Porcello need to give up 2 or less HRs and they need to be solo jobs.

Theo was the GM, not he team President -- that was LL.

If he can't learn from watching Big Papi, they might need to send him back to the bushes for finishing classes.

He will be working under Shapiro, the President, but he will not be the GM? Do we have an analogous position with the Red Sox?

It is possible that this kid is a clueless idiot like Rusney is. If he is an airhead, the FO had better figur it out while his trade value is in the stratosphere. Rusney would have to be given away at this point.

Not sure about the numbers, but there are definitely black hockey players in the NHL. Edit: Quick search reveals that there are 30 or so blacks in NHL. I have no idea whether that is accurate.

I found this. I realize that it is 3 years old, but I was surprised at some of the data. http://i2.wp.com/espnfivethirtyeight.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/chalabi-sports-diversity-nba1.png?quality=90&strip=all&w=575 http://i2.wp.com/espnfivethirtyeight.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/chalabi-sports-diversity-nfl2.png?quality=90&strip=all&w=575 http://i2.wp.com/espnfivethirtyeight.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/chalabi-sports-diversity-mlb-2.png?quality=90&strip=all&w=575 http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/diversity-in-the-nba-the-nfl-and-mlb/

The diversity at ownership level is no different in Football or Basketball. Edit: Singling out baseball as a "White Man's" sport is ridiculous and absurd. It would be like a White Basketball player calling basketball a "Black Man's" sport because there are more black players.

Because Farrell is intent on embarrassing Max.

Should have gone to the bench for a PHer there with the expanded rosters. Farrell, wake up. The game is on.

In retrospect it would have been the right move. He really was struggling today. He is in trouble when he can't get strikes with the curve.

Youk might consider getting the earlier bus.

Not in September. There are plenty of arms in the pen. At any rate, he had to go after the second bomb. You can't let the game get out of hand.

He didn't have it. Probably should have gotten him before the second bomb.

Pedroia is white hot. 41 hits in last 80 ABs.

Hannigan has been a zero with the bat this season.

I like it.

Back to back at the game mojo!!

Wouldn't Bradley be enough?

Farrell, Thanks for killing Wright. Jackass.

LOL! He can't catch popups or throw, but overall he is adequate in the field. At Bat he has been pretty consistent at getting on base and his power has come in streaks.

You weren't comparing Moncada to Mays, but you were making a comparison with regard to the situation that they both struggled when they came to the major leagues. Even that is not an analogous situation for the reasons that I stated.

Pointless challenge by Prick Showalter. NY made the right call in not overturning.

And after you use and lose your challenge, you can still ask the umps to review at their discretion. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason that goes along with the exercise of discretion.
