    The editors at the Boston Globe must have removed the reference to Ozzie.

    It's still run like the old boys club and it always has been that way. If tobacco hadn't become such an anathema in society, they would still be sitting around the ballpark chomping on cigars.

    No one jumped during last year's start or collapse at the finish. Sox fans are survivors.

    I didn't know Crawford would be swinging so soon.

    Some of it is too specific to have come from people with general access. There are numerous examples. The first one I remember were the stories regarding the confrontations with Nomar and the FO immediately prior to his trade. It seems that there were few witnesses to those conversations, but it was written about in great detail. This organization has been very effective when it comes to plugging leaks about trades. People were basically put on notice that they would lose their jobs if the info leaked, and the leaks stopped. The personal character assassination has been allowed to go on without being curbed. The trade leaks were definitely coming from lower level organization people. If they could put a lid on that, they could put a lid on this stuff too. It's a question of organizational leadership. What is everyone else going to think when your owner is openly questioning and disagreeing with the last big FA signing by his former GM, while the player is still under contract? They are going to think it is okay to bash the guy who left.

    Don't start with the Bud Light. The Bud Light at Remys started the downfall of the 2011 Sox.

    It's a slow news day in the baseball world ^This move is reportedly being made to free up payroll for Bobby Oatmeal.

    MDC had a few real good stretches over a couple of seasons. His WHIP in those seasons was pretty good. He never had a WHIP in the minors or majors close to as high as Carpenter. I don't see the comparison. Plus MDC had a plus curve. Carpenter's curve is reportedly very weak.

    I don't think his body type will affect his reflexes, but it will break his body down starting in his knees and legs. If he keeps the weight off, he should be fine. He should play at no more than 205. He's been at 220-225 for the past several seasons. They might decide to part ways with him after the season, but he may still be very productive for 3-4 more years.

    Age cracks are strictly verboten.

    I saw Youk on the Sox Report on NESN last night. He looks like he has trimmed a few lbs. He needed to do that. Whether he plays 1st or 3rd, he was carrying too much weight. On the other side of 30, it's better to be light and flexible as opposed to muscular and thick.

    If it doesn't escalate to walkers, I can hold my own with any geezer.

    VA, I apologize for the gratuitous reference to your age. It wasn't funny and personal comments have no place in a baseball forum. I come here to have fun as I am sure you do too. I apologize.

    I don't pat myself on the back for that. I like Ital. He had some anger issues that I exploited, and I regret that. What can't you take? I made one age crack tonight and it set you off. Plenty of us here endure age cracks every day on this forum. Suck it up. Shake it off. Embrace your inner hag. J/K

    I've left you be for years, but figured turnabout was fair play after years of your sniping. Since you obviously can't take what you dish, maybe you should take your own advice, especially since I am capable of inflicting physical injury over the internet and across an ocean. Edit: BTW: People who troll me always end up more annoyed than I do. It's a Brooklyn skill.
