Pathetic. actual words from my father, 3 weeks ago: "I'd rather see the Red Sox finish last place than the Yankees finish first" my dad is a very smart man too, he's no 3rd shift worker...he's actually close to retirement soon. not sure how he raised my dumbass though... probably cuz i was a latchkey kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did get your sarcasm. i don't ever see a Brady team winning just 6 games.....the Red Sox don't deserve that kind of respect from me edit: btw the Sawx won 69 out of 162 so to me that's more like going 7-9. not to nit pick though, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 actual words from my father, 3 weeks ago: "I'd rather see the Red Sox finish last place than the Yankees finish first" that is in the Top Ten Dumbest things ever said by a human. Especially a Yankee fan. What was great about Yankee fans is they never cared what the lil ol Red Sox were doing. They were above the fray. They were above acting like little men and having a little man complex. But... I guess things have changed. I guess they are as pathetic as Red Sox/Mets fans towards the Yankees and Jets fans towards the Pats. And thats sad for a team with 27 World Championships.

I hope this isnt whats happening. Raised a Yankee fan, I was taught to be above the fray like you said. And I have always appreciated the class of the organization. And part of that was the fan base being above that stuff as well. As far as being a Jets fan, all bets are off. I am as pathetic and petty as it comes.

Section 333 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 okay? anyways I can't wait to see Bobby V managing the Sox next year It was announced long prior to your post that Bobby V would be canned after game 162. Tell your father to brace himself, the Red Sox shed sh*t tons of payroll last year. Then have a decent core, and can now sign whoever they want. The Yankees may have another WS run left (hopefully) but going foward the Red Sox are better positioned. And to be honest I feel the same way about them as I do the Royals and Indians. Just another team on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 They just fired Bobby V. An incredible trainwreck of a season, worst since the mid 1960s. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Bobby V is officially gone now. Who's next??? CANDIDATE BACKGROUND John Farrell CURRENT JOB: TORONTO BLUE JAYS MANAGER By all indications, the Red Sox want him, he wants the Red Sox, and the Blue Jays want no part of allowing that to happen. Farrell projects as the ideal candidate for the potential Red Sox job for a number of reasons: He would work well with the team's baseball operations staff, he is highly respected by leaders in the Sox's clubhouse, he has prior relationships with the their pitching staff and is well qualified to tackle that reclamation project, and he is familiar with the challenges particular to managing in the Boston market. Mike Maddux CURRENT JOB: TEXAS RANGERS PITCHING COACH He declined to be interviewed last year, citing family reasons, but given the importance of getting the pitching staff back on track, the Sox should make another run. Dave Martinez CURRENT JOB: TAMPA BAY RAYS BENCH COACH The Joe Maddon Way certainly has proven to be successful in Tampa Bay, and Maddon delegates a great deal of responsibility to Martinez, who wins high marks for his communication skills with players, especially on delicate issues. Was a finalist for the Houston Astros job. Sandy Alomar Jr. CURRENT JOB: CLEVELAND INDIANS INTERIM MANAGER The former big league catcher served as Manny Acta's bench coach with the Indians until Acta was fired this month, and now looms as a leading candidate to replace Acta, although Francona has signaled his desire for the job. Alomar was interviewed for the Red Sox job last season, but did not make the final cut. Brad Ausmus CURRENT JOB: SAN DIEGO PADRES SPECIAL ASSISTANT Native New Englander (New Haven, Conn.), Dartmouth man, a big league catcher for 18 seasons, Ausmus is an intriguing outside-the-box candidate. He managed Israel's entry in the World Baseball Classic. Mike Lowell CURRENT JOB: MLB NETWORK ANALYST Another outside-the-box candidate, Lowell stated a desire to spend more time with his family in Miami after retiring from the Red Sox in 2010. Lowell enjoyed tremendous respect in the Sox's