The show starts with some quick thoughtss on the passing of Tim Wakefield. Wake deserves his own episode. I have an idea in mind that will take a bit of time to put toghter, but keep an eye out. Hats off to NESN for the job they did honoring Wake while live on the air. I also lose my mind over a particular social media interaction... Then I give a full report card on the 2023 Red Sox, grading every player to appear this season. This sets the stage for the upcoming offseason preview episode with my plan to fix this team.
Beverage of the week Tullamore DEW (https://www.tullamoredew.com/en-us/our-whiskey-range/tullamore-original/) - An outstanding table whiskey that is smooth enough to enjoy neat. A 375ml bottle is under $20.

Somewhere we belong
Another year, another year with a losing record, another year in last place. An awful day for Red Sox fans on the field, and off the field with Curt Schilling sharing (with or without permission) that Tim Wakefield is battling brain cancer, while Tim's wife Stacy has been battling pancreatic cancer.... Also discussed is where the Red Sox GM search is at and if it will be much of a search at all. If you are a Red Sox fan than needs a reason to smile today.

Bloom Out!
The day we weren’t sure would ever come has arrived. As critical as I’ve been of the job Chaim Bloom has done as CBO of the Red Sox, this doesn’t feel like a day to celebrate. It really is another organizational failure.
I break down the Bloom tenure, where he went wrong, and where ownership left him out to dry. Following that is a conversation with Cousin Adam.
