They were talking about it on the fan this morning. The Yanks are going to have DH pretty well taken care of for 2012 between ARod/Jeter/Jesus, but would most certainly be interesting with that short porch.


The basis of this story is Ortiz saying that he was sick of the drama and that maybe he should go to NY. If he of all people is sick of the drama, it means there was a shitload of drama.

The reporter asked him if he would consider going to the Yankees. He said yes, he would consider it. It's a business for these guys so can't really blame him for saying that.

This is funny:

Also funny was John Henry's 80 minute commercial-free interview on the Sports Hub just now, after he showed up at the station unannounced and in a rage.

Felger is playing that organization like a violin. He knows exactly how to elicit a response from them. I thought the Heidi Watney thing was good, this blows it out of the water.

I didn't care much for the Watney thing. She's just a reporter, and they were essentially stooping to the Red Sox' level. However, the Henry thing was spectacularly good radio, and I think it was completely fair-game.

Amen. As someone on the Boston Sports Media Watch boards said, the only person listening to WEEI for those 90 minutes was the guy who has to hit the bleep button when someone swears on the air. I'm glad Glen had time to enjoy his lunch from Davio's.

I didn't listen to either. Felger and Maz is worthless. The morning show is marginally better, but unless the Broons win the cup again, will fall off of the table. Gresh and Zolak are unlistenable.

Not that EEI is any better, but that station is utterly worthless. Come to think of it, sports radio is pretty much worthless these days.

I also find it funny that Henry decided to go to TSH instead of 'EEI even though the Sox are on 'EEI. I guess that's what happens when you actually want people to hear what you want to say. 'EEI did something with moving to FM but their programming is awful, starting with D&C. T&R blow them out the water. Yes I know they're juvenile but I really don't care when my other options are to listen to crappy FM music radio stations or the political stylings of two old guys.

T&R are like reading TRE's summer of dicks thread merged with the broons thread. In other words, worthless for fans of sports.

I stopped listening to D&C 8-9 years ago, so I have no horse in this race. They both suck donkey.

I enjoyed the summer of dicks and believe the Bruins thread is actually a good sports discussion, especially since my argument was ultimately proven correct. And it drove OJ off the board, which is always a plus.

I think we can safely come to the conclusion that pretty much all sports radio sucks yet some is less suck than others.

Thus spake the man who isn't aware that they are playing a World's Series this year.


I am aware of the Series. I wasn't aware they decided to put those two shitty teams up against the best college football game of the year Saturday night.

So you're admitting that the wildcard stinks? I'm glad. I am a baseball fan and I am a BC football fan. I'll watch the Mets, the White Sox, the Cubs, whoever is on the cable on the odd Tuesday night. Not so with other sports. I seldom watch football games other than those involving BC. Football doesn't engage me as deeply as baseball does. I haven't watched an NFL game since the last Pats SB. For that matter I seldom watch hockey games other than those involving BC (unless I attend the game) and I haven't watched an entire basketball game on TV since God knows when, no matter who is playing. Suum cuique.


i have no problem with the current playoff system but Selig's idea to add more teams to the postseason is repugnant to me.
