Sox hire Magadan; and Farrell?

Will Dave Magadan be looking over the Red Sox
hitters at Fenway Park?

The Red Sox hired former Padres hitting coach Dave Magadan this week but haven't said what his role will be.   Magadan was loved by the players and fans in San Diego before he became largely a sacrificial lamb for the disappointing Padres slump and was fired from the job he held since 2002.  It isn't known if Magadan will become the Sox new hitting coach or take another role in the organization

John Farrell, who is Cleveland's Director of Player Development, is expected to be hired as pitching coach according to Gordon Edes and Nick Cafardo.   Farrell apparently played a season with  Sox manager Terry Francona.

Detroit - They were a better story than a lineup.       

On Wednesday, the New York Yankees inspired comparisons to all-time greats like Murderers' Row and the Reds and A's machines of the 1970s.

By Saturday night they had completed a chilling collapse, cycling from legends to disintegration to elimination.       

No player symbolized the stunning failure more than Alex Rodriguez.

Mets Win and Yankees Spin

Today's Daily News, the ultimate Yankee Fan New York Nightmare!

The Mets are in and the Yankees are out, in probably the worst nightmare for the Yankee fans since the Red Sox triumph over them in 2004.   With their bloated sense of entitlement, this is a bitter pill to swallow indeed.   Now comes news that they will sack Joe Torre and replace him with Lou Piniella.   This would be great news for Red Sox fans and fans of any other team in baseball.   Stay tuned for an increased amount of lunacy from "Sias" and his minions. 

Yankee Fans, Swallow This

Another no-show for A-Rod

The obnoxious puke New York Yankee fans who have been littering this and other Red Sox sites for much of the last part of the baseball season have their own disappointment to deal with once again after their elimination in the ALDS by the Detroit Tigers.  The Yankees streak of playoff futility continues.  In the words of my high school football coach to a team in disarray, this is for the Yankee fans, "Do you like the bitter bill of losing?  SWALLOW IT!"
