It's not that this team sucks, which they do. They are lifeless. Boring. Inert. I've seen plenty of bad Red Sox teams over the past 30 years but none so listless as this group.
The Red Sox starting lineup against the Yankees had 5 players hitting under .200. One of those is Caleb Durbin. It's not so much about him. He represents the front office's slapdash "aim for mediocrity" approach. They waived the white flag at 3B this season.

New at @NFLonCBS: There's no need for the Pro Football Hall of Fame if it does not include Bill Belichick. That institution — thanks to some collection of truly ridiculous people — lost integrity today https://t.co/JlyYGEmm9d
I am telling you: Belichick not getting in because of Spygate is to me partly a pretext. I think he mostly didn’t get in because he treated a large swath of the media like dog sh—. And I think that’s shameful. Absolutely disgusting to leave him out because of that.
Bill Polian still angry that blatantly changing the rules to favor the Colts after the 2003 AFC title game didn't go as planned against the Patriots. He did succeed in delegitimizing the Hall of Fame for a generation.
"A voter who spoke on condition of anonymity said that (Bill) Polian... told some voters he believed Belichick should 'wait a year' before induction as penance for Spygate, the 2007 cheating scandal that cost the team a first-round draft pick."
