Good day to be VP of the Swish fan club.
I’m trying to recruit whozat to be an officer as well.
As Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Evil Empire, I’d like to point out that I’m an unnamed (but voting) member of the executive officer’s board of every player fanclub.

Just hope he’s not scared off by the terrible instincts and defense. And speaking of that, all of the people who were up in arms because of 2 or 3 mad plays that were magnified because they came within a few games of each other, will they now push for a GG for Swish?
Only if I can be the Minority Whip.
That line by Swisher was great.
“If I were ice cream, I’d be rocky road.”
Classic.
So… about the Great Boston Whitewash…
When is someone in the mainstream media going to say something? Bill Simmons is the only person that will even joke about it.
Whowhat?
Meh, for all the stuff about all the white guys in Boston, here’s the titans of the Boston Sports Scene in recent memory:
Tom Brady (check)
Bill Belicheck (yup)
Tedy Bruschi (he’s half Italian, so… kinda check)
Kevin Millar (fan favorite, sure)
Josh Beckett (okay)
Papsmear (can’t get much whiter than that)
Kevin Youkilis (he’s an actual Neanderthal, that counts)
Dustin Pedroia (Leprechaun, he’s good)
Varitek (NO HITTAZ!!!!!)
Terry Francona (that works)
but, all these guys are or were probably bigger than everyone above (outside of Brady)
Randy Moss
Rodney Harrison
Willie McGinest
Kevin Garnett
Ray Allen
Paul Pierce
Rajon Rondo
Doc Rivers
Manny Ramirez
David Ortiz
Pedro Martinez
Nomar Garciaparra
Taco Bellsbury
Mo Vaughn
I once told Boston fans on a message board that the Red Sox had a lot of white players and they proceeded to call me an ass hole and a racist and pointed out to me that Jason Bay was Canadian.
Priceless.
Because when I think of Canada, the last thing I think of is white people. The very last thing.
The only thing I associate with Canada is Jarome Iginla and Kardinal Ofisshal.
Canadians aren’t white! They’re French!
DUH!!!
Plus we have Uncle David!!
I’m with you. I only think of Sharon Bruneau and Jodie Resther.
Gee I wonder y CC Sabathia didn’t wanna go there.
We offered more money?
Wow I can’t believe I’m defending Boston. That’s a first.
Did Boston even offer him any money? I think theres a little too much grasping at straws going on here.
In fact I think the Yanks were the only ones who made CC an offer.
No, the Brewers, Angels, and Giants did as well. I’m pretty sure Boston wasn’t a factor at all.
Either way.
why would Boston offer him money when they have the best rotation that ever existed?
Offishal.
“We are,murder-ah…M.C. kill-ah…(murder,she wrote…)”
Who cares if they have a lot of any race?
The idea is to create the best team, not the most racially balanced one.
It stopped looking like a coincidence about 18 months ago.
My guess is coincidence.
They have a very good team in Boston, I don’t think they’re trying to avoid signing other races.
Sorry. Much as I hate the Sox, I think everybody’s making something out of nothing.
KG is a God in Boston. Mo/Pedro/Manny/Nomar all were until the Sox brass ripped them on the way out. And everyone LOVES Moss.
I’m not talking about whether the city has a race problem. I’m talking about the Red Sox.
Remember when people killed Isiah Thomas for making that comment about Bird years back.
I kinda got what he was saying.
People killed Isiah because it was a completely idiotic comment more than they killed it for being a racial comment. If Bird was black/white/red/green/blue he’s a top 5-10 player of all time.
Rosenthal addressed in October, but not much was made out of it. Of course they then went out and signed Smoltz/Penny/Baldelli.

OK, which one of you mothers wants a piece of me, huh?!?
Even your name seems obnoxious. It would just be the icing on the cake as a vindictive Yankee fan if you keep your job.
MY JOB?? Omar works for ME!!!! I make one phone call and Omar is DONE!
