No pitching and bats? Excuse me? The team as it was at the start of the season is pretty much the same team that at this time last year was predicted to go to the World Series.

Add to that statement that I believe that he’s now throwing the job. He can double the crankiness and anger and just be fired while collecting on his contract. He knows what he’s doing now that the...

Actually, the comment is far from brilliant and has a lot wrong with it. He missed a comma after the word bullpen. The second sentence is a fragment and lacks a verb. The third sentence is a real mess....

Really throws Pedroia under the bus in at the 10 minute mark when he says “his effort wasn’t what was needed to pull this club together.”

I know it’s like watching a train wreck, but I honestly am tired of it. And yeah, I see your point. I’m just surprised at the lack of schadenfreude today. I’m a NY fan and I expected to see some...

This is who the man is, who he’s ALWAYS been. NO ONE who ever worked for or with him has ever had a good word to say about him, at ESPN, the Mets, Japan, now Boston. He’s a sneering, contemptuous,...

Valentine did what someone needed to do in Boston this year. The management and owners didn’t have the backbone to be the bad guy. Now, Bobby is the bad guy, they can cut ties with him, and still bring...

I don’t know that the team’s performance is mostly his fault, but it should have been obvious that he was not the man for the job. He doesn’t not profile as a manager (baseball or otherwise) of...

‘burg, I mostly agree, BUT the missing comma in the first sentence (after “bullpen”) is a matter of style. Now if there was set style on this blog for the Oxford Comma, or of this was APA which demands...

Man, a lot if u people bashing Bobby V. are truly idiots that evidently don’t know what’s going on. See, when team owners bring in a manager that is just that, a manger, not their buddy, most teams...

It would help if you had listened to the interview first. A person who has an 8 AM job, who one morning wants to pick up a relative at the airport, who then arrives at the airport to discover the...

Not sure I buy the importance of not coaching in the majors. However, “voice for newspaper” was awesome!

Insubordinate of WHOM? Did you hear him laying any blame on John Henry or Larry Lucchino or Tom Werner or Ben Cherington? Yeah, he said he would have preferred to have a little more insight into some...

That same best manager the club ever had also admitted that he was burnt out on the job and that he needed a break, so, yeah while someone leaked some vague reference to pain-killer usage – we still...

Cur, the nuns drilled into my head that I should use a comma prior to a conjunction in a series of three or more items, and nursing school required APA style. You are right though; there is some...

Ha! Thanks for the moral support I hate to say it, but I feel like this is an example of groupthink. It’s like it no longer matters which facts are true or not. A consensus of baseball pundits and fans...

“not unfairly, I don’t think” Possibly a record for the number of negatives in five words. It translates to “Not not fairly, I do not think.” It’s easy to lose track, but I think Craig doubled back...
