz he ain’t nuthin like his father. Bunch of choking dog, pissed away a World Series losers…

That game had a lot of April - June vibes. Gotta knock that shit off and win this series.

You don’t have to like this guy‘s politics to recognize that everyone who has insisted for decades that The Issues are almost all too complicated and too nuanced to explain to voters let alone address was lying to you.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Still less ridiculous than what goes on down in the Trop on a regular basis…
