Haven't you noticed the pattern of how players and managers exit Boston? Right before the axe drops the player or manager gets a lot of negative press which increases after they exit. It isn't a marching order or a formal cue or green light, but I think the Press picks up subtle signals around the organization regarding whether someone is out of favor. And when they are out of favor, it is open season on them.

The Mets are kicking the crap out of the Cubbies tonight. Five Home Runs and a 10-1 lead.
-
Yes, this is very unfair to the fans to have these ridiculously long delays.
-
The cue comes from above. They may have the green light to go after him.
-
Yes!
-
Hopefully, they don't delay this until 3 am like the Yankee game a few nights ago. We have to suffer through Buch and Sullivan over the weekend.
-
And the poor base running is biting us now.
-
Holt gives this team a Jolt!
-
Ortiz with a rope Home Run!!!
-
Wright stepping up like an ace.
-
Let's hope that it doesn't come back to bite us.

I had read about some of the shaddy stuff last year. I can't remember where I read it. It might have been here on TalkSox. It sounds like some real under the table stuff was going on and the Red Sox were hiding behind some technicality that they were staying to the $300k limit when they knew and were encouraging what went on behind the scenes. Essentially, they were part of a conspiracy. They were lucky that they didn't get slapped harder.

Two outs given away on the bases. It could have been a nice crooked number of runs that inning. The whole organization needs a base running course.

RemDawg is still the best analyst in the business. He doesn't over do it, but he gives you the inside baseball stuff that you want.
-
More stupid base running. A Farrell trademark
-
Shaw and Holt producing again like in April.
-
The play by Holt was beautiful. He ran about 70 feet to get that in the corner and put a throw right on the money at second base. That play put a smile on Yaz's face. Very nice play by Shaw at 1B to end the inning.

They don't have a leg to stand on. It looks almost like they engaged in a conspiracy as well as a potential tax fraud. I am no DR tax expert, but to carry out a scheme like this would require a lot of reporting and double taxing of the money above the $300k filtered to Player A. Did the Red Sox put the agents in charge of doling out the money. If so, I could see the following plausible scenario, the agent gives the crappy guys $10 k and tells them were lucky to get that, the agent pockets $50k for his services and the other $240 k found its way to the stud player. Do you think it went like that?

Nerd alert in the booth.

Really, how was this supposed to work where they didn't think it would look like lying and deception. Oh, player A you are a stud and we really want you, but we can't give you more than $300, so we are going to give players X,Y,Z $300k each and they will kick back $200k apiece to you player A so you will get $900 k. Is that how it was supposed to work?
-
Aw, too bad for Toronto.
-
That was his role there.
-
A first inning run!
-
WTH is Artisan Sausage? That confirms my suspicion that the term artisan is being over-used.
-
Nice DP by Hernandez to end the inning.