AND TELL THAT LITTLE BITCH K-ROD TO SHUT HIS BITCH MOUTH!! LESS BITCHING AND MORE PITCHING!!!
*Yawns*
You know who Jose Coronado is, don’t you? Look it up.
Bring it on, mother effer.
and another thing GET YOUR SORRY MOTHERF**KING A** OUT OF MY SEAT C***SUCKER!!! I WILL RIP THAT SEAT OUT OF THE GROUND AND BEAT YOUR A** WITH IT!!!
Right after this inning is over, Chief.
sox not only got laroche for two low prospects but also got some potential value for lugo in chris duncan. made the bench better.
I think Laroche is better than Duncan.
Yup. Two nice trades for them. Maybe that will help them lock up the wildcard.
I’ll have to take your word for it… Number 2…
I don’t think there was anything wrong with what Mike said.
He said the bench improved because of the trades. And it has.
Didn’t say they were differencemakers or anything.
Duncan’s being assigned to AAA.
LaRoche might prove to be a positive pickup, though he’s hardly an earth-shattering acquisition in any sense, but the Lugo trade was basically a matter of getting anything at all before Lugo would decline his assignment and become a free agent.
Really, these trades a big load of nothing for all involved.
In other news, Senior VP Mark Newman Cursed out the Double A team Thunder and especially Star prospect Jesus Montero and called him a “Pussy ass bitch”
Then Newman ripped off his shirt and reportly said “What your gonna do, when Mark Newman gets the ass whipping on you, what your gonna do, when Mark Newman gets heavy on you Brother”
IETC.
What did he have to say about Melvin?
Actually, Melvin lost today. Did you not feel the collective sadness of the World around 3:30 today?
It is a depressing day today in Daytona Beach. I may change my name to “Andy in Rainy Florida”, the rainy part, of course, being my tears.
Oh, I can just see this right now. Can’t you just see this guy-
http://www.sjcsc.org/clip_image003.gif
..ripping off his shirt and challenging 6′4″ Montero to a fight?
But Montero is not athletic or agile enough to handle catching, how’s he gonna handle Mark Newman?
Knick fans: Miller or Sessions? Bring back D. Lee? Any other sign and trade ideas?
Mike Vick.
Sesssions. Unless lees making say 5 a year, i say trade him. anything more is grossly overpaying.
Agreed. I’d rather not have Lee clogging up 2010 cap room. He’s a nice player, but not $8M a year nice.
So the Sox have interest in Victor Martinez (no surprise)
What would it take for them to land him anyways?
Lot more then they want to give up. Probably Mr. I steal Laptops and Lars Anderson with another prospect from the low minors.
According to Sox fans Buchholz is the most untouchable prospect in all of sports.
Bucholz. Bill Simmons posted several reasons why he’s pissed they won’t give up Bucholz for V-Mart, all pretty valid. Did you know Clay will be 25 in less than month??
I think we should make Bucholz a curse word.
Go Bucholz yourself.
Yeah, that works.
or “Hey! Get back here with my laptop!!!”
I was thinking like:
“The Yankees are gonna get creamed today.”
“Bucholz! We’re better than this team!”
How about Clay Fuckholz?
I can see where the sox won’t trade Buchholz for V-Mart. For starters V-Mart is a FA soon and might not stick at catcher.
Speaking of which, Montero will be 27 when Tex’s contract runs out. So if he can’t stick at catcher as he gets older, Tex isn’t an issue.
Unless Tex is still producing at a high level (bet he is). In which case, I hope he sticks at catcher.
Yeah, but if Montero is already acclimated at the C position, why move him. Unless his couple years as catcher was putrid, I don’t think you move Montero cuz of his potential production as a catcher. All he has to be is avg defensively as a catcher.
Simmons’ reasoning:
Explanation for CB-VM: 1) Not sold on Buchholz. Worry about his mental makeup in Boston. Turns 25 next mth. Selling high cuz of AAA stats.
2)Can’t make the 2009 WS without another quality bat. Throwing away wide-open season otherwise. Have to give up something to get something.
