Well Rowand could have a case, Hunter went down after what 98 games and Rowand finished the season. Good to see Tek win it.

Well since Gammons said alot of the front office might leave to go to AZ, if we promote some one from with in, does anyone think that would stop some of the people from leaving.

I think theres also something to say for putting good people in key places, such as scouting.

Eric Wilbur wrote a pretty good article http://www.boston.com/sports/nesn/wilbur/sports_blog/blog/2005/10/31/epsteins_trick_is_on_the_red_sox/

This wasnt about money, if it was then why were they on the verge of signing a deal? What happned two change that to stories in the globe one about Manny, the other attacking Theo. I think Theo said enough is enough, and quit.

How about Drew and Olson two UCLA players having great season and getting little to no attention, because of that other team So Cal. Miami vs Va Tech is a big one this week.

Well how long til we get the new GM in place? a week or 2 maybe

Why are FA's going to want to play here if this teams own front office leaks stories and smears it's own people in the press?

I just belive Theo didnt leave because of the money but because LL set up the Globe article. No matter how much money he as given if LL is going to leak s*** about Theo why should he stay.

WOuld Beane leave Oak town? What about towers? Depo?

Im am stunned right now, I thought you guys were messing around. Where do we go from here?

This isnt a joke http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=109723

Well the BCS dance continues, USC is back in the one spot followed by Texas.

I'd be thrilled if we got Ervin Santana, he's a young guy with some good stuff.

Glad this is over, now we can focus on singing some key guys.

Sorry, were just having fun I dont think anyone is taking anything personaly.

Yea, but if you talk with most NYers or watch TV shows about NY I hear all about how dangerous the city is. You may be safer but your citizens play up how violent the city is.

Alright already. Chicago has better food than New York, if you ask for directions in Chicago your not as likely to get shot and robbed as in NY. Chicago is a big city with a Midwest feel. We had a President call Cub games for a few seasons, we have the tallest building in the USA, and the toughest mayor in America. Lets stop the Chicago basing please.

Sox Brass not hapy this was leaked. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2208341

Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt fired general manager Paul DePodesta on Saturday. The team scheduled a 5 p.m. news conference to announce the move, first reported by Los Angeles newspapers and also confirmed by ESPN. Earlier in the week, Orel Hershiser, one of the key members of the 1988 World Series championship team, became the sixth candidate to interview for the vacant manager's job. In a sign of pending trouble, Hershiser met with McCourt and adviser Tommy Lasorda, but not DePodesta, The Los Angeles Times reported. McCourt hired DePodesta, then 31, after buying the team in January 2004. The Dodgers won the NL West title in his first season, but DePodesta riled fans by trading popular catcher Paul Lo Duca and two other players at midseason. DePodesta had three years left on his contract. The Dodgers went 71-91 this season, the team's worst record since 1992 and second worst since moving to Los Angeles in 1958, after DePodesta made many offseason changes. The team has been without a manager since Oct. 3, when the Dodgers and Jim Tracy agreed to cut ties. Tracy was hired shortly after to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Dodgers began the 2005 season 12-2, but losses and injuries soon mounted. The team was without Adrian Beltre, Alex Cora, Shawn Green, and Steve Finley, key players from its 2004 NL West title run. DePodesta Jeff Kent was brought in to play second base and had a solid year, but other newcomers didn't perform well, such as J.D. Drew, Jose Valentin and Derek Lowe, along with holdover Odalis Perez, who was signed to a three-year contract. Eric Gagne, baseball's best closer the previous three seasons, had season-ending elbow surgery in June and injury ended outfielder Milton Bradley's season in August. The Associated Press contributed to this report. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2207524

Can I just say Props to Konerko for voluntary giving the baseball of the final out to the team, unlike a certain 1st basemen last year. Alot of the people in the city arent hardcore baseball fans, I think the got excited cause the Sox won, but if you asked them to name 9 players they'd have trouble.

So are we still looking at dealing with the Angels,D-Backs and Guardians?

What does that have to do with anything?

Man on fire, I never heard of the movie.
