Comment on It’s Nobody’s Fault But Valentine’s by Fred H

As a long-suffering Red Sox fan who relocated from the Boston area to CT, I had a ringside seat for Mets games in the Bobby V era. (Litchfield County is in the NYC metro TV viewing area, so I've spent years as an anti-fan watching the Yanks and Mets because I'm a hopelessly pathetic baseball addict. But I digress …)

Bobby was, simply put, awful in the art of communication … with the media, with the players, with the front office. He was a train wreck. When the Mets were winning, he was flip and arrogant; when they were losing, he was thin-skinned and combative. He ran his mouth in good times and bad and, in the end, stood alone.

I could not believe my ears when Bobby's name came up in discussions of Tito's replacement. No ownership – particularly the Red Sox ownership – could possibly make such a epic miss. And yet here we are. My sole consolation is that I've seen this movie before and already know the outcome. As painful as the Bobby V era will be, this too shall pass.

Comment on Five Reasons Bobby Valentine is a Bad Idea by James

First of all never be surprised when Ordway & Holley ballwash teams that their station broadcast. Secondly, everyone that has ever covered Bobby v's antics in New York would say that he's a master showman and a self proclaimed expert on anything. The jury is way out on this guy but it will be fun to watch.

Gotta love how the Oswalt-Halladay-Lee rotation was supposed to win a title for philly guaranteed and they couldn’t even keep them together for two years.

DId I hear the name Julio Lugo? lol. So glad that guy is gone. Great defense but batted .180. I think he is still trying to get on with a team or is on assignment.

It’s not that they’re pinching pennies, they’re just in a transitional stage.

Had no idea Scutaro was making that kind of loot in Boston.

What about the Scutaro trade yesterday?

Comment on So the Red Sox Should Just Hand the Cubs Their Savior…Why? by Tim

If the Sox can't get the significant compensation for Theo, they should just fire him. Who wants an employee that doesn't want to be there? He'd just be a lame duck. That said, I'd prefer that the Cubs offer nothing but instead take on some our what we don't want (preferably Lackey, maybe Jenks).

Comment on Conor Jackson: Rapid Reaction by sogrady

It's certainly about depth. I'm just wondering why they focused on Jackson, and why they gave up at least a filler arm in Rice. I suspect that they know something I don't, and I'm curious as to what that is.
