Red Sox need a GM and quick!
Red Sox fans, if you could choose a GM (general manager) for the Boston Red Sox, now that Theo Epstein is gone, who would you choose?

Alex Rodriguez wins AL MVP
Well Alex Rodriguez won the American League Most Valuable Player award. I think David Ortiz should have won, what do you think? Would the Yankees have it made it to where they were if they didn't have Alex Rodriguez? Probably in my opinion. Whereas with the Red Sox, if they didn't have David Ortiz, I don't think they would have made the playoffs. Most valuable, most valuable to their team, that is David Ortiz everyone, and you know it!

David Ortiz (Big Papi) should be MVP
I don't care what anybody else says, David Ortiz should be American League MVP this year. The numbers he is putting up are just tremendous. Tonight he just hit a 2-run home run that gave the Red Sox the lead, which the Red Sox won tonight's game because of those runs. Of course you Yankees fans will say that Alex Rodriguez should be MVP because he plays defense. Well I didn't know that MVP can only be won by players that play defense. Look at the stats that count, I would rather have David Ortiz than Alex Rodriguez any day.

Former Red Sox 2B Mark Bellhorn joins Yankees
Mark Bellhorn is now a Yankee and now Yankee fans can see him stand at the plate and take a third call strike and go back to the dugout. Enjoy it Yankees fans. I know I will.

The jerk (Larry Krueger) is finally fired
The radio station in San Francisco finally fired Larry Kreuger, the guy who made racial slurs on the radio about Felipe Alou and Caribbeans. Read more about this on ESPN.com, http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2130288

A-holes are still among us
Well if you didn't hear about the ignorant radio host in San Francisco, nows the time to read about it. Read an article on ESPN.com about it.

The a-hole's name is Larry Krueger. He went on the 'Giants' flagship station, KNBR, and went off about the struggling club and its "brain-dead Caribbean hitters hacking at slop nightly." He also criticized Alou, saying "you have a manager in Felipe whose mind has turned to Cream of Wheat." (ESPN.com)'

I can't believe he have morons like this on the radio. There are still people out there that are ignorant and jerks and deserve to be locked away from society for their small minds. And guess what, he only got suspended without pay for a week. What is that? Shouldn't he be fired? Whoever suspended him should be fired as well as Krueger.

Another article on ESPN.com, Station won't fire host after apology

I think this should be talked about more around the US and something should be done to this jerk.

Felipe Alou said, "It really made me sad to know that 40, almost 50 years later I could hear comments like that," who faced racism as a black Dominican minor-leaguer in the South nearly five decades ago. "Especially in San Francisco ... I never heard anything like that here. I heard it in the South and in some other cities, but not here. A man like me and the Latin guys out there, we have to be aware now that it's not over yet. It is coming back."

Alou makes a great point in that, is it coming back? Hopefully not, the world doesn't need this garbage. We are all human, we should all get along and not hate because of someone's ethnicity. Let's get rid of this jerk and others like him.

Schilling, closer for the Sox?
Today on the radio in Boston the major topic is about the Red Sox and Terry Francona's comments about Curt Schilling. It seems that Francona and the Sox will put Curt Schilling in the bullpen when Schilling comes off the DL and back to the Sox. He may be closing with Mike Timlin while Keith Foulke is getting checked out. Do you think Schilling would be better used as a closer rather than a starter? I think he should start, but I guess we'll see what happens. What do you think?

Olerud over Millar?
Watching the Red Sox vs Indians game tonight, should John Olerud be starting at first base over Kevin Millar? Olerud is better defensively and right now seems to be on fire at the plate. What do you think? I think the Red Sox should start Olerud for now and see what he does and if he fails then play Millar.

How our Yankee fans dealing with their sub-.500 team
As of today, the New York Yankees are 30-31 and in fourth place in the American League East. I wonder how Yankee fans are feeling right now about their team. Please respond to this and let everyone know.

Is Barry Bonds racist?
What do others think about the new Barry Bonds semi-"controversy" which is that Ron Kittle says in his book that Barry Bonds said to him "I don't sign for white people" when he asked Bonds to sign some bats for a good cause. What do you think about this? Do you think Ron Kittle made this up or is it the truth? Bonds reply to Ron Kittle's story... was filled with expletives. This is from ESPN.com (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2081489):

"I was married to a woman who was white, so let's get real. I don't even know the guy. Tell him he's an ... idiot. Somebody said he wanted a piece of me. Tell him I'm at 24 Willie Mays Plaza and he can come get me anytime he wants to -- with pleasure. Don't insult my family."

Is Bonds a racist? I've also heard that Bonds has said that he didn't want to pass Hank Aaron in career home runs, he just wants to pass Babe Ruth, but not Hank Aaron. Is that a racist remark? Does it mean he is a racist? If it was vice versa (say a white person has the career home run record and a non-white person is in second place) and another white player says I just want to pass the second place player but not the record-holder, wouldn't that be considered racist?
