The Sox killed off the last traces of their optimism with a bad series against Kansas City, where their putrid offense, awful baserunning and shaky managing were all on full display.

Ethan, Nick and James got together to review the trouble on display this past weekend, and look at what lies ahead now that everyone understands the Sox playoff dreams are dashed.–Full playing time for Tyler Saladino? Keeping watching Avisail Garcia spiral down? When do we see Erik Johnson already?–Is trading Samardzija the only move the Sox have at the deadline? Would trading Jose Quintana be more likely to bring back a real bat?–What is the future for the so-called “three-year window?”
