Yankee Fans Say Valentine Won't Last in Boston

I would be lying to myself if I said most Red Sox fans know he won't last either. I am a skeptic, myself.

[Youk Of The Nation]

There is not an electron microscope in existence capable of detecting how little I care about what Yankees fans think of the Red Sox.

The Sox only gave V a two year contract. The Sox don't think he will be around for long. So, I don't quite understand why some Yankee fan suddenly thinks he is prescient in this instance.

 

V may backfire. However he has not been brought here as some sort of long range solution. The Sox have backed themselves into a very peculiar corner in that they have so many overblown, long term contracts that I don't think they saw a solution in cleaning out the clubhouse of players. Maybe that was the wrong move as well...who the hell knows. Beckett may possibly be doing a good job of validating those that wanted his ass outta' here. That remains to be seen. Even if he struggles this year, tossing Beckett out on the market in light of environment the Sox found themselves in would likely have guaranteed getting s*** back when the Sox really needed pitching. Hell if this stuff was easy, we would be doin' it!

 

V has been brought here to do a very specific job for a very specific length of time. Starting from the premise that V was brought here as a long term solution is simply wrong headed from the start. Sure V hopes that success will either yield an extension here or a contract elsewhere. However that is not in my view how the Sox made the decision to bring V here.

I sure hope you guys don't do this

Lol, what a stupid article. Speaking in such absolutes after six games? The article said Bobby V.must take accountability for the shape the bullpen is in. I am personally waiting till at least 20 games to start labeling anything as good or bad.

 

If there are things I am tempted to view as bad this early- it ain't Bobby's fault.

[YAZMAN]

BV has been brought in so the FO can shed some payroll. When it's over and the team has sucked, they'll blame him and throw him under the bus when in fact he'll only have been 50% of the problem with the other 50% being they didn't sign quality guys to fill the holes.

They may not be planning on losing, but surely they must acknowledge the possibility. Bobby V is the perfect fall guy, because he is a lightning rod for attention. When things go bad, he will really grate on the fans and press and he'll be run out of town on a rail, and he'll get they special kick in the ass/stab in the back from the FO.

A Yankee fan with a negative outlook on the Red Sox. Call the news outlets!

[Bellhorn04]

One question that comes to mind is who the hell would they get to replace him? Manager of the Red Sox is neither an easy job these days nor a particularly inviting one, considering what's been going on with the team on the field and off.

[BornToRun]

Have we even established that Yankees fans count as people yet?

[scsoxsfan]

typical yank fan worried about the early season. ITS ONLY BEEN SIX GAMES. Are you guys gonning run your manager out because your 2-4? No so shut up find another sport when the early season really matters truth is there are 7 months of baseball if you are lucky enough to make the postseason. So dont worry about about about BV and watch your team and dont worry about what we are doing in B-town.

No they dont count as people yet, maybe one day.

[TutGadol]

It hurts me to say it but he's right. If we started 1-5 we better just fire everybody and move the team to mexico.

[SoxSport]

why is this a red sox thread?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Since when do we take Yankees fans opinions into consideration?

So how much of August's clubhouse ******** and leaks to the press was orchestrated by the one-eyed bandit? He's the maestro of mayhem.

I wish Crunchy was here.
