Boone made a hot mess out of a lot of this series, but he really ruined Luke Weaver this postseason by overuse and overexposure. Kid was so broken that he balked by the rarely seen stepping off three times rule.

Gonna be an interesting off season in NY.

Cole, Soto, the player formerly known as Anthony Rizzo

Boone? How does he survive this?

Judge getting crucified in many circles.

Sure they’ll re-load…..and they’re loaded with cash…..but they’ve spent how many billion over the last decade and a half for nothing but failure?

What a disaster game by Yankees

I’d rather have the Red Sox season then that WS loss

Cole blew the game

Goes to see Dodgers get their first legit WS in 36 years

Cole didn't blow anything. Come on.....Did you just skim the box score, or actually watch the game?

He didn't cover 1st base, sure. But if Judge catches an easy fly ball or Volpe makes an easy throw to 3rd, he doesn't have to. Cole was excellent.

I'll apologize as soon as you explain exactly how Cole blew the game.....He had to pitch a 6 out inning in the 5th.

Soto is going to get $600+ and he earned it. Yankees can't afford to lose him, but other owners like Cohen and Ricketts are going to offer the moon. It's going to be competitive.

Cashman and Steinbrenner seem oddly faithful to Boone, but I don't know if Boone can survive this. Hal's dad would go scorched earth and fire Boone and trade Judge if he were alive.

Judge had a really bad series, and that market can be brutal to underperforming players but I think he's going to survive and be fine.

Cole didn't blow it imo. His defense completely screwed him and then Boone being completely oblivious to him starting to struggle is what blew that game.

5-0 bases loaded, two outs and Betts hits a grounder to Rizzo who looks up to toss to Cole who didn’t cover

He should have been out of inning 5-0

How the hell did Cole blow the game? Just asking for everyone else that actually paid attention
To bad I liked you but you went to take a cheap shot go for it I won’t be reading you ever again

Cole was a member of that defense that failed, so his excuses run thin. But he still should've got out of it and pitched well enough to win. Judge botching that fly out was the single biggest contributor to the loss.

If you truly are a fan of this ball club, you should be outraged by this. Especially given how the Dodgers just won a world series with a handful of the Red Sox's own players.

This team needs stop pretending they are Tampa Bay and Oakland and start spending money again. If that means selling this club to someone with deep pockets, then so be it. I am done with the excuses of why this team can't spend to the levels of the Dodgers to get premium talent.

I've accepted a long time ago that John Henry sucks and he needs to leave the organization.

The Sox being on that list is downright embarrassing, but not surprising.

I've said it many times before, but I'd be more comfortable if this team was owned by an oil sheikh or an oligarch from some country rather than Henry and Werner. At least they would spend money to win. I know this isn't like soccer where that is common, but I just want to see my team win again.

no baseball in November - great

The regular season should end September 28th and playoffs start October 1 and end no later than Halloween


insult to injury. he couldnt wait to drop that
Very unlikeable roster

They need him

Like to see Sox trade for Rooker to become DH & move Yoshida if possible

Rooker has character and would be very popular here

Ask long-time employees of the Sox and Globe they all say the problem is

She is only 46 and not going away.

Follow up question though, Fenway. Could it be feasible that Linda would sell a majority share to another partner while retaining a smaller stake that allows her some administrative control of the Sox?

At this point if the Molsons who own the Habs bought them I'd be ok with it
