It's not as good as "beer and chicken in the clubhouse" but it's an equally asinine red herring that Boston fans will no doubt fully embrace.

I can't wait to hear this mentioned year after year just like the curse of the Bambino used to be mentioned year after year.

Central Park is a ridiculously difficult place to ride without incident, so his admitting he shouldn't have been on his phone is probably the understatement of the year.

I.e., it was a high-leverage situation--and we all know what Booby's decision-making is like in those.

As they say, you can't make this stuff up. I wish the OH had a cartoonist to jump on this.

Man, if Bobby V missed tonight's game, I think the Sox would play as hard as possible to win one without him there, just to shove it in his face!

Please don't go....please don't go...

He crashed his bike yesterday and it didn't keep him from managing last night.

According to the TV news here, he swerved to avoid two tourists (while reading a text message). Wonder if the "tourists" are on Duquette's payroll....

This is the event that proves that teams take after the managers. As Bobby V. crashes, so do the Red Sox.

Yes, it did.

Or maybe I just assumed it was a manager-less team that sent up a .109 hitter who was 2 for 35 against righties in the 11th inning with the tying run on second.

I wish his bike crashed into Joe Girardi.

Nah, it said,"think fast! sucker!". I love it that the messge was from Pedroia. Too bad it wasn't from Youk. :smile11:

      Is it too early (and possibly too crazy) to suggest that they may be a better road team than they are at home?

      Moves in the near term

      I'm not very high on Giolito. How much better does he really make us? I would prefer to have a starter who can truly match up with the McClanahans, Coles, deGroms, Ryans, etc of the world. Otherwise, I think we are a long shot at best to win 1 round let alone 3.  In addition, he's an FA at the end of the year so he does nothing to help us solve this problem next year. If we are going to make a trade I would prefer that we don't try to address the gaping hole with a small bandaid, because despite our rich org prospect depth and talent, we don't have the pitching to project to have a talent edge on our competitors next year or beyond. I guess the same thing that applies to Giolito applies to Flahrety and Montgomery from STL IMO. They are not really tangibly better than what we have. I don't want any of those guys as my game 1/7 starter.  With the reserve/over abundance of org talent that we currently posses, I would prefer to fish for the cream of the crop as opposed to closer to the bottom of the barrel. IMO there's no reason to go cheap now in terms of what we are willing to give up to get the true difference making piece for the next few years.

      Trade targets: Starters and Bullpen

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      The reds are probably ready to compete next season so i doubt they will want to move a cost controlled top level back end bullpen guy.  The one thing they would want even if he was available would most likely be pitching prospects as they are built like us with young depth in position players.

      Chapman is one of the last people on the planet I want walking into our clubhouse.  We don't need a cancer like him.

      I think the rotation will do find versus contending team.  It has so far.   I think other then Gibson the O's rotation is inexperienced not untalented.   All pitchers are inexperience before they actually do it on the field.   For every  Cobb that the team does not hit there is a Bieber that they hit well against.