clubhouse and was a fan favorite. He also is bilingual, which is a great asset, but as Kevin Millar said last week, "He might be too rich to manage." Lowell's name also has surfaced as a potential candidate in Miami if the Marlins fire Ozzie Guillen. Joey Cora CURRENT JOB: MIAMI MARLINS BENCH COACH The Sox saw firsthand how the Cora family approaches the game in infielder Alex, and Joey patiently has been learning his craft under Guillen, both the dos and don'ts. He has waited long enough for a chance. DeMarlo Hale CURRENT JOB: BALTIMORE ORIOLES THIRD BASE COACH The Sox didn't grant Hale an interview last year, perhaps because he was too closely associated with Francona and last September's debacle. But the Tito years look like the good old days by comparison to the current mess, and Hale, with minor league managing experience and big league time with three franchises (Rangers, Red Sox, Orioles) has all the right boxes checked off on his dance card. Bill Mueller CURRENT JOB: LOS ANGELES DODGERS SPECIAL ASSISTANT The former Red Sox third baseman is highly regarded by the Dodgers, who would hate to lose him. It's uncertain whether he'd want to return to the dugout. No managerial or coaching experience. Torey Lovullo CURRENT JOB: TORONTO BLUE JAYS FIRST BASE COACH Spent the past two seasons on Farrell's coaching staff after several successful years managing in the minors, including one season in Pawtucket. Young and energetic, with an appreciation for statistical analysis that the Sox value, Lovullo might get the chance that Farrell figures to be denied. Ryne Sandberg CURRENT JOB: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES THIRD BASE COACH The Hall of Fame player was passed over last year by both the Red Sox and Chicago Cubs in their searches, even though he was named minor league manager of the year by Baseball America in 2011 for the job he did with the Phillies' Triple-A team, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Makes you think that the Sox feel there's something missing. The Phillies on Thursday promoted him to be their third base coach. Joe McEwing CURRENT JOB: CHICAGO WHITE SOX THIRD BASE COACH Coincidentally, "Super Joe" was one of Valentine's favorite players when he was a reserve on the New York Mets. McEwing's playing career ended with Pawtucket in 2007, he became a minor league hitting coach a year later, and a manager in 2009. He served as Robin Ventura's third-base coach in Chicago this season. He's only 40. Jose Oquendo CURRENT JOB: ST. LOUIS CARDINALS THIRD BASE COACH Trained under Tony La Russa, but was passed over by the Cardinals when La Russa retired. Also has interviewed for jobs with the Padres, Mariners and Mets. Tim Bogar CURRENT JOB: BOSTON RED SOX BENCH COACH Also mentored by Maddon and a student of stats-based analytics, Bogar had a strained relationship with Valentine this season, which might impact his chances. Interviewed for the Houston Astros' managing job. Arnie Beyeler CURRENT JOB: TRIPLE-A PAWTUCKET MANAGER Winning the International League title should at least get Beyeler an interview.

It would be hard calling him pee wee to his face, considering I am a foot taller than that little shrimp The Sawx season was absolute nirvana for a true Yankee fan. I was praying for 1 more season of Bobby V, but since that now is impossible, I'm rooting for John Farrell.....he absolutely destroyed a Blue Jays team that wasn't too bad, ready for a run. Here's to 5 more years of Sawx hell. Go sell some bricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section 333 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 decent core?? their shortstop bats .108 Ells is a goner when his deal is up and Pedroia is a pansy WOW, just wow!!! I am a die-hard Yankees fan. And am no fan of any Red Sox player. But to say that ends all discussions. Pedroia won an MVP award while having less talent than probably 95% of all former MVP's. He plays with grit, hustle and determination. Plus plays hurt all the time. Including the last week of this season. Calling Pedroia a pansy pretty much closes all baseball discussion that I will ever ever be able to have with you. Lets just stick to how bad our football team is from here on out.

However, if Farrell could help the pitching staff which has been erratic since he left, bring him on. Who knows, maybe he can get something out Lackey.
