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.
Baseball 2008
The All-Star Break is bearing down on us. Are you happy with where your teams are?
Current division leaders:
AL
Boston Red Sox
Chicago White Sox
Los Angeles Angels
NL
Philadelphia Phillies
Chicago Cubs
Arizona Diamondbacks
The NL West is the Worst, the Tampa Bay Rays are still keeping pace with the BoSox, and the Cubs are helping keep elderly Chicagoans alive. Will the division leaders stay the same? Who are your picks for the wild card?

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!!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.
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?

Are you on the Yankees payroll?
No but are you making me an offer?
What about when Pedro threw Zim to the ground. Classy move Pedro, maybe he learned it from the cock fighting.
You aren't referring to when Pedro defended himself from a man 3 times his size charging at him, are you?What about when Pedro threw Zim to the ground. Classy move Pedro, maybe he learned it from the cock fighting.
All this Sox hate is terribly amusing... having lived in Boston, I know why people complain about other teams... it has to do with being upset about LOSING!
BTW, does anyone know what actually happened about the Manny situation, or is it simply hearsay?
It's true. It happened. Still nothing done.

Well.. we could spend all day talking about organization dysfunctions, or.. we could not
Anyone see Hiroki Kuroda's one-hitter? It was pretty cool how Chad Billingsley followed by throwing 5 no-hit innings, even though that resulted in a blowout, and Derek Lowe be perfect through 6 innings.
Looks like Brian Fuentes is one of the more sought-after players at this point, and some teams are starting to entertain the thought of signing Barry Bonds.

Manny is a textbook jock and an idiot...so is Pedro. They are both spoiled, rich, superstars, so they get away with things that everyone else would be punished for. What both of them did is disgusting and gives you a glimpse of their true character. Money can't buy class!!!
Oh, and for the record I am a Mets fan and a Boston fan and I don't hate the Yankees. I became a Boston fan after watching the '86 series and feeling pretty bad for them and now my sister lives in New England. I'm not a Boston fan just to spite Yankees fans...so please don't read it that way.
Side note: How about the Mets starting to play like a $120M team?!!!...we'll see how long this lasts...damn are they overrated and overhyped?!!! Both NY teams are in need of major overhauls. The next couple of seasons are gonna be dark!

I don't think anybody will sign Bonds. At least I hope not. You're better off throwing a lit stick of dynamite into your clubhouse. They'll both cause the same destruction.
Oh my Lordies, Torre said he wouldn't mind the baggage that Bonds would bring into the clubhouse. The Dodgers GM Ned Colletti already said the Dodgers weren't interested in Bonds, but to hear the manager say something like that scares me
The Mets have been on my mind since they've been playing pretty well of late! The East should be pretty interesting to watch, as well as the Central after the acquisitions by the Brewers and Cubs.
I seriously cannot wait to see Tampa Bay in the playoffs. That would be pretty sweet to see, regardless of whether or not they're "for real". Pretty much a nobrainer at this point that the Wild Card will be coming out of the AL East

I still don't think the Rays will even make the playoffs. Young teams always tend to fade down the stretch and their lead is not exactly mind-blowing.
The Mets are a ticking timebomb. I think the Phillies will hold on to take the NL East. Just like the Rays, the Marlins will continue to fade.
Look out for Detroit. What an amazing turnaround. One more big starting pitcher and the A.L. Central is theirs to lose.

The Yankees have been the most hated team in baseball for a 100 years. The Brooklyn Dodgers had class, something the Yankees can't even spell. Yankee fans used to say it was a badge of honor to be so hated, so I suppose the Red Sox should feel honored that the Yankees give them this title now, now matter how baseless it is. The media loves the Yanks. They still have more games broadcasted, they have the endoresements. They are the media darlings even though they havn't won anything in years, but the FANS love the Sox. The fans nationwide voted more Red sox to the all star team than any other team in baseball. And the players even voted a couple sox to the back up string. The sox fill stadiums, and they have enough depth that even when their best players are injured or in a slump they can keep in the running. It is a great time to be a Sox fan! Yankee fans are just bitter! :slywink:All this Sox hate is terribly amusing... having lived in Boston, I know why people complain about other teams... it has to do with being upset about LOSING!
Pedro is long gone, isn't he a Yankee now? And "Zim" was with the Red sox for a long long time before he was with the Yankees. Another has been we gave the Yanks. Why don't they dust off Clemmons again? He can pass out roids to everyone on the team. (Or maybe his wife will pass them out). They can get Bonds too and have a real roid rage teamWhat about when Pedro threw Zim to the ground. Classy move Pedro, maybe he learned it from the cock fighting.
Pedro a Yankee? I thought you followed baseball Robert. I guess I was wrong.
