Remember the Phillies traded Chen for Denny Cook and Turk Wendall in 2001

I thought he was referring to his post-mortem priapism.

BP guy did a little article on Anthony Gose today. Had some video of him swinging and missing at breaking balls by close to a mile. He hasn't had a hit yet on a breaking ball -- slider, curve, change or splitter. He's seen 121 of those types of pitches and hasn't hit one of them out of the infield.

He's still young for his age and has some crazy good tools like speed and arm and maybe some power eventually. And we're talking about 72 PAs. But it's pretty clear what he needs to improve at to be any good.

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, which his predecessor, Terry Francona, handled adroitly.


what a dickhead. nice leadership skills

he probably sucks, but they sound like a bunch of entitled dickheads too. They were against him from day 1.

Red Sox ownership must have been the only people in the known world not to know Bobby V. is the south end of a northbound horse.

Maybe they thought there's no way he'd be as bad a manager as he was as an announcer
