DO WORK SON

Let's go get this run in.

Brewers in TOTAL free fall. Wow.

Byrd's settled in.

AJ!!!

You know, one time, he had zero HRs in the Home Run Derby?

German_Sox - what was your opinion on the Jason Bay acquisition?

You do realize AJ Burnett is not a free agent right now?

Rays all over the Twins again tonight, 5-0 in the 2nd.

WHAT A PITCH BY AJ

Marco Scutaro? Ugh.

O's up 1-0 on the Yankees, Huff RBI Single

Byrd's gonna get lit up tonight.

Sigh. Ellsbury in the leadoff spot.

Expect lots of Rays/Twins and Orioles/Yanks updates.

US on the verge of a 6-2 day. Without Tiger.

Note to JD Drew - there's like 10 games left, might be good to play in one of them.

Thing is - you don't know if there will be detrimental consequences to his comments, but you do know nothing good can come of them. Look - Schilling's got the right to say whatever he wants - but since there is nothing positive that can result from them, it would have been better if he didn't make them. Especially considering he has his own issues to deal with.

I actually do, except when he opens his mouth when it is uncalled for, which he does quite often. I agree. Nothing is new. SO WHY DID HE HAVE TO CALL IN AND CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS? I don't think this will be a distraction to the Boston Red Sox. I don't think the comments could result in anything positive for the Boston Red Sox. Therefore, I find his comments counterproductive to the current team, because there's no reason to bring this up when in two weeks they'll begin their run to defend their WS Championship. I'll say the same thing to you I said to Bosox. If you could name one, ONE positive thing that could result from these comments by Curt Schilling, I'll give him a pass. Until then, he deserves to be criticized AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY is he is not pitching for them this season.

You dodged my question. Who's doing their job out of the three? After he called in to discuss Manny. SO you acknowledge it is a pointless exercise and no good can come from it, except for Schilling to be in the spotlight for his own interests. Gotcha.

I also find Curt's definition of "disrespect" laughable. Can someone tell me if the following situation is disrespectful to the Boston Red Sox? Player X signs an $8 million + contract to pitch for a major league baseball team. Player X has a major shoulder injury in the offseason workouts. Player X's personal physician is given permission to give interviews that drag the Red Sox FO through the mud saying that the FO insists Player X try rehab before shoulder surgery, even though they know surgery equates to losing Player X for the entire season (and getting nothing on their $8 million investment) While Player X's doctors slam the Red Sox FO, Player X only says things like "I guess I never knew that the business side of baseball could be so ugly," even though he isn't willing to give back the $8 million he knows is a sunk cost at this point. Player X wanted the Red Sox FO to let him have surgery and miss the entire 2008 season, allowing him to be healthy and sign a new deal in 2009. Player X, like Manny Ramirez, used a third party to slam the Red Sox FO and pursue his own agenda. Is this respectful? Is this playing the game the right way?

In the words of a700hitter, the players are big boys. Why does Schilling need to speak for Ortiz? Interesting, because Schilling's only been on the team for four. Why air these concerns now? You still haven't told me anything productive airing this dirty laundry caused, and until then I maintain this is an incredible waste of time and serves no purpose other than to make Curt Schilling look like a blowhard.

I missed this quote - then why did he say "You guys only know 10% of what happened - if you knew what I know you'd feel the same way" or something to that effect. Seems to me like that's not exactly bringing things to light.

Lou Merloni and Brian Daubach didn't steal $8 million from the Red Sox this year and then cry about the Sox having him do rehab instead of getting surgery, which would guarantee they'd get nothing out of him this year.
