It's like communist controlled local media. Let's see, the red sox and Boston Globe have the same ownership. The sox have consistently used the Globe and certain loyal writers whenever they need to get a hatchet job written on somebody. whether it was pedro, johhny damon or manny, they have the writers ready to throw whomever they need to under the bus.<BR/><BR/>and then there's the wildly popular highest rated sports station in the world, WEEI. Not only do they broadcast the Sox games and never have a harsh word for ownership or management, but one of their primary hosts shares time broadcasting sox' games in the radio booth. <BR/><BR/>the radio in particular has been railing against manny with arrogance and derision for years, and since they traded him, it has been non-stop. even in the middle of the playoffs, it's actually quite amazing to witness in person.<BR/><BR/>if manny and the dodgers can pull off the improbable, these yahoos with their agendas will have nothing to say for months. it will truly be beautiful. this is why it must happen.Sports Blogging Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376580789167475605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-50389789483581249082008-10-12T15:14:00.000-07:002008-10-12T15:14:00.000-07:00SBG: Welcome!

I've resisted thinking that your explanation for the Manny problem in Boston might have anything to do with, shall we say, "appearances," all the while suspecting there might be something to it anyway. This was, after all, the last MLB franchise to integrate in the wake of Jackie Robinson, and while Theo Epstein and company can't be held responsible for that, the ripples can seem to be felt up through their newly acquired transformation from "idiots" to Yankee-style business majors. And certainly their role as enablers in the escalating antics of Manny Ramirez can't be underplayed.<BR/><BR/>I certainly like Manny's chances against Jamie Moyer and am looking forward to lots of action in the bottom half of the innings, balanced by plenty of strikes and tight-and-inside pitches to get the Phillies rocking on their heels in the top halves. This could be a ton of fun!Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-8570630563237290942008-10-12T09:18:00.000-07:002008-10-12T09:18:00.000-07:00Dennis,You've got support from one member of red s...Dennis,<BR/><BR/>You've got support from one member of red sox nation. I want to see Manny make it to the Series and stick to the sox, with big hit after big hit. They deserve it. This ownership has been trying to get Manny out of town since they bought the team. They've hated Manny from day one because they wanted him to be Tom Brady. White, clean cut, does everything by the book. <BR/><BR/>Manny's a hitting god and will get on these torrid streaks for weeks at a time. He's as hot as i have ever seen him for as long as i've ever seen it. <BR/><BR/>just gotta squeeze out game 3 and get back in this thing. Luck was just not going your way in game 1. You need to spare the rest of the world the Phillies in the world series. i think their most compelling story is that Brett Myers treated the baseball like his wife in game 2 when he was at the plate.Sports Blogging Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376580789167475605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-2449859717024514692008-10-11T16:11:00.000-07:002008-10-11T16:11:00.000-07:00Dennis, I admire your cheer and equilibrium while ...Dennis, I admire your cheer and equilibrium while watching your Dodgers-- I could never be that calm about a sports team I love, but I really admire your calm perspective. I think the Dodgers will make a series now that they are coming home to LA.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to hear more about the classroom-- what you wrote in the previous post's comments section sounds great!<BR/><BR/>And in response to something else you said in that comments section-- if you can make it, definitely catch LOLA MONTES before it goes-- it's spectacular, esp. since I know you love Ophuls.Brian Doanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903729233401672600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-77067594940575747002008-10-11T09:45:00.000-07:002008-10-11T09:45:00.000-07:00I'm with you, Dennis, let's hope the Dodgers put t...I'm with you, Dennis, let's hope the Dodgers put together something a little better they were able to yesterday. So excruciating! (Especially given their performance in the NLDS.) And the ever phlegmatic Joe Torre just standing there with that seemingly dyspeptic look on his face! Would that he'd once--just once!--look like he has more than one demeanor. Anyway, psyched for the game and hoping that the pitching staff can put together a full nine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
