A White Sox player did the same thing against Boston the other night on a ball he thought was foul (I heard it on the radio, did not see it). Easy out at first. Will we be hearing about that in 2010? Have we heard about it <I>at all</I>?<BR/><BR/>Trips to scoreboard? Yeah, during pitching changes. Wow. What about when all three outfielders get together in CF during a change? Does that qualify as an "impromptu visit to CF"?<BR/><BR/>Blunders on bases? Thankfully, no other Red Sox players <B>ever</B> goof up on the bases. (My eyes are rolling so much, I'm getting a headache.)<BR/><BR/>And does anyone really give a fuck about Wilson? Manny lived in the building. He went downstairs for a bit. Big fucking deal. I've been home sick from work and gone out to the corner store. Same thing. I should be glad my neighbors didn't yell at me about it every single day after that.<BR/><BR/>Despite all these alleged transgressions, Manny continues to be cheered wildly by fans at Fenway. That has been constant -- ever since he crushed the very first pitch he saw at Fenway as a Sock over the Monster for a 3-run HR.<BR/><BR/>Bah.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1152422155067921732006-07-08T22:15:00.000-07:002006-07-08T22:15:00.000-07:00I agree with Jackie.

In fact I wish all the Red Sox would stay home and have the days off instead of playing in a meaningless, pointless and BORING ritual. I'm glad that Manny is staying home.San Francisco Red Sox Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785442344239834087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1152416144746002402006-07-08T20:35:00.000-07:002006-07-08T20:35:00.000-07:00What is Buckley's problem?

Honestly, even if his knees were fine, who gives a flying f*** if he plays in the ASG?<BR/><BR/>I for one would like to see the NL win the ASG, so when we sweep their contender in the WS we can win it at Fenway. ;)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358426266380862289noreply@blogger.com
