The Red Sox Thread

I had no idea that Ortiz kept up with this thread

And then he sat down and started to eat them, commenting they would taste better fried.

As I was walking back to the press box after the workout, David Ortiz stepped out of the team’s weight room bearing two Hummer-sized dumbbells. “Hey, Gordon,’’ he shouted. “These are my PEDs. Take that, [expletive].’’

And that goes for your curly-haired boyfriend, too.

For a full view of Shank's handiwork through the years, this blog offers a rightfully deserved critique.

I thought I read somewhere that Lackey lost 60lbs or something...Farrell says 17 since this time last year - not sure if he lost more before that but this image of him running, he looks a lot smaller:

Looks like Curt Schilling day at Fenway has been postponed

FORT MYERS, Fla, - First, the bloody sock went up for auction.

Now Curt Schilling's uniform number has been given to a guy who has no assurance he will even make the team.

... or if you are looking for bargains, these are only $5 and are 100% cotton, perfect for cleaning up stains and other household chores.

"One-time Sox prospect Ryan Westmoreland retires
Posted 1 hour ago

By John Tomase / Boston Herald

Red Sox outfielder Ryan Westmoreland announced his retirement today, ending a career tragically cut short by multiple brain surgeries.

”With a clear mind and heart, as well as the unwavering support and friendship of my family, friends, agent(s), doctors, therapists and the Boston Red Sox, I have decided to voluntarily retire as a professional baseball player,” Westmoreland wrote in an e-mail to the Providence Journal. “Although it is a very difficult decision for me, it has become clear that the neurological damage caused by the most recent cavernous malformation and surgery leaves me with physical challenges that make it impossible to play the game at such a high level.”"

A real shame....

That sucks.

[Yankee Fan in Boston]

That's rough. Hopefully he'll have his health and a normal life.

[d32123]

Dang wasn't he like one of their top prospects at one time?

dude's lucky to be alive

I have read some about that kid, shame. Best of luck to him in life, he sounds like a winner, I am sure he will do well at whatever he focuses on.

a cry for help

[35Knucklecurve]

I believe that there is a plan for me that will utilize my experiences, however painful some may have been, to do something special in my life. It is time for me to find that path, and to pursue it with the same focus and effort that I pursued the dream of playing professional baseball.”

Westmoreland is going to find that path. Sounds like an exceptional young man. Best wishes to him.

Alfredo Aceves is an angry man. And a volunteer punching bag. Seriously, what happened to this guy???

Larry Walker on Alfredo Aceves: "I had ahold of him and I think I saw Satan in his eyes."

I liked this comment on the article:

The biggest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing Larry Walker that he was Alfred Aceves.

No clue. He was really mellow when he was here and from what I remember, his teammates liked him.

That still appears to be the case

Much to the delight of Red Sox players, who cheered him on while watching TV in the clubhouse, Sox right-hander Alfredo Aceves found himself in the middle of tonight's wild Canada-Mexico braw in the World Baseball Classic.

Were they cheering before or after he got punched in the face?

Buy an 'I love Canadian baseball' shirt, and ask him yourself out by the bullpen opening day.

[Mr Coffee]

Buy an 'I love Canadian baseball' shirt, and ask him yourself out by the bullpen opening day.

First, I would never buy an 'I Love Canadian' anything shirt.

Second, why would I ask Aceves if his Sox teammates were cheering his beating?

He wasn't there.
