Buckner was the real WS MVP. I heard the Mets voted him a full share. |
Very nice video, very touching IMO.
I am a life time Red Sox fan. After last fall, I put my membership on hold :rant-rave: |
Beer and chicken wings, anyone ?????????????

In truth, I'm not surprised that the Red Sox that the Red Sox had an autistic child sing the National Anthem. Back in the day, I attended many a game at Fenway and found the franchise to be classy outfit. Sorry, I just couldn't resist the cheap shot at Buckner. Now, I am going to take a self-imposed time out and sit on my hands before you all put on your CAPS LOCK and really flame me. |

Patty, I'm going to put on my cap lock and say I THOUGHT YOUR BUCKNER COMMENT WAS PRETTY FUNNY. Don't let the PC police get you down.

When I was in college I used to referee basketball games at the women's prison in Danvers and on the way back to school we would stop at Hilltop for a $2.95 fabulous steak dinner !

A sad, sad day in Red Sox Nation
|
As a Yankee fan, let me offer my condolences. Baseball lost a good guy today!
|
Being a die-hard Yankee fan all of my life, I am not a Red Sox lover.
However, I have to agree with Barryrx. Baseball lost a good one. The rivalry should last but that doesn't diminish the talent that is on both sides. |
Baseball lost a good ambassador .
RIP - Johnny. Johnny Pesky, Boston Red Sox icon, dies at age 92 - MLB - SI.com |

I agree. |
Bobby Valentine Fired!!!
|
No surprises by me. Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" guy. His mouth is almost as big as Ozzie Guillen's. Bobby V. knows his baseball but he can't deal with people. He should take some tips from Joe Torre.
|
I predict John Farrell at the helm of the Bosox!
|
I believe Farrell is a done deal. The BOSOX just need to come up with some compensation to The Blue Jays. I don't think trading managers is what The Blue Jays are looking for. Not sure if giving up a young player like Pedro Ciriaco would be too much of compensation.

SOM. I am still planing on getting an SOM league when I'm down there. I am leaning toward the 61 or 56 seasons. But if it means a difference I will be flexible.
Being a strong Yankee fan, it still hurt to see the Bosox self destruct. A shame. Hope they can rebuild fast. The money they saved from the big trade should make them shoppers in the FA market. Swisher is a free agent and I doubt the Yankees will resign him again. Swish would be a great addition in Fenway. |
Bobby V's abrasive style did him in. Not popular with the players and I think they didn't want to play for him anymore. It seems like there was a great exodus of ball players. Some might say that it was a salary dump but it can also seem like he wanted to get rid of troublesome personalities. I think managemnet backed him but he was his own worst enemy especially after he alienated Kevin Youkillis. Not a popular move in the clubhouse.
They where considering John Farrell a while back for being their manager but he is presently the Toronto manager. We'll see who they bring in. I think they would need someone who is going to groom the younger players as they are in the rebuilding mode after the salary dump. Of course it wouldn't hurt to get along with veteran players like Pedroia. Heck of a player is Pedroia. I wonder how my Red-Sox buddy feels in terms of what was a worse season, last years collapse or this years implosion. I'll have to ask him. |
Naught a gud yeah foah Fenway Pahk!

I just wish Cano hustled like his counterpart second baseman Pedroia. Cano is an outstanding talent BUT he doesn't hustle at all times. Derek should have a long talk with him. I have seen some great second baseman such as Richardson, Fox, Maz, Morgan and Alomar, and Cano is almost as good defensively. But the whole packagee Cano is the best becaus eof his bat. Just wish he'd bust his ass a little more. But everyone can't be a Pedroia, Jeter, and Rose. And from a Yankee fan "I hope the Red Sox rebuilding period is a short one."

Nothing irks me more than a player not hustling. You think these guys would realized how priviledged there talent is that allows them to play a game for a lot of money. They consider themselves performers soooooooooooooo.... PERFORM. I hope there rebuilding goes well as they is nothing like competive, combative games that are meaningful. Red-Sox vs Yankees battles are the best in sports. They usually last over four hours. |
Pedroia and Lester are cancers - Suxx need to get rid of both of them over the Winter and rebuild.

Quote:
Put Pedroia at third base for the Yankees and he will be fine. |
As usual in professional sports...the inmates run the asylum!

Not soon enough

What took so long? How did he last past the big LA trade?
John Farrell sounds like a good idea. Frankly, I was never a big Francona fan, but I wouldn't hesitate to bring him back. |
Favorite Bobby V.Moment
Getting thrown out of a game and applying black tape mustache (ala Groucho Marx) to "disquise" himself. |
Quote:
Pedroia and Lester for A-Rod? Two young stars for an aging underperforming second baseman? Why would they want to do that? Do you want to get rid of Will Middlebrooks as well? |
Quote:
As a Yankee fan , I hope he gets it together for the playoffs. that's the least he can do for 28 million. :smiley: |

I am hoping that he gets on base several times through walks and or singles so he can be driven in. Hoping for extra base hits and or homeruns is expecting too much from him - IMHO. |

They had a guy in the minor leagues they would have been better off if he had been promoted. |
As good as the Red Sox have been so far. I can't imagine them getting to the World Series with Andrew Bailey as their closer. Rumors are that they are going to work out a deal for a pitcher before the trade deadline, but who could they possibly get as a closer?
That's 3 blown saves out of 11 opportunities. ERA-2.64, Opponents Batting Average 2.11 Good numbers for a starting pitcher but not even close for a closer. What ever made them think this guy was the answer. We'd be better off with Aceves or Scott Atchinson. |
