Last night on Comcast Sports Network (local here in Boston) the host Tanguay said
that there is a large portion of Red Sox fans who are routing for them to not make the playoffs.
Here is a list of what these fans hope will go away with a total Sox collapse:
1. The end of the Pink Hat Fans (I agree with this ,mostly girls...when I was a kid my Dad would take
me into Fenway and i swear everyone sitting around us were business guys dressed in trench coats and smoking cigars
while reading The Globe. Now it's broads ,checking their i-phones and hitting on guys down on the lower concourse.)
2. The end of that horrible Sweet Caroline sing along between the 7th inning ...who started that shit ?
3. Goodbye Theo (I think it will be Goodbye Francona)
4. Now this one is the funniest one and totally true "Fenway has become NANTUCKET!..now that is too funny and true
Fenway has become like this place to be seen , the fact that they play baseball there is an afterthought....who would
have ever thunk this .....
I guess this was the price of 2 WS Championships.......
-
Mr. MVP has to make that catch , Freddy Lynn used to make those catches crashing into walls.....
Oh well I guess Mr. MVP is more of a run and dive forward kind of guy ...Damn!
Some fan ran onto the field last night and flipped the bird to the Red Sox dugout ...they deserve it.

Lackey......What an Asshole !!!!!!!
When Theo goes to the Cubs , I hope he takes with him
Lackey
Drew
Dice K
Crawford
This is one of the more unlikable Sox teams in a long time , can't wait for
The Bruins to start playing for real!

Pedroia might go under the knife for his right knee, will miss a month.

As a Yankee fan, I'm not seeing much that I'd call encouraging. Hughes looks like he's all but lost it, the bullpen has been good but not great and the batting averages are starting to tumble. Don't know if anyone noticed but Mark Texiera, the newly minted Mr. April, is now hitting .240 after going 0-4 today against the Sox. A-Rod's .304 leads the team and Russell Martin is next at .292. Everyone else is pretty much tanking. A Red Sox sweep this weekend is not out of the question.
Can't believe Lackey gets the win , he SUCKED. Friggin' Eck kinda gave him props?
was he watching the same game?
He SUCKED
The Yanks are the most amazing team in the world ,cause I always think they suck ,yet they win a lot.
I don't know how they do it .....
-
Something about a positive drug test, I think PEDs
Of course they didn't mention that.....NESN post game with Gammons and Eck
are talking about the drug issues with Manny.
Gammons seems like he is losing it , he is stuttering and sometimes rambling about Pujols and his work ethic, They were in the middle of a conversation about Manny ?????
Eck looks uncomfortable , like he doesn't know what Gammons is talking about.
-
They just announced during the Red Sox game that Manny has retired !

Hey Dan. Red Sox and Rays are running neck and neck out of the gate!
With Longoria on the DL, things ain't looking too good. I'm anticipating a first-to-worst year.
Its the only thing that's keeping me from seeking out the nearest bridge to fling myself from - if you believe the Rays will end of the third best non-division winner, then getting off to the same pathetic start keeps me on a somewhat even keel.
But Jesus Christ the way they are playing, the Indians will do their best "'1927 Yankees" imitation starting Tuesday and by the time the Yankees leave Fenway Sunday night they'll be six games off the pace.
And then you will see people lined up at bridges all over New England.
Can you win the World Series even if you never win a regular season game ?
-
I'm glad I won't be able to watch opening day against the Rangers - CJ Wilson is so tough against lefties (.400 OPS against!), and Francona is only sitting JD Drew instead of most of his lefties, just because its opening day. As some Globe writer pointed out, if this were a July series, McDonald would play for Ellsbury, Lowrie would play for Gonzalez, and Varitek would DH for Ortiz, in addition to Cameron playing instead of Drew. That's three guys in the lineup Wilson will probably make mincemeat out of. I don't need to see that happen live, even if I will follow the game at my desk. Best chance we have is if Lester decides to forget that its April and pitches like he can, and if Wilson is off his game a bit.
The Lefty thing is outta control ,Ellsbury,Gonzalez and Big Papi have had a field day against the lefties.
If Francona had put in Lowrie,Tek and McDonald we wouldn't have any runs.....what is up with the lefty thing ?
Fred Lynn always played against Lefties,Yaz always played against Lefties....why does everyone over think the
game of baseball now?

Thanks !...it feels good
Next year will be bad.

I love all his movies!
Alice is another great one,I love the scene where Alice tells Dr.Yang that"penguins mate for life"
and Dr.Yang responds with "ah you think penguins are catholics?"
Also recently saw Small Time Crooks for the first time and Elaine May totally steals the movie,ya gotta
see it just for her performance!