3) 1.5 years of VM = switch-hitting OBP/power, C/1B flex + FANTASTIC clubhouse guy. Handshakes for each teammate! 2 No. 1’s when he leaves.
They already rejected Buchholz for V-Mart, per Gammons.
I love how the Sox have more pitching depth but Dice K is on the Dl because he sucked, Wake is on the DL now and while he has a ton of victories he has a era+ of 108, Smoltz hasn’t pitched well at all.
Well, that’s because Bucholtz is a sure thing.
Only Yankee prospects struggle in their first few seasons. The Red Sox prospects hit the ground running, and have no adjustement period. That’s because Theo is brilliant, and Brian Cashman wouldn’t know a pitcher if one fell on him.
Rosenthal’s headline today:
“Buchholz gives BoSox ace in the hole”
5.35 career ERA=Ace in the hole?
1 no hittah!
Anibal Sanchez 4.12 career ERA and 1 no hittah!
Bud Smith 4.95 career ERA and 1 no hittah!
Jonathan Sanchez 5.06 career ERA and 1 no hittah!
Talk about aces in the hole!!!
I still have hope for Sanchez to reach his full potential.
Me too, since the Sox traded him I hope he goes on to win 5 Cy’s.
And I hope we get him in a lightning in a bottle type trade and he wins five cy youngs for US.
Don Larsen had a prefect game and a below five hundred record for his (short) career.
no hitters in general aren’t really indicative of much
Number of no hitters:
Hideo Nomo–2
Roger Clemens, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Mike Mussina, Johan Santana, and Roy Halladay combined–0
But he’s a the greatest pitching prospect ever.
that means Sergio Mitre is an ace in the hole.
How could I be so stupid!
“Chaos doesn’t work for the New York Yankees!” ~ Seinfeld
I hope the rangers can pull off the S-word today.
http://tinyurl.com/m9zeuk
I want the Rangers to shit all over the Red Sox too!
I changed my mind. I hope the Red Sox go Bucholz themselves.
I hope they do both.
Sox game starts in 2 minutes. On ESPN.
Ooooh, Rick Sutcliffe one of the announcers.
This should be a real treat. I’m gonna learn a lot about Baseball tonight.
That’s right.
David Phelps finally promoted to Tampa.
Is that the guy who was caught smoking a bong?
He could go take his gold medals and Bucholz himself with them.
and Buchholz hits Kinsler to start the game–well done, Clay
HES GOING FOR A NO HITTAH!
Been there, done that.
yep, i remember
If you didn’t, ESPN would be sure to remind you, like 10 times a day.
Sutcliffe just stabbed his partner in the ribs with a pencil for talking bad about Captain Courageous.
I’m watching the president speak right now and though he firmly believes in what he’s saying/pushing, I feel as though he’s not entirely confident in this speech.
Matt, I love ya buddy but lets not even get anything political started.
Heh, I wasn’t trying to, but, yeah, let’s stop this where it is.
So you’re saying the Prez thinks his speech is Bucholz?
It’s Buchholz.
You’re right. My apologies.
Probably going to fire the Bucholzing writer who wrote it.
Did anyone hear these idiots doing the Red Sox game say that J.D. Drew was one of the most valuable players in the American League?
.236/.360/.446 as an MVP candidate.
Is this the deadball era?
Texas hitters apparently swinging at everything
they’ve been doing that all year
nothing new
Luckily for them they’ve been hitting everything too.
man this nippert kid for the rangers will get murdered soon if he keeps missing spots
rangers just got a double steal
incredible
I love how Suttcliffe is deflecting all blame from Varitek right now.
I think it’s Bucholtz, but Varitek hasn’t thrown anyone out all year. So either way, its not happening.
17%.
But I thought Jorge Posada was the best defensive catcher that ever existed in the history of baseball?
*worst* defensive catcher that ever existed
sutcliffe is a moron, so its not surprising
The announcer just said Vernon Wells was a “terrific player” for a long time. He’s had exactly three seasons w/an OPS+ over 110 and has a career wOBA of under .350.
but people have heard of him, so he must have been.
