with your logic dude, youd probably had wanted Sox to keep Alan Embree cuz he had such a great season last year as well including in the playoffs. Embree with his high ERA of 7.65 and so many blown saves to count was thankfully booted off, and dumb enough the yankees jumped to get him. and ya know what?? he blew a save for them now, 1 hit and hell of an error as he threw to first baseman for an out but it actually ended up in the stands, course yankees came back to win but doesnt matter. Im sorry but Bellhorn has go to work had when he comes back nect week, .216 batting average with 109 strikeouts and just 28 RBIs just isnt cutting it.

very surprising for me to see, tomorrow's game 3 against the Twins was undetermined after Wade was pushed back a start. Rumors were abound that Tim Wakefield was getting an early bump, Schilling starting, or either Jon Paplebon getting his major league debut. But it will actually be Jeremi Gonzalez up on the mound for the Sox

sorry its just that is a very interesting stat that is up to 15 kids are reported missing each game at Yankee Stadium--who knows, could be same stats for all other ballparks

haha, hardly likely Tony G is gonna get traded, Sox need a player of his caliber on the bench

Teen goes missing during Yankees game July 30, 2005 NEW YORK --A 13-year-old boy went to a restroom during a Yankees game and never returned, and searches of the stadium, nearby fast-food restaurants and train stations by hundreds of police and security guards were fruitless. Majelique Lewis, of Stamford, Conn., disappeared Friday night during the seventh-inning stretch of a Yankees-Angels game, police said. His mother immediately reported him missing to security, who notified police about an hour later. Every stadium exit is monitored by security cameras and Lewis' mother did not spot him on hours of recorded images, police said. It was the teen's first trip to Yankee Stadium. He attended the game with his 65-year-old foster mother, brother and two sisters. Lewis has no behavioral or mental problems and no history of running away, police said. "He's an average kid," said Arthur Shannonhouse, who answered the phone at Lewis' home and identified himself as the teenager's father. Ten to 15 children are reported missing at every Yankees game but are almost immediately located, police said.

yeah ok thats why ive just been talking about theo getting replacement for Trot

matsui gets the 2-run double to win the game

god i just love seeing yankee fans "Chacon did such a good job in todays game to get the win, but now because of alan embree, its all for nothing" good kind of deja vu for us Sox fans this season

i agree with that, got hot commodities like jon lester, paplebon, and delcarmen & dinardo, could actuallys strengthen the bullpen and rotation

wow thats really mature, dude i was just stating that Sox are in fact looking for a replacement for Trot Nixon. And Tito has no decision in who Sox management get

Papi didnt do anything wrong and is not at all the bad guy, hes just defending his good friend he has in Manny. Nothing wrong with him being offended by fenway park booing Manny loudly last night.

haha wow, wonder if he'll do better for them than the Sox this season with his 7.65 ERA and multiple blown saves

oh please dude they wont sit out papi for saying those comments

where did you see this?

that be an upset for me, cuz i really got to liking Stern as a player for the Red Sox, besides the speed he has, does have the capabilities to be a great player

it has been confirmed, he has asked to be traded really each year since 2002

Theo knows how to pick players who are clubhouse kind of guys, who are team players. anyone else think he def looks like he could be Nomar's brother

This sucks for him and his team, love to always see the plays he did on the espn's web gems of the week. hope he gets better. Hunter injures ankle, heads for DL Tendon at least strained, possibly torn If Torii Hunter has a torn tendon, he could miss several weeks of action. BOSTON -- The struggling Twins' postseason chances took a huge hit during an 8-5 loss Friday night when center fielder and team leader Torii Hunter went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained, and possibly torn, tendon in his left ankle. Hunter was expected to be out of action for at least a couple of weeks, but it could be much longer if the injury was found to be more serious. With two outs in the first inning, Hunter attempted to catch David Ortiz's drive to the deepest part of Fenway Park in center field. As he made a leaping attempt at the ball, the 30-year-old's spike awkwardly caught the fence's padding and turned his ankle. Television replays showed Hunter, a four-time Gold Glove winner and AL starter in the 2002 All-Star Game, grimace in pain immediately as he fell to the warning track. Ortiz's ball bounced off a railing and back into play for a double. "As soon as I saw him grabbing his ankle, I thought 'Oh no,' " Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I thought it was broken," Hunter said. "I was trying to tell Jacque (Jones) to check my leg to see if it was broken." Hunter laid on the warning track for several minutes while teammates and trainers rushed to his aid. He was helped into a cart that took him off the field, and Lew Ford took his place in the game. "It stinks," said Hunter, standing on crutches with a protective boot on his foot after the game. "I knew the dimensions of the field. They're weird and not the same as any other stadium. I should have just held up, but that's not my game. "When you're adrenaline is flowing, you can't think about that. You 're just trying to catch that ball." X-rays revealed no broken bones, but indicated the chance of a small tendon tear. Hunter will remain with the club through the weekend and undergo an MRI exam Monday in Minneapolis. If the MRI confirms a tear, he might have to undergo surgery. "It was pretty scary," Gardenhire said. "We know it's not good. We'll hope for the best and see how quick we can get him back." A roster move to replace Hunter wasn't announced, but a likely candidate was Michael Ryan. A numbers crunch on the roster forced the club to send the outfielder to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday. Hunter, who had yet to bat in Friday's game, is the club's emotional leader and one of its few offensive weapons this season. He has a team-leading 14 home runs while batting .269 with 50 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. "We can't afford it," Jones said. "Who in this league can afford to lose one of their best players? Especially in the stretch." The Twins have limped to a 3-6 mark on the current 11-game road trip and have dropped 14 of their last 22 games. They're currently in third place for the American League Wild Card berth after fading behind the White Sox in the AL Central race. Hunter has a penchant for giving up his body to make plays, and has often collided into fences or has dived for balls. More often that not, it seems, he makes the catch and survives with minor bumps and bruises. Not Friday. "I never had an injury like this in my life," Hunter said.

anybody's predictions for how chacon will do in his debut in pinstripes in a sold out game at Yankee Stadium, that must be a change as ever, going from the Rockies to the Yankees--Our boy Tony G is loving that he got to go to the Red Sox, he even admitted having now time of his life on a more winning team that the Royals are

i wasnt talking about the Manny trades, i was only talking about deals that have been in place to get a replacement for Trot, god

But I dont think that they would lie about Miller's shoulder hurting him considering also its risky to have your starting pitcher have more than 6 days of rest without a good reason to do so

as well as Bill Mueller got the job done for Minnesota Twins scouts, JC Romero not so much haha

I like Manny as much as anybody, but agree with you there. I mean he had signed an 8 year contract worth $160 million, hes got life good

derajmd, uhhh you really dont know anything. The time he asked Manny was like ater the game ended, and this was around 11 pm. They didnt know at the time he wouldve been placed on the DL, and Tito had to play Millar and either called up players Stern or Hyzdu. Dont even start going blaming Tito for that, because thats not his job to find a replacement, its Theo's job to do so! Im not sure if you're reading the papers or anything but Sox through tomorrow are looking for a replacement for Trot that would be included in a packaged trade.

besides standing firm at a day off that he spent any way in uniform on the bench, was what couldve been an inning ending double play in the 10th with Manny just jogging over to first base, if the double play actually had gotten both sox runners, the game wouldve been much different--Tampa Bay was once the team everybody could easily roll over, theyve now got the offense and baserunning to counter with and whenever they get quality starting pitching and relief pitchers, really watch out--Sox never really ran away with scoring a lot of runs in the games this past series