Would it not be ironic if say the parents of JSngry conceived him while "Baby Let's Play House"
played on the radio.
-
So, yeah, its impossible not to be excited when you sign a Carl Crawford when he's 29. I can only imagine what Zen and Tom R. are waking up to in the middle of Red Sox Nation.
Hey , I wanted Crawford from the start and I was NOT sad to see V-Mart go.
I still can't believe the local sports media was all upset over letting Martinez walk.....the other thing
about signing Crawford is that it's also insurance in case Ellsbury re injures himself or when his comtract
is up brcause as you know Bor-ass will be chasing huge money again as always.
-
MLB Trade Rumors says Gonzalez is going to Boston after all. Red Sox say they have the parameters of an extension, but no extension at this time will be done.
NESN is Flashing Breaking News ...the Red Sox have acquired Adrian Gonzalez.....
-
They were just commenting on Comcast Sportsnet and Buckley said that the deal
should be in the Mark Teixeira range .....In fact he is a better player than Teixeira.
So this should not have been a surprise for the Sox brass.
They were talking about next year with the 3 big 1st baseman out on the market ,Pujols,Fielder and
Gonzalez and that the Yanks will not be driving up the price on any of these guys with 6 years left
on Teixeira and big salaries on Jeter,Posada.....so the Yanks have dug them selves a ditch.
But right now the Red Sox have taken a Major PR blow !!!!!!!
-
There's a post at the NBC Baseball blog arguing that the Red Sox are right to back out, that they can get Gonzalez in a year and keep their prospects.
Fucking stupid, if that is Theo's theory, and the proof is in Werth's senseless contract: There is always the risk of some poorly run team over-bidding to get someone like Adrian Gonzalez. If this was Theo, and not John Henry, then he deserves to be run out of town on a rail. Gonzalez is there for the taking, no one competing for his services, and they couldn't get a deal done.
Unless its turned out that Gonzalez thinks he's worth A-Rod or Pujols money, then this is totally the fault of a penny-wise and pound-foolish front office.
And if anyone thinks Carl Crawford is going to be any cheaper than Jason Werth ... I mean no rational person, given a choice between the two, goes for Jason Werth. Crawford hits, runs, plays defense and has shown some power. Werth is a nice player - and a couple of years older, too.
Now when Beltre's price goes up, Sox fans can say hello to their new starting 3B. Its their old backup SS: Jed Lowrie.
Fucking makes me want to puke.
:bad: He wants $160 mil for 8 years and the Sox couldn't /wouldn't complete that signing ???????????
That's Theo and his Bullshit years crap .......the guy should be good for 8 years !!!!!!
Theo SUX
-
Where's Dan? I think he'd be shouting from the rooftops. If the Sox also land Carl Crawford, they're back in the game. Geez, they may be back in the game now. Not liking this.
Great day For Red Sox Fans !!!!, It's all Red Sox talk right now (in the face of the upcoming pats/Jets game)
on EEI proving that this is a Baseball Town always has been ,always will be.

It figured to happen given that their official offer started at 2 years. The Tigers demonstrated that "respect" = dollars and V-Mart went for it.
My guess is that the Red Sox make some sort of big move involving a bat, particularly Gonzales from San Diego, who knows they can't afford him and ought to get more for him now than at the trade deadline. They certainly can't go into next season without someone to approximate V-Mart's production.
I'm so surprised that the media guys here in Boston never saw this coming ,I am telling ya these guys on Comcast Sportsnet (whatever it's called?) know shit about baseball and that includes Framingham Lou.
Friggin' Merloni was flabbergasted by this ....Pitchers had a higher ERA and hitters a higher BA when V-Mart (stupid nickname) was behind the plate.
The Red Sox have money to spend they just didn't want give it to him....you had to see this coming when they only offered him 2 years at the beginning.
-
How could the Red Sox let Victor Martinez go the Tigers? Dan?
I could of told you that the Sox were not interested in resigning Martinez.
They had their chances back in Spring training and during the season , I think one report had the Red Sox offering him a 2 year deal back in August.
The problem with Martinez is that the Sox feel he may give them 2 years behind the plate and then 2 years as a DH
and they would end up over spending for a DH.
I say they stick with Jarrod Saltalamacchia with Tek as a back up /tutor.....
Now they need to replace their #3 hitter with Carl Crawford.

More reasons to be royally pissed off at the baseball gods.
The funny thing about the baseball gods is that despite an injury riddled season and
not having Youk & Pedroia it all comes down to Papelbon,Take away his 7 BLOWN saves and the Sox are leading in the wild card race!
That is kinda amazing...still think that Francona should be voted manager of the year.

You are right that was a great night of baseball, but lets face it if the Yankees played all
their regulars and put MO in at the end , the Rays would have lost too.
What about Crawford, he can't catch that ball?
Manny could!
Seriously,Crawford may be the best all round athlete on the club and he dives for the ball as if it's a hand grenade.
