@Pisano: Tax rates in the US haven’t been lower since the late 1988-1991, and prior to that, 1925-1931. You need to do more research, and stop taking the news at face value. Just so you’re aware, it’s _legal_ for the news to lie to you.

“In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States.”

This isn’t to say that Fox is the only culprit, merely you can’t trust any news agency at face value…always double and triple check their assertions.

I kinda hope they get Hanley. He and Lester have pretty much publicly said they hate each others guts. It will just make for more tabloid stuff.

How could you forget beer, fried chicken and video games? those things ALWAYS cause disharmony.

robbing from the rich

I’d love to hear how the rich are being “robbed”. This explanation should be wonderful.

Yeah, they already traded one fan favorite in Youk. Trade Papi too, and you’re gonna have fans tearing down Fenway.

Do you mean the modern day Robin Hood, robbing from the rich and giving to the bums that have been on welfare for generations? you mean that Obummer?

Excellent, get rid of those two a*sholes, and that’s a step in the right direction. Lucchino is a total horses ass, and John Henry looks like he’s rowing with one oar.

I forgot, you sir, are wrong! Sir Larry went on the record this morning blaming the “carnivorous media” for the problems.

“He is the root cause of the dismay in that clubhouse.”

May I add bobby v, lackey and Beckett to that list?

Selfless advice, isn’t it. That is what you want out of a blogger, someone that steps up and tells it like it is, putting their own self interests aside.

They’d love to get rid of Becket, Crawford and lackey. Unmovable IMO. If the manage a trade, they’ll get pennies on the dollar.

If Boston feels compelled that they must make a trade, look for some combination of Ellsbury, Ortiz and Bard to be moving along.

Starting to look like we should trade the owners. Too bad that’s impossible….

Lucchino is a douchebag. He is saying things to keep fan interest so the NESN ratings don’t fall and they lose money. Did this shit last year. Sent one of his bobos into the clubhouse to beg players to do commercial spots on NESN on how the team is never giving up. Youk was the only one willing to help out because he’s a good dude and can’t say no to anyone. Everyone else told him to go blow himself. It’s all about the sell out streak and TV ratings for him. He is the root cause of the dismay in that clubhouse.

I think they’re researching whether or not Nick Punto has a brother they can trade for…

When you read the entire piece it’s basically we are looking at are options, but no promises we may not do anything. It’s one of those interviews where if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance baffle the with bullchit.

Bold – Trade Cherington and Valentine to the Cubs for Epstein and a coach-to-be-named-later. Would immediately make the Sox a better team.

I love it when you guys who make a living commenting on what certain people say advise them not to talk.

How about Lucchino and Henry stepping down? That would be both bold and very well-received.
