    But seriously, it's disappointing right now, but you just tip your hat to a team that outplayed us this series, and think about how great our team played most of the season.

    Nothing to hang your heads about boys!

    Here's to rooting for an Indians/Cubs World Series.

Granted, you are losing your best hitter, but the remnants of that lineup are great
    Or sign Chris Sale

    This season was a ton of fun to be a part of.

    Good times on here too...
    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed up to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    I'll be rooting for the Cubs. They have a great team. They are on the way of sweeping the Giants.

    Would love to see Theo and company break the jinx. I think they will.

    With me living in Massachusetts this sucks for me. With them losing to Cleveland, PAPI retired. It sucks.

    Peace out everybody have a good night.

    Well it certainly blows that I have to shelve my main hobby ( watching every Sox game ) until April.

    It's sad to see Papi crying on the mound after watching him come through so many times for my team.

    But I am optimistic about 2017. I agree with Jacko. This team did arrive a little ahead of schedule and the nucleus for a very good team is in place.

    I am not looking forward to seeing and hearing all the Farrell bashing that will come. I say he stays because he has not done a bad job and because there probably isn't a better manager available to replace his two neurons.

    I am hoping that Tito humiliates the Jays and that Napoli has a huge post season. Same with Miller, and even Crisp.

    But, the Jays are a tough match-up.

    I want the Indians and Cubs in the series. And as much as it would be a cool story for the Cubs to win it all, I'd much prefer to see Tito get another ring.

    So blow me.
    "Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.


    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    This night, the night the Red Sox get knocked out, just so happens to be the 91st birthday of the man who taught me how to love them. RIP Grandpa.

    Tito showed the killer-instinct in the series. Once he got us down, he went to his horses and locked it down.

    It was a fun year with a disappointing end.

    I too will be looking to fill some time now that the Red Sox are packing it in for 2016. Tomorrow I will mourn and then get ready for next season.

    I was surprised Leon kept being trotted out there. No PH'er.

    He looked totally lost.

    I have serious doubts about him having the starting job next spring.

    Conor Gillespie just put the Giants ahead of the Cubs beating Chapman and hanging a blown save on him in the 8th inning. Connor Gillespie?

    The only time I've ever felt about a player was when I was way young and the Boomer left the Sox............ this means more to me..........

    boy am I sad right now.......

    I guess he's this year's Daniel Murphy or David Freese or whatever. He'll fade into obscurity soon enough after this postseason is over. The Cubs will win this DS anyways.
