Cherished important information, a number thank you for this author. A unique bewildering opinion straight away, but nonetheless , on the entire, the very efficacy as well as plus points will be frustrating. Absolutely many thanks and outstanding great!

Ill usually dont agree with yankee fans but your %100 right about everything you said

This is a bad move by the redsox. And Theo Epstien should be taking alot of the blame for the problems this team is having. If he was a GM with any average team in baseball he would be a laughing stock. He has made way to many BAD Deals in the last 4 years but they get covered up by going out and over paying for a replacement. The problem with the Redsox is in upper management and unless they fix it that clubhouse isnt gonna change for any manager that comes in here in the future

ChefSalad  he won two world series championship.....2007 and 2004.  If you are going to sound like a know it all... be correct 


Hey clown.  No crap.  I wasn't the one who said he only won 1.  I was quoting somebody else you fool.  See how I put your comment in bold type?

See K. Williams, Chicago White Sox for a very strong contender.

Peoplewillcome (and others), I fully agree with your sentiment. Unfortunately, the best way of dealing with the posters who are not here for insight is to simply and completely ignore them. They will be gone just as quickly as they came without reinforcement. With regard to your baseball post, I disagree on one note. Boston's pitching was really no better coming into the season then the Yankees in my opinion. They did get a bounce back from Beckett and Lester was as advertised and yes Bucholtz got hurt. Beyond that, there never was anything else there. Dice-K and Lackey were two awful signing as bad as Burnett. But everyone seen the flashy signing of Crawford (that will be an albatross on their team) and instantly they were the darlings of the pre-season. Not surprised how this all unfolded and Epstein should be the one removed........ 

I'm a Yankees fan and I want to commend - and commiserate with - a Red Sox fan, Canespanther, for his comment about idiotic posts and Administrators needing to step in.  CP - I'm with ya.  On this page alone, there's a Francona ouster who talks about Francona and "rings" and forgets that the only recent rings the Sox won were with Francona at the helm.  That's idiotic ignorance.  Then there's the Fat boy - I won't even bother worrying about the full name, 'cause I won't waste another second in the vicinity of his post.  He's simply inconsequential (except for the space he wastes.)

Sad truth is that guys like those are out here 'cause life, to them, is a pathetic attempt at getting acknowledgment (they can't actually be seeking validation can they?) with their assinine posts.

Sad for you and me, CP, 'cause we gotta wade through crap like that in the hopes of seeing something that *DOES* show some baseball knowledge and *IS* worth reading.

Anyway, my two cents on the baseball situation here: IMO, Epstein ain't quite as bad as some have made him out to be - when the pitching rotation, and your third baseman and your rightfielder, etc. get bit by the injury bug - and the pen goes south come September at least in part  because of the rotation woes - you can't blame the GM; not for *all* of that.  You especially can't blame the manager.  Francona was good enough to take the the team to the top twice in four seasons after and 86-year drought and he's a flat-out savvy baseball guy from a baseball family.

Yeah, I smirked at the end result - Boston done for the season; I am, as I said, a Yankees fan.  But I also think I know, after almost 50 years of attentive - and construtive - fandom, that the whole of the AL East got *lucky* this year that they didn't have to face a healthy Sox team.  I'll say this - Crawford underperformed and Gonzalez tarnished a great season with the whine about night games.  This winter, Sox need to go after arms and think about how much more they are gonna get out of Poppy and Drew.  Reyes would be an awesome upgrade at short, but after the crap he pulled with "The Bunt heard round the World", I hope neither the Sox nor the Yanks think he's worthy of being in their organizations.  (Reyes is also gonna decline quickly with the constant hammy problems)

That's about all for now - except to say... Canespanther, you and I are destined to be in the minority amongst the volume posting to this site because a) we care about baseball - and b) have literacy quotients that aren't dwarfed by the average third-grader.

Take care. 

Absoluty rediculous, Now I am upset they extended Acta contract in Cleveand.  Would love to have Francoa
