A 'standup guy'? Even if he had a lack of passion he was rather selfish to just give up on the team. He could have been even more of a standup guy by keeping his mouth shut and finishing the season for the team.

And becoming a hypocrite by expecting his players to show passion on the field when he has none himself?
 
Wow, nobody has written on this thread for 2 days?!?!

So much news, Yankees won, A-rod hit his 29th homer. Red Sox lost.

Twins and Sox had an insanely high scoring game. 34 runs between them. And in the second game, managed to shut out the Sox 12-0.
 
more good news, mutts are on a big losing streak and we are on our way to a third win in a row...i think we will finally overtake the muts...blasted asb.

and btw, i hate the asg, the nl never wins, and why doesn't mlb just make the al have home field every year from now on? if not, we get the next decade of hfa...grr.
 
A-Rod also tied with Lou Gehrig with 493 HR's.

Junior tied Frank Robinson with 586.

I would have loved to see Coco hit a second grand slam from the other side of the plate last night. It's only been done once before, by Bill Mueller, which was also during a game at Fenway.



Also, the Red Sox are still the only team in the AL East above .500. :p
 
Oki got named to the all-star team yesterday after winning the final internet vote. :D

So six Sox are going. It should be 7 though. Youk wasn't even on the ballot. :(
 
The Red Sox will not keep up the pace they are on all season long. I am not worried yet. If at the All Star break the Yankees are 8 behind Boston then I will worry. Once the Yankees get on a role the hitting and pitching will fall into place.

Are you worried yet?:p Where's that Yankee's rolllllll????

Yankees took 2 of 3 from LA, giving them a 12-0 beating today. While the Red Sox got swept in Detroit, I will take 10 back at the all star break. Do I want to be closer, yes but at the moment I have to be able to live with where we are and hope the Red Sox struggles continue.:)
 
Burhle got another four years as a black sock.

Well... I guess that means we won't be acquiring him as a third starter. :mad:

Losing 3 in a row isn't a big deal when we had won the 4 before them.
 
Was he ever rumored to be going to the Braves, I thought the Red Sox were the front runners?:confused:

There was talk on our end, there was an article in the AJC (Atlanta Journal Constitution) as well as a mention on the braves site. It's known we need another starter, and he was the best on the (very slim) market.
 
Well give yourself a pat on the back. That is not what I was talking about. Losing 3 in a row is not something to just brush away.
That's the truth. It's an indicator that something's not right under the hood. STL has lost 3 in a row four times, 4 in a row once and 5 in a row once, this season. They may never see .500 ball this year.
 
just give the al home field forevermore. i'm done with the all star game.

i hope peavy starts the all star game.

edit: he's starting the game, along with dan haren. good.

Are we going to get started on the fact that its an exhibition game that counts?
 
And the Yankees should know more than anybody about losing three or more in a row...:rolleyes::rolleyes: Such promise there in the Bronx..

Umm...ok? And your point is...? :rolleyes:

Thanks for pointing out that the Yankees have lost 3 games, Captain. If you read my post, no where do I state "The Yankees have never lost 3 games in a row." Instead, I said "losing 3 games is not something to brush off." Which it seems like you did.

Heaven forbid I say something terrible about the "Godly" Red Sox. Get over it.
