Theo has apparently completed the Wagner trade, landing Wagner for a couple of prospects.  Wagner agreed to waive his no-trade on the condition that the Sox don’t pick up his option (but they are allowed to offer arbitration), which if he declines they have a good chance at landing two compensation picks.  Wagner can only [...]

To be fair, I thought Theo was a great GM.  I stand corrected.
 Joe and I did discuss Cano this weekend.  He looks like a lazy player.  Joe D was also labeled as such because of his grace playing centerfield.  But Joe D did not make stupid errors or not run hard out of the box.  [...]

You mean Theo Epstein isn’t perfect? What?!?!?!
New Englanders have for years waxed poetic on Theo.

“Oh, Theo is so smart!”
“Oh, Theo always has a plan!”
“Oh, Theo secretly exited in a  monkey disguise! He’s so clever.”
“Oh, Theo plays guitar!”
“Oh, Theo is so persuasive that he convinced the hair on his head to stop receding!”
“Oh, Theo always gets his [...]

Many good comments on Girardi’s strengths and weaknesses last week, but try this one for contrast – Jerry Manuel running his team into only the second game- ending unassisted triple play in history. My wife’s cousin was at the game. Citifield went madhouse to morgue in four seconds. She said it was eerie- so was [...]

Agreed, Rice is an idiot.  We saw 3 very sloppy games this weekend by the Yankees.  Luckily, they won 2 out of 3 because the RedSox are just not as good as we thought.  Cano has to get his head in the game and stop styling when he goes to catch a ball.  Len said [...]

So apparently those in charge of the Little League World Series thought it was a good idea to let Jim Rice speak to the kids.  His advice….”Don’t be like Jeter”.  What an idiot.
“You see a Manny Ramirez, you see an A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez), you see (Derek) Jeter … Guys that I played against and with, [...]

This weekend the Yanks have an opportunity to put the Sox in the rear view mirror for good – and concentrate on getting guys going in the right direction.
Girardi deserves credit.  He has effectively managed the bullpen all season, he was of course helped out by the emergence of Hughes as an 8th inning solution.  [...]

I was even a little surprised when this drumbeat started for him.  He’s having a real fine year and will definitely get some votes (aided by his defensive abilities), but not the MVP.  I agree that Jeter is the MVP on the team.  Jeter heard his critics, and is having a “take that” kind of [...]

The non-sense that has been around the blogosphere this past week concerning who is the AL MVP is laughable.  A lot of it started when Tyler Kepner of the NYT tweeted that there was no doubt that Tex was the MVP.  This is lunacy on any number of levels.

Mauer leads the AL in OPS with [...]

I’m not picking on Joba really, every pitcher’s innings are  restricted these days. Newsday is running a series of game box score every day of the 69 Mets season. Today’s had a game Tommie Agee won with a walk-off HR.  He hit it off  Juan Marichal who went the entire 13 1/3 innings for SF [...]
