Each member of the coaching and off-field staff is getting $20,000 from MLB and $20,000 from the club.

Whatever. I'll file this blog in the same place as the one's about Sox player's being deleted at last minute from the Mitchell Report and the red dye on Schilling's sock. :rolleyes

No, I wasn't aware. So I'll retract my bias assumption and stick to my last comments. The game was delayed an hour and no fans I heard interviewed displayed even an inkling of negative comments to the players actions. Nothing but positives all around. So Buster Olney may not be biased, but he's...

And a former Sox fan to boot. :crazy: Seriously folks, I've not seen or heard one complaint from the fans who attended the game, which was delayed approximately 1 hour. Matter of fact, I've only heard positives from fans. Maybe Buster should do a little investigation before assuming to speak...

I don't know how you would take this quote. or me mentioning the fact that they should have omnipresent class, as anything but praise, but I guess you did. Please know that I meant it as a compliment to the way they carry themselves and I saw the Billy Crystal thing as a departure from that...

That post was sticking up for the Yankee players and critiquing the new direction that Hank is bringing them. In all seriousness, the Yankee organization has more class than this stunt and it shouldn't have been forced on them. I may hate George, but he did maintain the image of the team as one...

For standing up for the low wage staff getting screwed out of their money? MLB was paying the players, but refused to pay the coaches; so IMHO the players protesting that is quite the opposite of prima donnas. I hope you are kidding Crawdaddy, or else I'm taking back my last comment about Yankee...

Personally, I would have drilled him. If this is Hank's idea of "restoring order to the universe", he's got a long way to go, starting with restoring the class that is supposed to be omnipresent in his own club. The Yankee players should not have to lower themselves to that kind of BS stunt...

Red Sox players refusing to play exibition game today and refusing to board plane to Japan unless MLB pays $40,000 appearance bonus to entire coaching staff as promised. MLB previously promised the bonus to all players and staff making the trip, but has since reneged against the coaches...

Schilling commented last night via his blog. He said he has had a second opinion done and there is no tear. He's going to begin the team recommended rest and rehabilitation regimen to try and heal the shoulder.

The difference being Albert Belle is an ass; everything I've ever heard about Jim Rice, both publicly and privately, is that he's a man of exceptional character. He's never had one scandal in his life and his charitable works are legendary, especially when it comes to kids. The writers hated him...

Jim Rice's numbers and the fact that he was the most feared hitter in the game for the late 70's early 80's (anybody who argues different never read a baseball article during those years) would have him in the HOF by now except for one thing - The personal hatred he received from sportswriters...

Clemens speaks english? Could have fooled me. :D

You call it what you like and I'll call it what I like! :D

The House We Didn't Lose 4 In A Row After Being Up 3 In? ;)

The calmest. :crazy:

The only way El Guapo was taking steroids is if someone sprinkled it on his combo platter at Casa Romero.

De-Soxify? They also de-everyone-ified the list. Here's the guys from the hoax list that aren't on the real list: Brady Anderson Manny Alexander Jeff Bagwell Aaron Boone Rafael Bettancourt Bret Boone Milton Bradley David Bell Dante Bichette Albert Belle Wil Cordero Ken...

No, Watson actually called it the "Francona Rule" http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/b...icleid=1048668 Not officially called the "Francona Rule", but I don't think Watson could be any less specific on who the target is. Whatta tool.:rolleyes

So what does eveeryone think of Bob Watson and his "Francona Rule"? I think it's pretty sad that a league which took 15 years to even acknowledge the steroids scandal has the nerve to single out an individual for a discretion and actually name a rule after him, especially when your press...

Yeah. I don't know how much A-Rod had to do with the announcement during the World Series, but between the two of them you'd think they could come up with a single ounce of respect for the game that pays their salaries. I don't know of one person, including Yanks fans, who didn't think that was...

Early reports have Beckett left off two ballots completely and Sabathia off one. Let me guess, now the writers down NY way don't believe pitchers should be eligible for the Cy Young either? :D

I say no way to the Japan trip. We don't want Kevin Youkilis to end up with a mystery intestinal virus that keeps him out of the lineup (and out of drug testing) for months on end. ;)

Schilling signs one year extension with Sox. Looks like he'll finish here. Good move by team and player. Whoops, local news jumped the gun. I should have said "Reports say Schilling is about to sign one year extension."

Not in the 9th inning, 2 out, bases loaded, in the 7th game of the World Series they wouldn't. Hell, I wouldn't take A-Rod if that situation was in the regular season. Ortiz will go down as the greatest clutch hitter of his era, if not in baseball history (he has the stats). A-Rod will go down...

Ortiz will go down as the greatest return for the money in the history of the game. He signed for 12.5 million per season back in 2003. I believe it was a 6 year contract. At the time he said he found his place and he would rather have the comfort of playing for a team and a city that he loves...

"Issuing a statement" is always something I relate to the Red Sox. When confronted by the Curly Haired Boyfriend and the rest of the "I'm more important than the players or their stories" media, issuing a statement in Boston is a smart thing. But Jeter was/is annointed by the media in NYC. He is...

They could publicly decry them as a pox on the game and deride them for having no respect for tradition . . . but they probably wouldn't want to sound so repetitive. :frowning:

Don't you be talking trash about "Captain October".:D

Just the reaction of his teammates after the "girlie slap" incident in the 2004 ALCS told me volumes. The silent lack of support from Jeter on down was . . . shall we say . . deafening.
