The job should gave been given to Bard. He was being groomed for it and he appears to be their best option. Not sure if he'll be another CJ Wilson. That usually doesn't happen often.

The sad thing is that even if this works, are you maybe passing up major benefits with Aceves becoming a starter down the line?

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Who gives a shit what the Red Sox do? The are behind the Yanks and Rays for playoff spots, imho.

This Valentine is taking up the huge "Genius/Asshole" void left by Tony Larussa.

Red Sox fans. I am a baseball fan and I couldn't care less what Bobby Valentine or the Red Sox do.

Baseball fans?

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

I pretty much had my head buried in the sand this baseball offseason. Is Bobby Valentine now the manager of the Red Sox? If so,

The Sawks won't even sniff the playoffs this year, w/ the Yanks, Rays, Angels & Rangers as possible WC teams.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

He was booed mercilessly yesterday during the Red Sox collapse.

Couldn't happen to a bigger jackass.

I can not fathom why they hired him in the first place.

Boston Red Sox players blasted manager Bobby Valentine to owners John Henry and Larry Lucchino during a heated meeting called after a text message was sent by a group of frustrated players to the team and ownership in late July, three sources familiar with the meeting told Yahoo! Sports.

Issues that have inflamed players range far and wide. Leaving in Lester, a well-respected figure in the clubhouse, to get blasted for 11 runs and four home runs against Toronto soured players already beaten down by Valentine's managerial style. Valentine uttering "Nice inning, kid" to rookie third baseman Will Middlebrooks after he made a defensive blunder – an episode to which Valentine admitted on WEEI radio – only furthered the animus toward the 62-year-old, who is managing in the major leagues for the first time since 2002. Since spring training, players have chafed at Valentine's careless – and occasionally self-serving – interactions with the Boston media

I'm declaring a victory without research.

His team is a bunch of major league douchebags as well, let us not forget that.

He's a major league asshole. I'm not surprised anyone feels this way about him.

This story is all bullshit. If they are 5 games in first, nobody cares. When is the last time the Sawks finished fourth or fifth in the AL East.
