Why would you want the Yankees to lose to the Marlins again in the World Series? The Marlins.

I think this year maybe the Sox need a higher profile guy take some of the heat off the rest of the team and Valentine could be just the guy to do it. I also like what he had to say about Dice-K and how he has been treated and acted in Boston.

My biggest concern this off-season given the happenings with Papelbon and Philly is that these guys don’t go and do something stupid like sign Heath “Petco Park” Bell or Matt Capps to big contracts. Make Bard a closer already and get another starter, plain and simple.

Whoa. Hey. Heeeeeey. What are you doing? Are you sure you’re not a Yankee fan?

I heard the owners started out the meeting saying:

“Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine!”

…awkward

I loved when Madden used to talk about running right up the “A-hole”. LMAO

Hah! That’s the comment of the month so far. I wonder if he will do the head twitch, too.

So if Pedroia singles, does Bobby V tell him “I want youse should steal second base, but don’ get caught. If youse gets nailed, I dunno nuthin’ about it, capisce?”

It certainly seems like Cherington is a puppet and Larry L is the puppet master.

Valentine, he’s got his good and bad, but he did get an average Mets team to the series.

The current Red Sox and Yankees fans will forever look to Francona and Torre as saviors, but both these guys were bad managers on bad teams before they became great managers on teams loaded with talent.

Just an opinion but the Red Sox should hire Wally Backman….

It would be a great fit for ESPN also since the Sox are on all the time and he could do his act during the 5th inning interview with Schulman.

Yeah. Why can’t the Red Sox get a GM like Dan Duquette?

Why don’t they offer the job to David Ortiz? At least then he won’t have to ‘walk’ the bases anymore!

I’m no Bobby V fan, but the reason he has taken a job yet is because he hasn’t been willing to take a token managers job. Think control. Think buck showlater. Bobby wants BASEBALL OPERATIONS.

Why not interview Ryne Sandberg? Of course, he might not be interested given the recent Fenway Follies, but has anybody even asked?

Come on Red Sox! Just suck it up and bring Grady Little back! Best manager they ever had!

Sandy Alomar grew up with Robbie Alomar. He’s got tonnes of big veteran ego experience.

I’m thinking Bobby himself must have thumbs-downed this.

I think they still can kick the Jay’s butts all over the place.

Oh Boo on you. He is great for the game, and needed now in Boston. Lets get him back somewhere. Lets all get back to play the game.

The circus in Boston has became quite funny. They are almost making the Orioles look good.

He hasn’t been offered a job in his last bajillion interviews; I’m not thinking he gets one now, either. This is certain due diligence.

Yes, I did forget. Wasn’t that kind of baseball great? Now it is too cookie cutter, too many rules type of game. No glory in it any longer.
