There were reports on MLB Radio on XM over the weekend that Henry wants to hire Valentine and Cherrington wants to hire Lamont. It''ll be interesting to see how that plays out. I'm sure Cherrington won't feel too good if he's overridden by ownership on the first major decision to come along. It seems like the drama isn't over up there just yet.

Heidi's leaving the Sox to handle the Lakers both on and off the court

"on AND off"? :shock:

So, Bobby Valentine is our new manager. Hated him as an analyst, but think he brings some good qualities to the table as manager. Thoughts?
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

if he can take a buncha lunch and pail type team to the nlcs and world series, just think bout what he can do with talent. i love this hire by you guys.
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?

reports are, some players are not too happy with the bobby v. hiring. who knows? this cracked me up, tho:
As an ESPN analyst, Valentine has questioned some Red Sox players, notably Josh Beckett. During one Sunday night game, Beckett was pitching against the Yankees in August, Valentine was critical of the time Beckett took between pitches. He estimated that Beckett was taking 30-35 seconds between pitches.
"This is a 2-hour-and-40-minute game so far," Valentine said after Beckett left the game in the sixth. "That's a half-hour added to this game of him standing around and us sitting around watching him do nothing."

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Obviously I am hoping for him to fail but I could see it going either way. I could see him clashing with players and the front office and I could see it working out and them playing great. I read that when he was manager of the Mets he was more interested in OBP than speed at the top of the lineup when that wasn't the way of thinking. He said speed was pointless at the top since they often score on home runs and was more important further down. Interesting to hear about a manager thinking that way when it wasn't the norm.
Interesting that his contract is 2 years and will be ending at the same times as Farrell's
That is seriously horrible. I would be pretty disgusted with your organization if I were you. Dude was the most successful manager you have ever had and thats how he goes out. Fucking embarrassing.
Did you see Heidi was back on NESN yesterday at the Bobby V presser?
I'm so confused. Is she staying or going jimed?
"FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls. Yeah, I get it, you guys invented baseball and suffered forever. I get it." -JearlPam0925
Damn, fellas. You guys are really liking the Yanks 2009 bullpen.
Melancon for Tennessee Jed and Scott Weiland? I like it. Honestly I'm not sold on Dan Bard going to the rotation. Good chance he ends up as the closer with Melancon and Fat Alpers as set up.
Also, love the Shoppach signing. Gonna be sad to see Captek go, but it had to be done. Also, Lavarnway is a great young bat who needs to improve his catching skills before he can assume the role.

Yeah, between Melancon and Aceves, loading up on the 2009 yankes bullpen arms. I still hate the fact Aceves is on that team. Yeah, I'm not too sure on Bard going to the rotation. Not sure how that is going to work out. Didn't he start in the minors for a while and did terribly? I could be thinking of someone else.
Wakefield and "C" are going to be gone. Pretty crazy.
Aceves is a nice bullpen guy too. I like the bullpen post-Pap if we keep Bard out there. We missed out on Buehrle which would have helped the rotation. I still think Clay Buckles has a big season in 2012.
edit: I happen to be watching this Derek Jeter Barbra Walters interview here on ESPN and I gotta say he's gone up about 3 notches in my book the last few days with the recent developments of him giving souvenir tote bags of signed shit as a door prize to his conquests. Amazing.

Aceves is the man. Going to be a starter next year as of now, right? Gotta hope the lap top stealer has a big season. You guys need him.
Yessir :thumbup: As I mentioned in the Yankees thread, that is by far the greatest thing I have ever heard. Just when I thought I couldn't like the guy more, I go and read about him giving signed baseballs to chicks. It does not get better than that. Nope. Case closed, he is an American Hero. How many dads in the NY Metro Area are now looking at their signed Jeter baseballs they got from their daughter for Christmas or Fathers day, wondering where the hell their daugther got it?
I see Aceves as the hybrid guy that we need. I think he'll be effective starting or in the pen. And I think even if Theo's expressing interest in Wake, if his back feels ok, he'll be back with the Sox on another one year deal.

Sox spring training tickets went on sale today. Ended up getting cheap seats for 5 games.
Twins
Rays
Orioles
Cardinals
Marlins
All games at the new Fenway South at JetBlue Park. I live about 5 miles from the new stadium, so that's pretty convenient. I'm going to try to score some Sox @ Twins tickets when they go on sale.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Oh and nice job countering the Yanks big moves Friday with a big signing of Padilla.
The Yankees moves were just "eh" though