For awhile there, he was a terrific CF. Now, not so much.
wow
nick green with a mammoth blast
1-0 boston
what the hell? How did Theo get lucky on this guy? He’s been a nobody forever!
seriously, what the buchholz–he hit .240 for the Yankees a couple of years ago
Green had a good month. He’s been Mo awful of late.
ICWUDT
78 OPS+. Was a 75 with the Yankees. He’s the same damn player, and he’s not good.
not watching, be Nick Green is what Cody Ransom should be this year, not fair
ahh Buchholz!! be = but
he’s just a what off? did he say stoche?
HOME RUN RANGERS!!
1-1
ian kinsler
Kinsler!
TIE GAME!
How about AJ Burnett? What a signing. He has been absolutely outstanding and thank God Cashman signed him or we’d be in major trouble. Hopefully the Yankees can take at least 3 of 4 from the A’s before they go on a tough stretch involving some better teams.
agreed
thank the lord for CC and AJ or it would be joba, pettite, ?, ?, ?
The rotation going into the season, w/o them, probably would’ve been:
Wang/Pettitte/Joba/Hughes/…Tomko?
Lowe.
Ugh. Cash definitely made the right choice. It’s a good thing we have a smart man like him running the empire.
Smart man? He could have traded Melky, IPK, a rusty fish hook, a #2 meal at McDonalds and a used frying pan for Johan (and Liriano and Nathan) and turned it down!!
That was a good deal. We would’ve lost Yuse.
aaah forgot about hughes
but i took out wang because he got injured
Taking out Wang isn’t 100% safe you know.
hahahahahahha
I was at the game today, and when Swisher dropped / missed that fly ball, the older gentleman sitting behind me screamed, “This guy is horrible! They need to put Hinske in right!” I’ve never wanted to have a computer at the ready so much in my life.
By the way, two awesome catches later, the words “Eric Hinske” were not uttered by the peanut gallery.
I was there too. Where did you sit?
I sat in the Main section, parallel with the left field foul pole (about where the overhang starts).
A question for you good folks:
As mentioned above, I was at the game and without the benefit of seeing things “close-up” on t.v.. From my perspective, I kept getting the feeling that AJ was really being aggressive against the top / heart of the Orioles order (Jones / Markakis / Huff) but nibbling when he faced the bottom of the order (Zaun, etc.). Would this be an accurate assessment, or was his gameplan essentially the same throughout the order?
meh, he is just inconsistent in general.
Love the pitcher, hate the BB/9
Love the K/9 though!
Umm.
Uhh, guys?
http://web.minorleaguebaseball.....x_gboafx_1
Arbiso? Who is this kid?
A guy who won’t be able to git a no-hitter.
or GET
Must be related to Melvin.
Melvin looked at him once.
Isn’t that what we all dream about?
A 23-year old in Low A Charleston. *Moves on*
wow–successful suicide squeeze
3-1 rangers!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!
a lot of our fans attacked red sox.com last night we took over the red sox blog it was so much fun
Fans of other teams do that on our siteall the time.
It always pissed me off. Those bucholzin’ Red Sox fans had it coming.
Jesus is 2 for 5 with 2 RBI’s.
He’s made 3 outs? Bust. Trade him for Brad Penny.
Ha, like the Sox would even MAKE that deal in a heartbeat and then replace Varitek with him tomorrow…
Oh, wait…
BUST!!!
Francesa seems to think so. But Francesa doesn’t even fucking know his name. If he doesn’t know his name he probably doesn’t know the stats which makes him pathetic. It’s sad he gets his own show. It’s really pathetic.
Okay, playing most of the season with two broken fingers is not smart. If Young wanted to help the team, he would’ve sat the hell out. Sometimes, playing through injury is not a good thing.
BUT HE’S GRITTTTTTY!
Yeah but he gets +1,000,000 for grit and that’s ALL that matters.
http://twitter.com/BreakingNews/status/2789614651
Holy fucking shit.
