Does he think that's gonna help?

It's like he can't help himself

I honestly think there's a very good chance he doesn't make Memorial Day. The fans and the players have already turned on him. The only reason why he would keep his job would be to save face for ownership.

Red Sox Acquire Marlon Byrd From Cubs

Byrd, 34, has just three singles and one walk in 47 plate appearances this season, resulting in a .070/.149/.070 batting line.

How soon can he get there?

Five game losing streak since that idiot opened his mouth (they had won three straight before that). I'd like to call it karma, but that would be an excuse for the terrible pitching staff.

Tyler Kepner ‏ @TylerKepner Weak post-game showing by Red Sox. No Ortiz, Pedroia, Gonzalez. Leaving Albers, Salty, Aviles to explain that loss is poor leadership.

Jim Leyritz thinks Kevin Millar had too many beers (and chicken?) before today's events. And the Karim Garcia thing was tasteless and dumb. You're celebrating your 100 year anniversary of that green catastrophe, and all you can find to talk about during your toast to tens of thousands of fans is Karim Garcia? Ugh - if that's not evidence of a massive inferiority complex, I don't know what is.

we were watching it live and couldn't believe they brought that up during the toast. Millar is so dumb, he's doing a toast and doesn't say "cheers" so people know to drink -- he said drink in there and then yelled at people to Drink when they didn't know he was done yammering for a second...so embarrassing - this guy is supposed to be objective now working for MLB and he brings up karim garcia during the toast? what a douche.

btw - thought the ceremony started out okay but would have liked to hear the cheers and saw more names under as people walked out. was surprised no jd drew, trot nixon, bill mueller, bellhorn, schilling, etc. and i was expecting more of a speech or presentation on the field or something - not just reading a bunch of field of dreams quotes. could have been great but meh.

btw - nice move Henry and lucchino - say you invite everyone who wore the uniform and leave off McCarver who is broadcasting your game the next day.

he really can't - made me laugh. He had the sad bobby face on from the swisher grand slam on.

I watched our postgame so i missed MLB's coverage but this will be the first time i watch Baseball tonight this year (don't like their mlb coverage)...it's on at 9:30 on espn 2 - guess they couldn't find a high school football game to air.

i'm thinking it can be a little of both.

Yeah, I caught that. He's such an arrogant, smarmy SOB.

Great few days if you're a Yanks fan.

yup.

after the meeting in valentine's office:

Pete Abraham ‏ @PeteAbe

Bard will start tomorrow, weather permitting. No change in his role at this point.
15m Pete Abraham Pete Abraham ‏ @PeteAbe


Meeting over. Cherington said he is "very satisfied" with Valentine. "He's doing the best he can with the roster he has."

[4bronxbombers]

^^^ Perfect.

How soon until Bard goes to the pen?

[Mr Coffee]

[b-ball-lunachick]

you have to think he's having a good chuckle about all this...

so has valentine set a record today for IBB's with no outs in one game?

Greatest .gif of all time, with a close second for the one that shows Papelbon from behind with Ortiz (puportedly) shaking a bottle of champagne and blasting it in his face.

How do you guys find these .gifs? Is there a site where you can search for them?

[Mr Coffee]

Valentine post game.

He seems kind of down. Poor guy.

Late in the game, after yet another pitching change and berating from the crowd, I almost started to feel sorry for Bobby.

Then I came to my senses.

I hope he still has this disguise laying around somewhere. He might need it tomorrow.
