The post Halliday comments Felger has been great
He was getting a little full of self and acting like a prick to much - but he’s been funny more patient and entertaining
The show has been good to very good overall
Mike from Woburn is hilarious- I like when they let him go on
Price has the option to opt out after this year but no chance of that happening now.

The Red Sox needed David Price’s best. They might’ve gotten his worst
NEW YORK — It’s not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
It’s Lincoln Tunnel Syndrome.
Mercy!
David Price willingly put the bull’s-eye on his back. He teased about not being able to pitch against the Yankees because he’d played too much “Fortnite”. He said this was going to be just another game .And then he submitted perhaps the loudest, worst starting performance of his decorated career.
Too hot (91 degrees Sunday night)? Too cold (42 when the Yanks lit up Price in Fenway in April)? Allergies?
Without a doubt.
We know for sure now that Price is allergic to Pinstripes. He is allergic to the Bronx.
McAdam: Red Sox’ problems with David Price not limited to postseason anymore
NEW YORK — In his first two seasons in Boston, the Red Sox had reason to feel apprehensive when it came to pitching David Price in the postseason. When they signed him after the 2015 season, they knew his shaky track record could be an issue.
Sure enough, in his first October in a Red Sox uniform, Price was shelled for five runs in 3.1 innings against the Cleveland Indians.
Now, the Red Sox have another issue with their $217 million pitcher: he can’t pitch against their top rivals, either.
Price was battered for five homers and eight runs in just 3.1 innings Sunday night as the Sox were rolled 11-1, in the series finale against the New York Yankees.
In two abbreviated starts against the Yankees this season, Price has been hammered for 12 runs in just 4.1 innings, which translates to an ERA of 24.92. And that doesn’t count another planned start that was scrapped when Price was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome.
So now, the Red Sox don’t get to wait until October for their anxiety to ramp up. They can begin worrying about the first week of August — when the Yankees invade Fenway for four games — and the final two weeks of the season, when the Sox play six of their final 12 games of the regular season against the Yankees.
It’s not like they can hide him every time and skip his turn in the rotation when the Yankees pop up on the schedule. Nor, given their investment in him, should have to contemplate that.
But how are the Red Sox supposed to plot out winning the division from their rivals when their No. 2 starter is seemingly incapable of being so much as competitive against them?

Hurley: David Price, Alex Cora Not Concerned With Dud Vs. Yankees ... But They Definitely Should Be
“Honestly, I felt fine,” Price said after taking the loss on Sunday evening. “They put some good swings on what I felt like were pretty good pitches. But whenever you’re facing a team and a lineup like that, you’ve got to make that really good pitch, especially in those situations.”

It serves them right. The Sox front office has had the head up their asses for the past 5 years with the stupid signings. They make it hard to watch them. They have the money but constantly make the wrong desisions in free agency. Everyone says, " it's not your money". Yah, it isn't but now what do you do? They won't go over the threashold, so wasting money is a problem. Raise your hand if you saw this happening with guy from Tampa Bay. He didn't even like Boston except for overpayment from the Sox. All these things are money grabs, splashes that don't pan out. How bout Moreland at 6 mil. He's making more impact than this guy.

The Cubs are currently a half game out of first place in their division, despite having a run differential that is double of division leading Milwaukee. In fact the Cubs have the best run differential in the National Legaue.
Last year they won the division.
In 2015 they made the Wild Card game which they won. They made the NLCS.
Oh, and I forgot all about 2016 WHEN THE WON THE f***ING WORLD SERIES.

2015 - Went to the NLCS
2016 - Won the World Series
2017 - Went to the NLCS
2018 - currently 1/2 game out of 1st, and are the #1 WC
In the same timeframe, the Sox have 2 playoff appearances and only 1 total playoff win (1-6 record)
again, perception.... Boston doesn't deal with multiple teams in the same sport in opposite leagues

again, reality......Epstein has turned the Cubs into a super relevant powerhouse despite what you falsely post here

You asked what Epstein has done, calling the Cubs irrelevant.
You are wrong and it was an absurd comment.

nah, its reality.
btw, 3 consecutive LCS appearances is something that has never been done in Red Sox history.
The last 3 seasons, the Cubs have 17 postseason wins...the Sox have 1

Are these serious posts? Honest question.
The Cubs aren't relevant? They ahven't backed up 2016? What?
What exactly did the Sox do to "back up 2004"? They got swept in 2005, and missed the freaking postseason in 2006 prior to winning again.
The Cubs have made 3 straight NLCS, with 1 WS win in there, and frankly are probably on their way to a 4th appearance this season. Epstein has turned that franchise from a perennial joke into a perennial contender.
The Red Sox? Since they lost to Tampa in the ALCS in 2008, they have 12 playoff wins. TWELVE. In a f***ing decade. 11 of which came in 2013.
What the hell do the White Sox have anything to do with the Cubs by the way? Chicago is, and forever will be a Cubs city. The White Sox are irrelevant.
