I'm with you. Luckily we can still find boxing if we try hard enough.

Going to be a VERY interesting playoffs. I hope those 2 aren't down for long; makes the road much easier for the inevitable Cubs' run. Uggh.

I think of all the contenders, if it's not us, I'm all for the Doyers. Could live with Houston, Arizona/Colorado or even the Red Sox if needed. Not too happy with any of the others.

Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy provided interesting details today about David Price's confrontation with Dennis Eckersley on the Red Sox team charter to Toronto on June 29.

As already reported, Price was upset with Eckerlsey for saying "Yuck" about Eduardo Rodriguez's line from his rehab start that night in Portland.

Rodriguez pitched 3 innings, allowing six runs, five earned, nine hits (one home run) and no walks while striking out three for Portland against New Hampshire.

Shaughnessy wrote the following:

On the day of the episode, Price was standing near the middle of the team aircraft, surrounded by fellow players, waiting for Eckersley. When Eckersley approached, on his way to the back of the plane (Sox broadcasters traditionally sit in the rear of the aircraft), a grandstanding Price stood in front of Eckersley and shouted, "Here he is -- the greatest pitcher who ever lived! This game is easy for him!''

When a stunned Eckersley tried to speak, Price shot back with, "Get the [expletive] out of here!''

Many players applauded.

Eckersley made his way to the back of the plane as players in the middle of the plane started their card games. In the middle of the short flight, Eckersley got up and walked toward the front where Sox boss Dave Dombrowski was seated. When Eckersley passed through the card-playing section in the middle, Price went at him again, shouting, "Get the [expletive] out of here!''

The most disturbing part of this all might be that many players applauded. We all knew Price was sensitive. That shows many others on the team also are sensitive and don't understand Ecksersley has a job to do.

They also are showing no respect for a Hall of Fame pitcher.

"Standing up for my teammates," Price said, addressing the situation following his July 5 start in Texas. "Whatever crap I catch for that I'm fine with it."


David Price = ridiculous

Estimates are Kershaw out 4-6 weeks

And David Price is an overpaid prick

Why not stand up for the Hall of Famer doing his job and properly describing an absolutely shitting outing properly.

Now I'm pissed off
The fact that the entire Red Sox team is loaded with F-ing Asswipes doesn't surprise me.
I wish Eck would have punched him right in the pie hole. Then maybe all the punks could have come to the main punks aid.
I'd walk away from that plane and not go back. You're better than that, Eck. Let em all rot in their little pink hat hell.

I'm telling you guys; there is something very, very strange going on there in Boston. Because any of that could not be more out of Price's character from EVERYTHING I've ever seen of him and his family.

Very, very strange. I'd normally be totally with you guys on Eck (even though I'll never forgive him for stealing Puck's MVP), but this is weird. There must be more to that story that we're not hearing.

I wonder if Price would have been offended if Eck said "not good" instead of "yuck?"

I see Alex Meyer is on the DL with a messed up shoulder. Shoulder injuries are the worst. I wouldn't doubt if it's close to over for him.

How often has Thome been an analyst on MLB Network this season? First time I've seen him. A nice change of pace. I'd pair him up with Eric Byrnes.

Cue the bitching and moaning, but Keith Law just put out his top 5 minor league systems rankings.

#2? The White Flags. Man, have they reloaded big time. I don't think they've ever had a minor league system in the 20 or so years that I've followed the minors that's been higher than 25 or so. They are going to be a force with us and the Tribe in a couple years.

PLEASE no one let the Tiggers see what they're doing and follow suit.

On another note? 4 and 5? Houston and the Yanks. Those teams are only going to get a lot better in the coming years. Scary thought.

The Reds completed the rare run-scoring triple play last night. Probably the first time we've ever seen that...well, since little league.

Got some intel on the Price/Eckersley drama this week. Let's just say that you guys that are pro-Eck in this shouldn't exactly jump to conclusions. There's a reason the whole team was standing up for Price, etc. A LOT more to this story than the Boston press would have you believe. Not to mention a lot of the racist stuff HAS been going on from the fans.

Until you share that intel, we have only what we've heard elsewhere to go on.

Eckersley is a hall of fame pitcher. Price acted a disrespectful prick. Now if there is something that Eckersley did outside of criticizing a shitty pitching outing with "yuck"...then please let us in on it so we can all make a truly informed decision.
