Here's the released 911 call.
According to the NY Daily News, the Sox are going after Hanley Ramirez. It has not been reported on who they plan to throw into the deal. I believe you will start with Clay Buchholz and Daniel Bard and work from there. It would be a big time trade. Apparently, the Sox have also asked about Stephen Drew. Not another DREW!
The New Jersey Nets are 0-16. Did you know that? To make matters worse, their next opponent is the 12-3 LA Lakers. Fred Kerber of the NY Post shows no confidence in his team by writing today, "The winless Nets' 17th straight defeat could arrive tonight -- and probably will -- against the world champions as the job security leash for coach Lawrence Frank grows shorter." Ouch. Yahoo! Sports is actually reporting that Frank will be fired this week. The Nets are 1 loss away from tying the worse start ever by an NBA team. Two teams have started seasons 0-17.
Josh McDaniels is losing his cool. This is what the NFL Network SHOWED after coming back from a commercial break. Nice work in the editing room. As a producer, I have allowed a couple of F bombs to go over the radio, but I have never edited a cut to include the swears. What an idiot behind the board at the NFL Network.
Way to be thankful on Thanksgiving Josh. Belicheck would never do that...This is how you talk to your team. He is awesome.
The Red Sox have no SS, unless you count Jed Lowrie as the answer. Plenty of teams have won the World Series without a SS...
In November of 2003, Theo Epstein and company had Thanksgiving with Curt Schilling. Soon after that they traded for him. One of the greatest deals in Red Sox history brought the Sox a championship in 2004. That was the best trade the Sox brass has made in the last 6 years. Since then, it has been totally downhill in the trade department. Here's what the Sox are up to this Thanksgiving.
Boston Herald's John Tomase posts more rumor filled columns than we do. Tomase is now spewing garbage that the Sox could be after Miguel Cabrera, although that goes against everything they have done over the last 6 years. I don't think the Sox are going to trade one of their best young pitchers, Buchholz, coupled with a bunch of other prospects for Cabrera. Miggy is solid, however when was the last time the Sox traded prospects and picked up $126 million to get a player that hits like Manny, but drinks like a lush?
Northeastern University is losing their football team. Weird, I didn't even know they were considered a real football team. More like intramural. When you draw just a shade over 1,000 patrons to your game, what do you expect? Kind of reminds me of Merrimack's spot in Hockey East, but if they take us out of D-1 Hockey East, I will just snap. Northeastern sucks, Merrimack rules. NU = safety school.

The Boston Red Sox are seeking an alternative home for 3B Mikey Lowell. Chone "Call Me Sean" Figgins is still out on the market, and the Sox could make an interesting play at him. That would take care of 3B, then the Sox would still need to do something to shore up left field. Mikey Lowell can't run anymore, and is only productive when on the field. Problem is, he is rarely on the field.
The Knicks should have picked up Allen Iverson. They still would have lost this game, but at least there would be some sort of excitement. That being said, another ho-hum buzzer beater, this time by Kevin Garnett. Have you ever seen a team celebrate less than the C's celebrated when KG hit the shot? I mean, come on. I celebrate more when I hit treys in my backyard.
It is almost as if Boston was pissed to even be in a ballgame with New York, thus why celebrate when you probably should have pounded them by 25. If you are a Knicks fan, it probably kills you to see KG hit the game winner. If Ray Allen hits it, you just shrug it off. When KG gets a wide open look from the top of the key, well that has to hurt. haha. Go Allen Iverson.
Have you ever seen Greg Oden play in the NBA? He's is just a huge body, that occasionally cleans up some trash. The ugliest 10 points and 8 rebounds per game I have ever seen. He is a big tree that takes up space. He shoots 60 percent, but has only taken more than 10 shots in 6 of 22 games. He has only three double-doubles on the season. The number 1 pick has career averages of 9.2 ppg and 7.2 rpb. He is a joke.
This is what David Ortiz said today, "I said that like a year ago and everybody was looking at me like I was a (expletive) clown. You know? I said we needed another 30-home run hitter. Everybody was talking trash. There you go. Now what?" he said.
