People should be disgusted at the Red Sox trade deadline. The real shame is that fans were ready to believe in this team. Cora is pouting. This is bad. The Sox are about to go into the tank. F –. Matz and May will not help this team win a World Series. Henry is not at fault for the bad deadline. Breslow showed some emotion in his presser. Steve in Fall River trips over himself. Week in review – Fitzy fooled by false reporting
Revisiting the Devers trade after the deadline makes Breslow look even worse. Kelly and Suarez could have been ours. Prospect hugging is terrible. The perfect GM is Theo. Would you rather hire the Dombrowski model or the Breslow model? Wormy Cora snuck away from the deadline. An EPIC Grab Bag sounder. Breslow is hard to deal with. Ivy League dweebs even hate him. Clip Du Jour
Will Tampa finish above the Red Sox? Discussing the Devers return. That trade will age poorly for the Giants. The Red Sox traded three prospects in the top 30 prospects moved, but got NOTHING back. This should piss everyone off. Ken Rosenthal calls Sox deadline an epic fail. He roasted Breslow. Friday Four Pack: 1. SHOULD CRAIG BRESLOW BE FIRED IF THE RED SOX MISS THE PLAYOFFS? 2. WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE TERRY MCLAURIN OR MICAH PARSONS? 3. WHAT IS THE BEST CONCERT YOU'VE EVER GONE TO? 4. WHAT IS THE BEST SUMMER SONG? Patriots coaching staff ranked lower than we think.
Breslow did not do his job at the trade deadline. Period. The team did its job by winning a bunch of games. All of the other AL playoff borderline teams got way better, but the Sox did almost nothing. This team had extra bucks to spend and a great farm system. Huge mistake. Jones really thought he would add. If Henry does not spend BIG on free agency, it is all on him and fans should be pissed. Yesterday was on BRESLOW, not Henry. Breslow got boo'd by the fans at the Greg Hill Show this morning. No one is more let down than Jones. Deadline DISASTER. All of the prospects should have been on the table for Joe Ryan. Keefe thinks the Sox are toast. We were in on the Sox big time! Now that the team didn't upgrade, we can root against them. The Red Sox improved the LEAST out of any AL team. Breslow got in his feels during the press conference last night. Caller takes credit for starting the booing. Breslow has achieved the worst of both worlds. Gave away Blaze Jordan and James Tibbs III. Top five things to do during October because the Sox won't be playing.

Hart says the Sox will be out of the playoffs by Monday. Who are the Coopers Hart would rather see at Fenway Park? He is very emotional. His son is going to college. This is where you go when you are sad, but the fake world at Fenway STINKS right now. Hart took the cheese on the Sox. Breslow and Kennedy lied to him. He took them at their word. Remember the Henry cigar? Were the Sox ever actually in on Ryan? Why is Breslow not the kind of personality to get a good deal done? More Breslow Slander. Callers are furious.

The Drive: Alex Bregman has to be the defined leader of the clubhouse. What else can he do? Asked Ted. Bregman has never missed the playoffs in his career, he has to lead the attitude in the clubhouse. Him and Cora have to work together as a unit. The Rangers spent and got Merrill Kelly. Resetting on Parsons. Maybe the Patriots will fulfil Andy's dreams Cooper Criswell is starting for the Red Sox. What is he all about? Gotta feel bad for him right now. Long reliever type guy. Crochet load management talk. Ted took the fastest victory lap of all time last night when we thought Joe Ryan was ours. Will Flemming joins the show How is he feeling about the trade deadline? He is very upset with the Red Sox and thinks the team could have added more, but they did everything they could to make big moves. Joe Ryan is the guy they want. The Twins made the Red Sox uncomfortable. The national reporters got everything wrong. The trade deadline is its own animal. He does not think people should be so hard on Breslow. All the players are fine.

We could talk to Hollins about foot stuff and alien stuff! Dream guest.
We look forward to the MLB trade deadline every year. Top 30 sports day of the year. Jones is nervous about the way he will feel about Breslow after today. Will the Red Sox make a move?

He will not move the needle. Cora is at a birthday party today. What a douche move. He has a great work-life balance. Some Patriots training camp updates. Nothing really going on today at camp. Back to trade deadline talk. Not many starters have been moved yet. Robert Kraft said WHAT on a podcast with Kay Adams?

Yankees bullpen gets better with the addition of Bednar. Everyone in AL playoff picture is getting better except Sox. Patriots vibes have not been this high since the mural sunk them.
Lou Merloni joins the show and is very disappointed. The Sox need starting pitching. Who can they go out and get? Will the Sox have a fall out if they do not make anymore moves?
