Portnoy Blasts Red Sox: 'Sell the Team'

0:00On April 8th, Dave Portnoy, the bar-stool sports boss and hardcore Boston fan, is done with the Red Sox after their sloppy fielding against the brewers. Even though they scraped out a 3-2 win on Tuesday at Fenway, a botched double play in the fourth inning had him exploding online. Shortstop Trevor Story, and second baseman Marcelo Mayer, messed up the exchange, letting the runners stay safe and blowing the chance for two outs. That play sums up the Red Sox rough start to the season. They're sitting at three wins and eight losses, dead last in the American League East. Fans like Portnoy are feeling the pain early, with defensive errors piling up and the team struggling to find any rhythm. Portnoy's frustration is in new. Just last week on his Wake Up bar-stool show, he unloaded on ownership, especially principal owner, John Henry. He called watching games miserable, saying the front-office seems okay with mediocrity just to rake in cash instead of chasing titles. He's even pledged to bet on every Red Sox game this year, but it's already wearing him down.

1:01The guy who lives and breathes Boston's sports is yelling to sell the team, fed up with what he sees as a lack of real effort. With the Yankees rolling atop the division and headed to Fenway in two weeks, things could get even uglier for Boston if they don't turn it around. Fast.
