...but not as big. The Red Sux fans sounded flat and disinterested. You could almost sense a big "Wait, who? Why are we booing?" from the crowed and it quickly died away.

Michael Kay explained the situation accurately that Tex wanted to be a Yankee and eagerly bolted from the Red Sox offer once the Yankees updated theirs.

Then the color analyst (it wasn't Singleton) said that the Red Sox boos clearly lacked the personal touch that came from Baltimore. He said that this Sox crowed sounded more like a "business boo" rather than from the heart.

MLB.com, in its effort to force-feed the "greatness" of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry down our throats, set people up to think otherwise.

Mark Teixeira dug in for his first road at-bat of the season to a chorus of lusty boos, but the tidal waves of insults seemed to die down by the end of the Yankees' series with the Orioles earlier this month.

Teixeira should expect no such pass when the Yankees enter Fenway Park for a three-game series this weekend, the slugger's first experience in the game's most intense rivalry. After spurning Boston to sign an eight-year deal in New York, Teixeira can get used to icy receptions on Yawkey Way.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
