Well, the season ended with a poetic justice as grotesque for Red Sox fans as 2004’s season ending was awesome. Unfortunately, the carnage that was September of 2011 didn’t end with Jonathan Papelbon walking off the mound in Baltimore. What would transpire of the following few days was as critical and possibly more damaging to the Red Sox future as the crushing on-field losses that kept the Red Sox out of the post season for the second straight season.

Paul and I talk about the collapse, the fractured clubhouse, the firing of Tito Francona, the future of Theo Epstein and which players should be taking blame and staying or going in 2012.

You may be surprised to hear the names of some of the players and front office members whose heads we come calling for as we vent along with all of you.

All that and more on this episode of Fireside Chats.

Thanks for listening!
