    Pedroia is still a key to Red Sox success. I am predicting a big second half for him if they don't find a broken rib when they return home.

    He threw the entire team under the bus with his "it's not me. It's them" statement from the dugout. How would you interpret that remark?

    As the statheads have pointed out, on field managerial moves don't translate to victories or losses to any great extent. As such their jobs are more fungible than most, and imo most managers are not very smart or very good at their jobs. The same goes for FO personnel. The teams run by good, bad or in between management win roughly half of their games. Whether they deviate from the norm is often significantly influenced by whether their players remain healthy or get injured. So, yes, imo FO is extremely fungible. Some occupations are more fungible that others based on many factors including the level of skill and training needed to do the job, the pool of eligible qualified individuals, and the impact that the person will have on achieving desired outcomes. Based on these factors, imo, field managers and FO personnel are extremely fungible. There are dozens of people with the same skill sets available for these jobs who would produce similar results.

    Dis anyone criticize the move when it happened? Sale was breezing. His pitch count was reasonable. It was a no-brained. No one criticizes a manager for no-brainer moves that go wrong. You are making a point that no one is arguing.

    i don't think we will see EROd until ASB.

    First Place feels good!

    Yep. Got it. You are right that future athletes should have looked at that as a cautionary tale. I guess they deluded themselves into believing the stuff they were taking was different or better and the lure of the money is just too much.

    I think it was the ego of the older athlete wanting a final moment of glory. I don't think it was about the money. The guy had a good marketable personality. He didn't need to play to make money. Also, linemen never made big money in those days.

    I remember when Alzado tried a comeback at age 40. He got into great shape with the help of horse steroids, but he no longer had his trademark speed and couldn't make it. About a year later he was dying of a brain tumor that many thought was caused by the steroids.

    Possibly topped by the signing of Rusney Castillo. Two steaming piles of worthlessness. Thanks Ben!

    hopefully, his ear infection will clear up so that he can hear it when they tell him to pack up his crap and hit the road.

    Sweet stroke by Travis.
  14. a700hitter
    Take note Same kennedy! We can't stand Alex Speier. Don't make us change the channel.
  15. a700hitter
    After that Palooka-ville.
  16. a700hitter
    I agree about Rutledge and Marrero.
  17. a700hitter
    Can we start a online petition to keep Speier out of the booth on Red Sox broadcasts?
  18. a700hitter
    I pick this one.
  19. a700hitter
    He can't perform anymore at the MLB level. They are easing him out.
  20. a700hitter
    He can't and he will not turn it around. Thinking so is just wishful thinkin.
  21. a700hitter
    LOL@ Panda. What a waste!
  22. a700hitter
    I don't know where you are going with this, but I don't expect that there are many Mensa members in that occupation. And they are pretty much the same. The really bad ones don't last too long, because their Customer's cars will not run well if at all. What point are you trying to make?
  23. a700hitter
    Yes. He is extremely fungible.
  24. a700hitter
    Not last night.
  25. a700hitter
    He's Hispanic.
