That's not surprising since the Red Sox are the most overrated team in baseball right now. The only reason they are still riding the wave of popularity is because the media loves them and ESPN is full of Sox fans. If they were any other team they wouldn't even be talked about with the team they're putting on the field right now.

Can anyone logically explain how Manny Ramirez can throw a 64yr old man to the ground and not get suspended? Chacon had his contract terminated for something not too different. Is there any CLASS at all in the Boston organization? Can you say double standard?

I always love the baseball thread. It doesnt look good now but Atlanta and the Twins should start reeling in the comp. I hope to see them in the playoffs.

Mike, it's probably safe to say that society as a whole turns a blind eye if you're a superstar. For example, Michael Vick would be the exception, not the rule.

Doesn't seem like the Sabathia trade made much noise at all. I'm sure the Brewer fans are happy though. Strange that I haven't heard anything about the Brewers trying to extend him immediately. Cubs appear to be countering by trying to acquire Harden from the A's.

Can't believe A-Rod's divorce details are being made a deal of. Can't the baseball writers stick to writing about baseball?

My biggest problem with it is that the red sox are the first to cry, complain and criticize whenever there is any goings on in the Yankee system as if it's their business. However, they still haven't done anything to their own guy for beating up an old man. Could you imagine the press if Jeter or A-Rod had done this? They'd be marching in the streets in Boston demanding action be taken. And that's the truth!!

I'm shocked at how quick the Cubs moved on Harden after CC was gone. I think they absolutely fleeced the A's. Gaudin is no slouch himself. He's shown in the past how good a starter he can be when he's right. A little coaching and experience and Gaudin can be a solid #3 guy.

AS far as A-Rod and the divorce stuff the media are just a bunch of scumbags. Leave the family alone. There are kids involved and nothing like this ever turns out well.

Mikey, mikey, mikey.... beating up an old man.... no matter how much you cry and sniffle it will not change the fact that the Yankee glory days are long gone! Nobody cares about Arods personal life. If he wants to get busy with that old skag Madonna, then thats his buisness! In these modern times people no longer expect baseball players to have morals or set an example for youth. So its no big deal.

I love the Yankees! They beat the Rays which helped put the Sox back within two games of first. Its nice to know the Yanks have our back!

Yes beating the Rays was nice. Almost as nice as the Yanks wiping that fake tough guy face off Papelbon and beating him YET AGAIN.
Robert, How quickly you try to change the subject away from the classless red sox and the scumbag manny. The topic wasn't about anybody's glory days. The question still remains. What have the sox done to discipline Manny Ramirez for throwing a 64 yr old man to the ground? Anybody? Anybody? Beuller? Robert?
