Pushing team officials? thats just Manny being Manny

Just one week after Houston Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon fought General Manager Ed Wade, we hear of another baseball player shoving team officials around. This time it was Boston Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez. Manny reportedly pushed the teams traveling secretary, Jack McCormick, to the ground in an argument over free tickets. The Red Sox don’t seem to be taking this to seriously, but shouldn’t they? Let’s look at the incident. Read more

Papi season rests in a cast

Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz is now sporting a massive cast on his injured left arm. The currently injury is a partially torn ECU tendon sheath in his left wrist, and the hope is this cast will avoid season-ending surgery. If the cast does its job, Big Papi could be thinking about playing ball again in early July, if not then its ut-oh! Read more

Red Sox youth: Show me the money!

The New York Yankees young players have told management SHOW ME THE MONEY!! Oh wait a minute, I’m sorry the Boston Red Sox young players have told management SHOW ME THE MONEY! Got caught up there so used to it being the Yankees players wanting money. The Boston Herald reports that Jonathan Papelbon and Dustin Pedroia have no intentions of following the path of youngsters around the league. That path? Many young budding superstars have been signing very team friendly deals instead of dealing with arbitration, and the first years of free agency. Read more

Schilling, we dont want you in NY!

No surprise here people, the rumors have started about Curt Schilling playing for the New York Yankees next year so he could stick it to the Boston Red Sox. Well, I’m here to tell you who cares what he says, no Yankees fan would want him!!! Lets first look at whats true and whats not, before I get into the rant.

This all started after Schilling’s surgeon, Dr Craig Morgan, went on radio shows in Philadelphia and Boston to talk about his progression with the shoulder. Remember, there was the huge debate between the Sox and Schilling on if surgery was needed. Morgan originally said if he did surgery he could of had him back by the All-Star Break, the Red Sox say rehab was all that was needed. Now it looks like the argument is between Morgan and Schilling.

“[Schilling] called me when he was angry about a month ago and was having recurrent pain, and said ‘Listen, I want to pitch again next year,’ and [would consider] the possibility of the [Yankees] option,” Dr. Craig Morgan told Boston sports radio station WEEI 850 AM this morning. “He didn’t say he was going to do it, he didn’t do any of that. I think it was in part of anger.” In response, “Me wearing pinstripes, regardless of what point of the season or my career it would have been, is not an option,” said Schilling, who is currently on the 60-day disabled list with a biceps/right shoulder injury. “I can’t … think back to having that conversation specifically … it’s not an option. Never has been an option.”

I’m done with the rumors and truth about Schilling, I want to rant! I will tell you this, NOOOOOOO Yankees fan in their right mind would ever want to see Schilling in pinstripes, opening up the new Yankee Stadium. In my opinion, now that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are gone, Curt is the biggest jerk off in the game. It’s a fact, he’s got an opinion about everything and has to let the entire world know it. And just like those two, I wouldn’t believe many words that come out of his mouth. Now Red Sox fans, you’re going this just a bitter Yankees fan, and I’ll say no it’s not. I live in Philadelphia and couldn’t stand the guy even when he was here, in Arizona or now Boston. I’ll give him credit he’s a top 5 pitcher in the last 15 years, thats without a doubt but we still would never want him residing in the Bronx. And at least for me, thats before that bloody freakin sock!

Sox fans, Yankees fans comment on this one! Let me know what you think.

Curse attempt foiled

So much for the buried David Ortiz jersey underneath the new Yankees Stadium. Team officials had the concrete in the visitors clubhouse dug up to find the jersey. Two supervisors found the jersey Saturday and removed it from the ground. The jersey was buried underneath 2 feet of concrete. The team plans on donating the jersey to charity, where it could command a premium price with this rivalry.

Now for that Boston Red Sox fan who decided to act like a moron. Team officials are considering a lawsuit against the construction worker. Any lawsuit would most likely include all costs to dig and remove the concrete, as well as relaying the concrete and of course additional charges to get more money. Hope your attempt at being funny costs you a decent amount of money, idiot!

Colon to join Sox soon

Bartolo Colon’s impressive start at AAA-Pawtucket on Thursday has earned him a trip to the bigs, in a couple weeks that is. Boston Red Sox manager, Terry Francona said the pitcher will join the team once he’s ready. The team wants to stretch Colon out to about 100 pitches before calling him up. His last start he only threw 74. So essentially, he is in extended spring training but against much tougher opponents.

Francona and pitching coach John Farrell spoke with Colon recently and a plan was worked out between the three. Colon will throw about 85 pitches in his 2nd start, then hopefully be stretched out to 100 in his 3rd. If everything with his body is feeling good after the 100-pitch start, the Red Sox will call him up to the bigs.

The Red Sox have numerous pitchers coming off the DL over the next 2 weeks. Josh Beckett, Mike Timlin and the fore mentioned Colon. That means three pitchers will be losing their jobs and be sent back to the minors or put on waivers. The most likely candidates for demotion include Javier Lopez, Bryan Corey, David Aardsma and Kyle Snyer. All four have no options left thou so would have to clear waivers to be sent down. Another option is Clay Buchholz, if he struggles over the first 3 weeks you may see him sent back down for more seasoning once Colon is ready.
