Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Major League Baseball is allowing Manny Ramirez go to AAA to get ready for his return to the Dodgers BEFORE the July 1st date in which he is allowed to be reinstated?

Reports are that Manny suited up for the Dodgers top farm club the Albuquerque Isotopes last night and was cheered repeatedly by the fans.

What a joke!

Well another vintage Dice K outing on Saturday night against the Phillies. 4 innings pitched, 92 pitches, 4 runs allowed on 7 hits. He had an early lead and still could not go 5 innings to be in line for a victory.

I say we either send him to the minors to figure things out or put him in the bullpen and give Smoltz his spot in the rotation!

After the Red Sox exciting 6-5 win last night over the Yankees at Fenway Park, our Sox are now 7-0 vs the Yankees so far this season!

While things always seem to even out over the course of a full season, it is fun to be able to enjoy this early season dominance over our hated rivals.

Maybe the Sox can go 18-0 vs the Yankees this year? Most likely not, but it is fun to say so to panicking Yankee fans!

Some people just never get it. Now in his third year with the Red Sox, it is the same old same old with Dice K after his performance against the Twins last night.

102 pitches in only five innings and only 62 of them were strikes. He threw 4 wild pitches, gave up 9 hits and is now 0-3 for the season.

Maybe it is time that the Sox admit that his signing was a mistake. With Penney pitching well and Smoltz and Buchholz on the horizon, why not move Dice K to the bullpen and see if he can do any better coming out of the pen?

What is the deal with the home run that Mark Texiera hit on Saturday at Yankee stadium?

Isn’t it safe to say that there must be something terribly wrong when a player can break his bat and still hit one out?

I would think that major league baseball is embarrased about that one!
