    Here it is 4 years later, and I don’t think we’re any closer to the truth between Mookie’s side, and DD, and Bloom’s side.

    I don’t think anyone has said that Mookie had anything to do with the trade to the Dodgers, and I haven’t either. That was the result of the failed negotiations. I don’t blame Mookie either for taking the most amount of money he could get for someone else. I get it that you don’t want to blame Mookie for anything, and everything on the Red Sox, but until I get some concrete evidence either way I’m blaming both.

    I would rather have Mookie in a Red Sox uniform right now, and I’m not saying he did anything wrong, but like I said previously until I get some concrete evidence either way I’ll stick to the Red Sox, and Mookie both got what each wanted. Neither side wants to be the bad guy in this, and I think both are somewhat to blame. What % I don’t know.
  4. Old Red
    Between him, Masa, and Casas someone had to sit, and Cora picked him.

    When it comes right down to it we fans don’t know much at all about what really happened in the negotiations between Mookie, and the Red Sox.Did the Red Sox offer $300M, or not? Did Mookie ask for $400M, or not? It seems strange that Mookie has waited 4 years until he came back to Boston to say the team didn’t offer $300M. I guess he didn’t want to be seen as the bad guy before he stepped into that batter’s box as a Dodger. Mookie didn’t ask to be traded, but I think he was thrilled it was to the Dodgers. He signed the contract before he played a game for them. Mookie may have liked playing for the Red Sox, but did he like Boston? Until.I hear facts to the contrary I’m going to keep on thinking Mookie, and the Red Sox both got what they wanted.

    Now we know. No Ref Man in the lineup, and Abreu is in. You don’t need to change a lineup just because a LHP is going to throw 1 inning.
  7. Old Red
    Like I said the other day none of us know the whole story in all of this, but my opinion is that both the Red Sox, and Mookie got what they wanted. Like someone said the other day don’t listen to what someone says, but watch what they do.
  8. Old Red
    Nor should they. The biggest question is can they climb out of that hole that they dug for themselves. Leaping 3-4 teams is a lot harder than 1. Only taking 2 out of three against Houston only gains you 1 game. You can’t expect someone else to do it for you.
  9. Old Red
    The starters are struggling, and the BP is starting to throw more pitches too. As good as Martin has been he threw 29 pitches in an inning the other night, which is a lot for 1 inning. Pitchers thrown some times is more important that how many innings are pitched.
  10. Old Red
    I don’t know who will be following this guy, but he hasn’t pitched more than an inning all year, so you don’t have to overthink think this, and start more RHH.
  11. Old Red
    Finally!
  12. Old Red
    The choice was made before Bloom got there.
  13. Old Red
    Or Casas.
  14. Old Red
    I agree with this, but the other part too is did Mookie really want to stay in Boston? He’s talking a good game now, but his actions speak a different story. I think both side’s actually got what they wanted.
  15. Old Red
    I brought this up yesterday about the lineup going forward, and who was going to sit. Cora was rotating before with Duran, and I said at the time I didn’t think it was doing anybody any good. Duvall has gotten hot since, and Dugy has been better since back in the leadoff spot. Masa, and Casas has not been hot, but Cora will play everyone.
  16. Old Red
    Cora likes to keep all involved.
  17. Old Red
    If Abreu were to play it would come down to Masa, or Casas sitting to me.
  18. Old Red
    Nothing but good things to say about the Sox, but what about Boston?
  19. Old Red
    Crawford’s day to pitch.
  20. Old Red
    Haywood Sullivan’s doing.
  21. Old Red
    Losing Fisk like they did was a total cluster f—-.
  22. Old Red
    There has been so many stories out there then, and now, so what to believe is anyones guess, and who to blame. DD, JH, Mookie, or two of them, or all three.
  23. Old Red
    I think John has slowed down as he’s gotten older. He used to be more helpful like showing up on Felger, and Mazz to help boost their ratings, and meeting Lester out in the parking lot. I just don’t see him doing that today. Probably send Sam.
  24. Old Red
    Do you think JH will be there to greet him?
  25. Old Red
    As long as Mookie is playing baseball, and probably years after he is done, and goes into the HOF there will be woulda, coulda,and shoulda Mookie talk in Boston. Especially since he’s in town for the first time since he left town that’s all the more reason. Next to the Babe, Mookie is probably the 2nd biggest blunder in Red Sox history.