I fucking hate people sometimes.
+10 000. The world is all messed up these days. Sounds like the girl may have been muslim based on the reaction of the parents( speculation only)
The world is all messed up these days.
I agree.
Sounds like the girl may have been muslim based on the reaction of the parents( speculation only)
Dude, that’s kind of a messed up thing to say.

Why? I’ve never heard rape regarded as shameful for the victim and her family except with regard to radical muslims. I’m open to correction if i’m mistaken..
It’s not uncommon in patriarchal cultures generally – various cultures, various religions. The Islamic world is but one.
Shame is a much more common concept than you’re portraying it to be. There are American Christian families who have disowned girls for being “promiscuous” and provoking attacks against them and “shaming” the family. If they had said that the family felt that she had shamed “Allah”, sure. Otherwise, it’s just too soon to use our own incomplete stereotypical partial-knowledge to guesstimate.
In any event, it was the empty speculation that served no purpose (seriously, what does it matter what religion the victim or her family is) that I thought was ironic since you were decrying how “messed up” the world is just a sentence earlier.
I recognize that the scope of “shame” reactions encompasses more than just islamic societies. Though i think at present times it is most strongly felt within the radical islamic community.
To the best of my knowledge, empty speculation(as i noted it was) is the least of what’s messes up in the world today.
The linked article is almost hard to comprehend and raises huge questions as to the state of our society. (incidentaly, it is the fact that there were several young men involved in a apparently premeditated act that jars me the most)
Perhaps my speculation was out of line.. though i don’t think it was in any way harmful, and i do apologize for that.
I do not, however, agree that keeping everything PC is the proper way to deal with incidents such as this one.
I wasn’t asking you to be PC.
I was asking you to not jump to conclusions, particularly ones that seem irrelevant and superfluous.
In other words, trying to keep sentiments within a prearranged, or preacknowledged, framework = the definition of PC
It’s not about being PC. It’s about not being a dick.
No, not at all.
….that is disturbing
i’m not going to even try to figure out whose fault that is…
Bucholzin’ assholes.
Old friend Jose Veras is performing as he usually does when facing a AL east ream!
pavano got his ass kicked too!
I’m loving this new Boston offense.
Yup. It’s offensive. I can’t wait to see who wins the bet between Jason Bay and Adam LaRoche of who can look the most lost at the plate. Should be fun.
What’s great is when you scroll down the list, for the month of July, you’ve got a few guys like Pedroia, Youk, etc who are OPSing right around 800, and then a BUNCH are like sub-700 and -600 for the whole month. Craptacular!
Boston Red Sox offense, July 2009:
.223/.316/.395
Awesome. Where do you go for team splits, B-R?
(by the way, Pedroia is OPSing over 1.000; I was thinking of Ortiz)
ESPN.com.
You’re leaving out Nancy Drew?
4 tough innings, good job clay. Unparalleled.
Ace in the hole.
/Rosenthal’d
are they really saying that Buchholz did a good job tonight?
If a Yankee youngster made it through only 4 innings with 90+ pitches while giving up 3 runs, there would be no positives taken out of it by MSM broadcasters.
See: Chamberlain, Joba.
He’d be the product of the Yankee Hype Machine.
Clay looks like a crackhead.
http://technicolored.files.wor.....riday2.jpg
http://www.freewebs.com/rihalo.....iggums.jpg
Those guys look like perfectyl normal human beings compared to the shot of buchhy on the bench. He looked heroin chic.
Sorry, pat. Were we not supposed to compare white ball players to black crackheads?
Correct.
He looks like Josh Hamilton– AAAAAAAAAAAAW, TOO SOOOOOOOON????
IETCVM
+100
Haha, back to Commonly Accepted Baseball Related Racial Cross Comparisons 101 for you sir.
Brett Philip Pedroia was arrested Jan. 9 on two counts of oral copulation and lewd acts with a child under the age of 14, all felonies, according to a Woodland Police Department news release
Do you think that Dustin will feel comfortable having his new kid hanging with uncle Brett?
