This is a simple game.

You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball.

You got it!

Now, the show that Red Sox Nation turns to her first.

This is Boston's most listened to nightly baseball show.

On Boston's Home for Sports, 985, the Sports Hub.

It's an important series.

We need to play better.

We played four games against the Yankees.

We did a good job last week, but that was last week.

Obviously, we didn't have a great series against the race. There were some positive, but a lot of negatives, and we have to get up. And it starts today. I hadn't heard that until right now. Stop living in the past. Stop living in the past. Alex Corey, even at the past is last week when you took three or four from New York. Jesus, this team.

Welcome into the baseball reporter's 985 of Sports Hub. It's Jim Murray and Matt McCarthy. He, the host of hardcore baseball. Who's had it with this baseball team, by the way. He's had it. He's hardcore baseball. I refer to him as baseball boy. He's done. Feels like he's out. O-U-T. Joe Murray. I'm out. Welcome in. You want to join us tonight. Bitch about this ball club, 617779-0-985. That's Red Sox manager and enabler. Alex Kor, just a short time ago, getting ready for this four-gamer against New York Yankees that starts tonight with Eduardo Rodriguez, who at least a positive 8-1 in his past 11 starts, 3033 earn run average. So he's been the best pitcher on this rotation for really the last month, month and a half, goes up against James Paxton. So that's the good news. The bad, holy crap, this team since what happened last week. Oh, you know, we had a good series against the Yankees last week. We get it. Get over it. Why not talk about the now? Alex Corey. You took three or four, but you lost the most important one with Chris Sale on the mound. And then since then, it's been basically a complete disaster. They're now three and a half games out of a wild card. Things look awful. They do nothing at the trade deadline. How do you feel about your ball club going into this series there, McCarthy? Not good.

Not good.

In fact, I hate the 2019 Red Sox.

I was there last night.

I got to bask in the hate for my team.

Screw you, 2019 Red Sox.

That is my message to you today because you just play the most uninspiring, lifeless brand of baseball.

I have had it with your nightly disappointment.

Jim, I watched this team on a night in, night out basis.
