Incredible the amount of abuse they’re taking with every move, itch and sneeze being scrutinized for signs of weakness and/or rebellion.

Four players and the entire front office of the organization show up for Pesky’s funeral and that becomes another scandal. I don’t know whose drama is deeper, the Mets or them? What as frenzy.

[18] Well, lucky you, they’ve tied it up!

Meanwhile, the Rays just don’t lose do they?

And I actually want the Sox to beat the Angels–don’t want to see them Angels in the playoffs. We can assume the Sox are cooked.

What’s that laughing sound I hear?

Oh, it’s Bob McClure!

The Sox game is most entertaining. Did anyone catch the loooooooooong Doc Ellis piece over at the four letter network? It was quite the read. I didn’t realize he pitched for they Yankees in 1976. The layout of the article is smooth as silk, too. I had not see anything like it before. If you are interested….. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=Dock-Ellis

God, it’s gruesome. I can’t even enjoy it anymore.

Okay, a little.

But I think a large portion of RSN is saying, “Good, you bums, I hope you’re embarrassed.”

[9] The article mentions that in moving Nova to the DL, they are able to slide CC in his place and still keep Joba in the bullpen. Why? The only way that makes sense is if Andy comes back soon and they switch Joba out until Sept. callups. He’s only hurting their chances of winning games at this point.

In any regard, don’t you always get the feeling that Joba is rushed into situations where he and the team would be much better served if they gave him time? I don’t even know what to make of that anymore.

[12] Beautiful, ain’t it? Can’t even handle a proper run down.

Holy crap the Sox are awful. They had a 6-0 lead in the 3rd. Inning isn’t over yet and they are now down 8-6.

The Red Sox have put A-Gon and Beckett on revocable trade waiver.
The rumor (but so far just a rumor) is that the Dodgers might be interested in taking both of them, returning Loney and prospects.

Yeah, I don’t think so.

Looking forward to seeing Phelps, CC, and Hiro re-start our own stinginess tradition…

Per LoHud, Nova to the DL.

[2] I like it. No team with fans that bad should be that good (at pitching).

[5] Yeah, I just noticed that (when I looked to check when the Rays matchup would be).
In a way, it makes the games more nerve-wracking, since losing to the Indians will/would be such a squander.
(But I’d buy 4-2 right now if the baseball gods offered it.)

[2] Schedules will also turn in the Yankees’ favor. Yanks have Indians and Blue Jays coming up, while Rays get Athletics and Rangers. Of course, the Yankees have to take advantage. I know it’s greedy, but anything less than 5-1 over the next six would be a disappointment.
