John Lackey No-Hits the Red Sox Thru 8 Innings

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim certainly have the Red Sox’s number this year.  To make matters worse, Angels pitcher has a no-hitter going on the Red Sox through 8 innings.  Lackey has walked one Red Sox.  Angels lead 6-0.

Update: Dustin Pedroia broke up the no-no with a single to left, then Kevin Youkilis broke up the shut out with a two run home run.  Still, the Angels are looking to make it seven straight victories over the Sox.

Will the Boston Red Sox Trade Manny Ramirez?

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Rumors will be flying until the MLB trade deadline that the Red Sox will trade Manny Ramirez. 

What a sorry state of affairs for Red Sox Nation, one that happens every year or so. 

Theo Epstein will dangle Manny to the Dodgers, Cubs and others hoping to snag a once in a lifetime deal that will not happen. 

Manny has always been ”Manny being Manny”.  Manny has not changed,  Manny deserves to get paid. 

Manny has embarassed the Red Sox front office with Manny spouting about a trade or optionson tv and radio, but if the Red Sox cannot deal with Manny, how can they deal with big stuff like ticket prices? 

I should not be so hard on the Sox front office, they have to deal wih Manny and hs evil super agent Scott B. who wants to get paid too.  Manny probably should not be saying he would rather play in Iraq than Boston.

Either way, this is all talk about nothing, manny won’t get traded before the deadline and the Sox will win the pennant.
