QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 06:51 PM) Someone had to educate me on the excitement surrounding Davey Martinez? All I know is the players wives need to watch out. He's been mentored by Joe Maddon, arguably the best manager in baseball for the last 3 + years as a bench coach. That's good enough for me.

Ozzie vs. The Phillies and Braves 36 times a year... Hahahaha

QUOTE (whitem0nkey @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 06:32 PM) Dan Bernstein tweeted Davey Martinez is the name to watch -- right now -- as Ozzie's replacement. He is well-liked and well-apprenticed. f***. Yes. What are the rules as far as hiring new managers during the post-season? If the Rays don't make the playoffs, can the Sox begin talking to him immediately? Or do they have to wait until after the Series? I want the Sox to get him before anyone else has a chance.

If Boston loses and Tampa Wins today, it's over. Tampa gets the wild card spot. And if Tampa gets in, I don't see how they're not suddenly the favorite. They'll have the most complete pitching of all the AL teams and will have been playing significant games for the last week plus....

I hope Kenny is sending a text to Dave Martinez tonight...

AMAZING. Simply AMAZING. So does Ozzie manage in Florida for 2 games? Or what? And if Cora goes with Ozzie who manages the final 2 games for the Sox?

What awesome final regular season series' that's been set up: Both AL and NL wild card teams with a 1 game lead and 3 games to go each. Red Sox @ Orioles Rays vs. Yankees Braves vs. Phillies Cardinals @ Astros

Guaranteed a below .500 season. Congrats Ozzie!

Wasn't Francona a finalist in 2004 for the White Sox job? I'm pretty sure he interviewed at least.....maybe I'm wrong

one more loss to ensure a below .500 finish. Just lose, baby!

The World Champions missing the playoffs... gotta love MLB.

Saw Bright Eyes last night at a Cemetery in Los Angeles. Sounds weird, but it was one of the best shows I've ever been to, and one of the better venues, especially outdoors, that I've been to. It's BYOB and Food, and the sound was better than I could have possibly expected.

Back to the movie haha It's at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes right now. I swear the only people I've heard not liking the movie are baseball writers, which means it's probably a really good movie.

I thought for sure this was an Ozzie quote, but I should have been tipped off by the perfect english and sentence structure... This organization needs enema...

Wow. Just heard on PTI that Leyland said Verlander will start Games One and FIVE, but not Four on short rest. No matter what. WOW.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 06:57 AM) Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Twins need to win three of the final seven games to avoid becoming the only AL team to lose 100 games this year. Never in a million years did I expect the Twins to fall off SO BADLY. They always seemed like a team that if they aren't finishing first they finish a few above or below .500 in third or second place, but Jeez....

Just lose, baby!

Possible new Blue Jays logo... http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_leagu...urn=mlb-wp20406 I like it A LOT. The grey and blue s*** they've had for the last few seasons is hideous. Looks like they're going back to a version like the late 80's early 90's Jays had.

What the hell? Stop scoring you jerks! Haha

Morrison + Logan = Morgan As a fellow Logan, I get called Morgan all the time by people who's ears don't work....

Barring a trade or significant injury De Aza should be leading off for the Sox in 2012. And I'm all for it.

"Just lose, baby!"

"Whitney" has to hold up until 30 Rock comes back after Fey's pregnancy, but it looks so bad, I don't know if it could hold on that long. The posters couldn't be more cliched, the previews just look even more hackneyed, and Whitney herself just in not funny. She's just one in a line of many female stand-ups who's schtick of "I'm a hot* girl, listen to me say raunchy stuff!" is tired. It's almost as bad as Puppets, Props, or Insult Comedy as the basis for one's act. How about you just come up with some smart insightful material? *She's NOT hot. She looks like Michael Jackson. Her face has seen more knives than a butcher shop.

I don't know if this has ever happened before but all 8 playoff teams in 2011 should have 90+ wins... So nobody is really getting in there cheap.

I know Aaron Sorkin did a pass on the script so I'm in for sure....
