goose Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 QUOTE (Ultra @ Aug 31 2012, 11:41 PM) Hey American League, look out for Oakland. I got to see the last two games of the Boston Sweep. Wish we had ten more games against that sorry club! I do love A's fans. They were great fun at the park! The Sox fans...a few real douchebags, but mostly pretty cool too.

I listen to a fair amount of sports talk radio, and I have NEVER, EVER heard anything like this interview with Bobby Valentine: http://audio.weei.com/a/62126258/bobby-val...e-s-journey.htm My son is a huge Rays fan. As such, I've followed them a bit and one thing that's struck me is what a great manager (and funny guy) Joe Maddon is, almost a 180 degree opposite of the martinet in Beantown. Maddon even comes into play in this story in a humorous way. QUOTE In defending himself, Valentine said he thought Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon showed up at the park regularly at around the time he showed up Friday. "It's cheap journalism, isn't it?," Valentine said. "Joe Maddon in his Sports Illustrated article said, 'What do you think I'm gonna do go around the clubhouse and sit around in my underwear for a couple hours? I show up at 3:30 or 4 o'clock every day.' Every day. Does that mean he's late every day?" Maddon reacted with amusement when informed of Valentine's comments Wednesday. "Sorry I'm late, I just got here," he said to reporters at Tropicana Field upon entering for his pregame media appearance, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Maddon, who routinely arrives at the park around 2:45 p.m. according to the newspaper, also tweeted: "Apologies to the writers for being late to today's pregame session. My pedicure appointment ran a little late." Maddon also said that he found the situation "amusing, and somewhat flattering," and said, according to the newspaper, that he gets to the park "in plenty of time." http://espn.go.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/8...eason-miserable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Given so many of the big contracts NOT paying off, even in the early years, I wonder if the era of the monster contract is over. Seems like VERY few contracts are paying off in a way that it's actually a good use of team budgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
