• 7:14 PM Don on Report: J.D. Drew, Johnny Damon unknowingly benefited from Ponzi scheme

  Interesting that ALL of the players involved were clients of Scott Boras. I mean, Boras is such a "clean dealing" and honest man himself. It was strictly an accident that the Yankees weren't even in the Mark Texeira discussions until ALL of the other interested teams had made their best and final offer. I wouldn't do business with the man. When he dies they'll have to screw him into the ground!

  A 9-3 loss to the worst team in baseball. I'll Brad Penney slept well last night.

• 10:11 PM Mike from a Humble Cubs Fan on Baseball Today: Manny still hitless in Albuquerque

  There for a while I thought Joe Mauer might be human but even his slump was short-lived. This guy might really have a shot at .400.

  Gotta love it... a Red Sox paper, Sox in first, and all you can write about is the Yankees? Unbelievably pathetic.

• 1:23 PM John Bonang on Phillies still closely watching Penny

  There are always risks, but with the type of backup talent waiting in the wings, it would seem easier to accept making this kind of move. The thing is that Brad Penny is a valued commodity right now, he has done well .... so there is the question....will he continue riding the "high road" or fall off to the "low road"? Seems like you're always rolling the dice.

• 6:46 PM b johnson on N.Y. Times: Sammy Sosa tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003

  Okay, and the big surprise here is? Is baseball purposely releasing one name at a time to keep the interest floating? Just release all the names at once and get it over with!

• 9:50 PM reb on With Smoltz coming, Penny strong on mound and in opposition to pen role

  Slim, I don't believe the Red Sox would trade Dice-K. The Red Sox org. has worked hard to build a fanbase in Japan (= revenues) on this man's back, and would not want to see the potential backlash... public opinion is usually not a factor to the GM but in this case it would be. The obvious solution is to suddenly discover an "injury" which must be rehabbed. Alas, they have already (just) played that card with Dice-K.

• 2:01 PM rick on With Smoltz coming, Penny strong on mound and in opposition to pen role

  Dice-K has a no minors in his contract unless the Sox and Dice dream up a faux injury for rest and rehab. MDC is a valuable trade option for a team that is in need of a quality set up and potentially fine closer. Bard is most likely to be optioned. No one really knows status of Smoltz and I and many others had the tar and feathers out for Penny after his first few starts. Could be same with Smoltz.

• 10:40 PM slim on With Smoltz coming, Penny strong on mound and in opposition to pen role

  Send Dice-K to the minors? Even though it couldn't be done due to contract stipulations, it's not a good idea. The Sox need help at SS,DH and don't forget Lowell is not getting any younger so thinking about the future at either 3rd or 1st can't be over looked. Trade Dice-K, Buckholtz and Bowden are still in the monors and are the future(plus oh yeah Penny) and get some help. Dice-K has some value and lets face the facts he hasn't ever proven that he can handle the A.L..

  No can do. Dice-K's contract stipulates he can't be sent to the minors.

• 4:44 PM Jeff Z on With Smoltz coming, Penny strong on mound and in opposition to pen role

  Sending Dice K to the minors (or back to Japan with a Thank You card) would be a great idea, but he has it written into his contract that he cannot be sent to the minors. And, without knowing the guy, I find it highly unlikely that he waives that right. So, there's that.

  Sending Dicek to Pawtucket is the best solution and don't forget about Buckholtz.

  I was having the same thought...

  Putting Matsuzaka in the minors is a ggod suggestion. Maybe he could re think his approach to getting major league hitters out.

• 12:28 PM 8 and Oh-yeah! on Beanball war continues between Yanks and Sox

  You're feeling comforatable Hyperonimo? Must be pretty crowded at the bottom. The Yanks can beat up on mediocre teams all year. When they play the contenders like Boston is when their true colors show. 0 and 8 is pretty revealing. And switch the series around?!? What are you talking about?! They get swept out of Boston and you're going to argue they'd be up by 6 games if they won all 3? They can't even win 1 game against the Sox, let alone 3! Go back to NY.

• 11:02 AM Larry on With Smoltz coming, Penny strong on mound and in opposition to pen role

  Although it would require some thinking out of the box and some persuasion, the smart thing to do would be to send Matsusaka to Providence to try to learn to pitch at the major league level.