Yes I hate Dustin Pedroia that much!!
ehhh
That’s a fucked up thing to say
what jersey said
dude, have some class
Ditto. Child molestation “humor” is never funny.
And we all agreed amongst ourselves that this story was off-limits for ridicule purposes when it first broke months ago.
yep.. and rightly so
Seriously, not funny. Never has been. When in doubt about bringing this issue up, just don’t do it.
No one can control what their family members do. Blergh.
Wow, Varitek had no shot on that one.
clay bucholz sucks
yeah, i said it
Um, he’s a future ace. Didn’t you get the memo?
Future? He’s an ace in the hole now, didn’t you get the memo?
Impossible. If you are on the Red Sox you are a future Hall of Famer.
ok, THAT one was Tek’s fault
Much like Hulkamania, the Texas Rangers have been runnin’ wild.
Who do they think they are? The Rays?
the rangers will fall off the earth around mid august
Cano with RISP > entire Sox lineup with RISP
(tonight)
Just tuned in. So how was the Sox and their ultimate depth that wins ballgames? Specifically Bucholz and LaRoache if he played?
Ryan Franklin has allowed 3 ER in 35 innings this year.
I definitely just jinxed him
Hey no freaking surprise. Sutcliffe would take Ortiz over the true greatest DH of all-time in Edgar Martinez.
Man, he must have rugburn from all the slobber jobs he gives the Sawx.
Upton with the fielding fail against the White Sox.
The rangers have 6 stolen bases tonight
hilarious
Sutt just said that Ellsbury should try to become a more Ian Kinsler type leadoff hitter. Oh, Rick.
I also enjoyed his disbelief that Ellsbury had hit into ANY DPs this year.
So, all he needs is to move half his games to Arlington? Sounds easy enough.
I don’t think that could even give Ellsbury above league average poewr skills.
It’s worked for Kinsler. Outside of Arlington, Kinsler looks like Pat Kelly.
Jacoby Ellsbury, career (all parks) – 292/.343/.405
Ian Kinsler, career road split – .248/.319/.416
Ian Kinsler, career home split – 314/.383/.535
That play was so awesome the outfielders couldn’t help but hug each other in joy.
That’s what I want to see from Gardner and Swish when we’re robbing Pedroia of hits in August.
Absolutely priceless.
Yeah lovefest!
Man, the White Sox sure have made the 9th inning adventurous the last few nights.
Wow. Papelbon has 0.00 ERA in his All Star appearances?
Put this guy in the HOF now!
Is ESPN really fucking raving on Papelbon? And their point it his 0 ERA in the World Series, perhaps playoffs (didn’t catch it) and ASG. Talking about an extreme SSS and he wouldn’t have a 0 ERA if Crawford didn’t make that great catch. OR WAS PAPELBON SO FUCKING GREAT HE PURPOSELY PUT THE BALL SO HE CAN HIT IT THAT HARD SO HE CAN CATCH IT?!?!?!?
Why don’t you talk about his WHIP…oh wai
and when he’s mad he looks like Chuckie
I especially like when he runs out of the dugout to scream at someone.
Just imagine if we had actually taken a few games from the Sux this year. We’d be sooooo far gone by now.
Go Rangers!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RANGERS.
Red Sox 1-5 against the Rangers? And the Yanks can’t beat playoff caliber teams?
I’m really late to the party but did the Sox really trade Lugo + cash to the Cards for Chris Duncan and a PTBNL?
There goes TSJC’s dream of an all Duncan and Sanchez team?
I did not realize, until tonight, that Sux fans call Nancy Drew Nancy Drew.
They frigging hate him.
Yeah, yeah they do.
MLB.com: I would like an update of the STANDINGS please. NOW.
OMG a team that lost a series at home to the Yanks, SWEPT the Bossux!!
OMG!! The Yankees are contending! The world is going to crumble! The fabric of reality is going to tear!
