Time to eliminate the Forte passing play

I'm hoping for a tie.

That sounds like a high school stat line. The next four weeks will be fun when they face the Jets, Chargers, Vikings, and Bears.

Well, that was special.

Yay, an outfielder. That's exactly where our top priority should be. Depends on how ready you feel Brett Jackson is for mlb. Whether or not Jackson is ready shouldn't stop them from looking out outfielders. If they do go after Cespedes, then you could easily see an outfield of Soriano-Jackson-Cespedes with Byrd being traded.

The only two scandals that really come anywhere near similar to this (and it's still a huge gap) are Bliss/Baylor basketball murder and Gary Barnett/Colorado multiple supposed rapes, including the rape of the female place kicker, and in both of those there were recruitment violations to go along with the scandal. Colorado was placed on two years' probation, fined $100,000 and lost one football scholarship for the next three seasons. Baylor: So I could see Paterno(won't matter anyways), McQueary, and anyone else implicated facing show-cause penalties. But as to punishment to PSU, that's anyone's guess.

that was anti-climatic.

Joe Frazier has died.

Please start actually covering the deep threats. There is no reason not to.

Barber was a good signing.

The team's completely shoved its collective head up its ass. Run it three times and go to halftime, all your going to do now is give up more points.

Just stand and watch the play. I hate cover-2 sometimes.

Why has Martz turned into a coward?

HA! [expletive] you refs!

What the [expletive] was bickell doing on that?

Good lord tlr has lost it

Carpenter is missing his spots with his fastball. Hopefully the Rangers can keep taking advantage of this.

I spent the post-2003 offseason arguing that aramis ramirez actually sucked when he came over because of his lackluster OBP. I was in favor of the Choi for Lee trade, even though I liked Choi a lot. 2002 Aramis Ramirez was the worst cleanup hitter in modern history. He was also playing on one leg, but that didn't stop Lloyd McClendon. He needed that bat in the Pirates' lineup if they were going to get a playoff spot. I read that and thought, huh, the article is from 2008. I bet someone in Seattle has beaten that in the last 3 years. I was right. Jose Lopez 2010 (OPS+: 71) as 4th place batter: 377 PA .239/.263/.339 for an OPS of .602. 26 XBH. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lopezjo01.shtml

[expletive] finally

This may be one of the luckiest pitching performances I've watched in a long time. This game could easily be a blowout

I think it does, but the question is if there is enough evidence to overturn.

What Kevin Goldstein fails to understand is that while refusing to let Epstein go gives Boston the appearance of leverage, it is only real leverage if they truly want to keep him. Clearly, they don't. They let Theo interview, and they will be paying Theo 6.5 to 7 million dollars to be a lame duck GM for one more year all after effectively naming Cherington their new GM. Theo would then leave next season, and presumably take the generous offer from the Cubs, while Boston would be out the 6.5 to 7 mil. So long as Ricketts is willing to wait a year to get his man, the Sox hold none, NONE, of the cards at this poker table. PR wise, it's an easy out for the Cubs. We have to wait a year for our "savior" because the Red Sox are being f*#@wads about this. Instead of mortgaging a decent part of the Cubs future, we'll call their bluff. However, this is a PR nightmare for Boston. They are already looking like an organization in disarray after a bad September collapse, firing their manager, leaks about what was going on in the clubhouse, apparently bad mouthing of Francona and Epstein, and then keeping Epstein around for one pointless season at the expense of 6.5 to 7 million bucks. If Ricketts isn't willing to wait a year to begin rebuilding and for some reason feels the need to get this done, then he will cave, and then and only then, does Boston have any leverage. But if Ricketts is willing to call their bluff, Boston will fold like a piece of origami. Boston's choice is clear. Accept something reasonable in exchange for Theo or pay him big bucks for a very uncomfortable year and then let him walk for nothing. I could easily see Josh Byrnes being named GM this year, and next year having Theo be named President if this does happen. I wouldn't be surprised if this is what the plan is now, Theo being named President and hiring Byrnes to be "GM."

What is this holding penalty they just called?
