Although now they're talking about who gets the captain's C after Tek leaves.
They think Youk should.

Pedroia.
Youk’s mentality (how he handles himself) is to time consuming as it is. His “I’m fucking pissed off because I just groundout and now my stats are .338, 23 HR, and 92 RBIs” is not team leadership quality. Don’t get me wrong, I love Youk, but he’s no captain.

So, because he's mad that he didn't do anything to help out the cause, he's a bad choice?
I’d like to see both as Capitans.

When Tek goes the C goes
In my opinion it’s too close to call.
You don’t want to slit other guys, by giving it to one player instead of the other.

Agreed.
I think Tek was only like the fourth captain in team history, so I don’t see them rushing to find another one.

I did not follow either trial/story
and am in no way defending either but need to know the facts and am certain Hall & his legal team will appeal and try for a reduced sentence. If guilty, 45 years isn’t enough, imo.
Will google the Stallworth story now

Are you suggesting that manslaughter is worse than rape?
Esp. when it was a girl he was coaching? She’s supposed to be able to trust him – they always say that if someone’s abusing you, go to a parent, teacher, coach, or another trusted adult, providing they aren’t the abuser.
I’m not saying Stallworth is a much better person – he still was drinking and driving, and he should have gotten a much longer sentence (which he would have if he wasn’t able to pay off the vic’s family), but at least his was semi-accidental. Hall also molested another girl, so he’s got a record.

read the opening paragraph of the Stallworth matter
Apparently, the victim’s family wanted to “put it behind them” and Stallworth reached a financial settlement was all I needed to read. I’d like to believe I could be that understanding and forgiving.

The difference is intent.
Drinking and driving is a really stupid thing to do. If you drink, drive, and kill someone I think you should get way more than a month. However, he didn’t intend to kill someone. It a horrible mistake, it isn’t a violent act of abuse.
by ruktuim on Jun 18, 2009 7:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Also, the details
The prosecutors were worried about being able to get a conviction. Apparently the guy Stallworth hit ran into the street just before he got hit, so there wasn’t much Stallworth could do to avoid the accident, no matter what he did.
by lone1c on Jun 18, 2009 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They have some sort of video evidence?
Or is this from Stallworth’s testimony? If the latter, could his delayed reaction from the alcohol have affected his sense of time?

lone1c is right
Apparently the guy ran into the street nowhere near a crosswalk. Stallworth didn’t have to time to react before he hit him, sober or not. The case was determined by some Florida law that says if you get into a accident drunk, but the drunkenness wasn’t a factor in the accident, then you will get off with a reduced sentence.
by Gnick on Jun 18, 2009 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wow, that's f'd up.
The guy doesn’t cross at a crosswalk, he gets punished by karma with a face full of car. Stallworth endangers himself and everyone else on the road, yet all that happens to him is a few weeks of prison (most likely a cushy cell too) and he loses money that he wouldn’t have had if he wasn’t so good at a kid’s game. Life really isn’t fair.

Would you want to be punished if someone randomly ran out in front of your car and you hit and killed them?
Now, I’m not saying that his drunkenness didn’t endanger people, but the Florida legal system has determined that it did not cause the accident, so I don’t know if it would be fair to punish him on that if it didn’t have anything to do with the accident.
by Gnick on Jun 18, 2009 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'd probably appreciate some sort of punishment to make me feel better.
I’m not sure I’d be able to deal with having killed someone.
I’m probably frustrated about him getting such a short sentence for the sole reason that he could afford to pay the vic’s family.

not being cynical about the system but see Jayson Williams’ case.

But part of punishment is to prevent him from doing it again.
Huge jump, but it’d be like a serial killer being forgiven by all of his victim’s families – they still need to be put away to try to keep them from doing it again, either by separation from society or by deterrence.

And names like Adam Dunn, Josh Willingham and Joe Beimel are going to be just as prominent in the Rumor Central annals over the next six weeks as Nick Johnson. But Johnson makes the most sense. He’s about to be a free agent. He doesn’t fit in D.C. long term. He’s still an on-base machine (.415 OBP, eighth in the NL). He hits left-handers (.333 average, .536 slugging percentage). And he’s played in 20 postseason games, back in his Yankees incarnation.
“They could move Dunn,” said an executive of one team. “But the price would be way too astronomical to actually make a deal. And if they move Nick Johnson, they accomplish what they need to accomplish. They’re better off putting Dunn at first base so they can play Willingham or other people in the outfield. And they’re more likely to move Johnson than Willingham, because at least Willingham they can control.”
It kind of backs up what a few of us have been arguing here: Dunn isn’t going anywhere.
At the same time Penny’s stock is rising, though, teams that have spoken to the Red Sox report they’ve slowed down their efforts to market him. At this point, they appear likely to wait at least a couple of weeks, so they can try to figure out the mystery of Daisuke Matsuzaka and assure themselves that John Smoltz is a guy they can count on.
The Red Sox also seem like they’re in no hurry to trade for a shortstop, either, even though they’ve clearly been shopping. They hope to get Jed Lowrie back by the first week of July. And even if they still feel a need to make a move, beware of all rumors linking them to players like J.J. Hardy, whom they’d have to commit to beyond this year.
According to an official of one club, they’re “not looking for a shortstop of the future.” Lowrie is still that guy. They’re looking only for someone to get them through the year. Period. So who does that leave? Jack Wilson if he comes cheap enough? Orlando Cabrera if all else fails? Both seem like long shots. Even Phillies prospect Jason Donald no longer fits, because he’s now out longer than Lowrie after tearing his meniscus.

It's OK
the writing is kind of juvenile. It somehow seems weak, like the choice of words don’t pack any punch.
Torre has some stories to tell though. His take on how the Sox “romanced” Schilling is neat and his obvious dislike for ARod is riotous.
Th best sports books I’ve ever read was Olney’s The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty. It isn’t so much about the glee of seeing the Yanks fall from grace but as a baseball fan, I just loved the behind scenes stories. It is incredibly well written.

yeah
am aware of the this & the projects undertaken by Rollins, Morgan, Sabathia, etc to get more Black youth involved in baseball.
All I am saying is this: considering the Sox history, the history in & of New England – especially Boston, it looks bad and when I noticed it, I had an unsettling feeling. As mentioned before, if a homer like Peter Gammons speaks of he racial issues in Boston….I can’t see why you can’t just see what I see but maybe that is why these discussions come about so often. I am not saying Epstein is racist and I really resent how a simple and honest observation about race leads to jokes & KKK comments- rungs below my intent .
I’ve been asked 1M times how can I support the Sox…It is no secret that the running joke is the avg Sox fan is an obnoxious racist white guy..Ive heard it, you must have as well. Look, Ive been in the bleachers— back when I went to college in Boston & it wasn’t pretty at times, so I can see how the stereotype came about. I’ve managed to look past my own experiences at the park & the former & I guess current Garden because I know crowds aren’t static and cant blame all for the behavior of some.
I dont lay this on the players not coming to Boston. The environment is important and I don’t mean that in an Al Gore global warming kinda way. That is pretty much all I have to say —here anyway

And I can give you a simple answer to why I didn’t realize why you were concerned about that: I don’t live in Boston, and I don’t ever really hear any stories about racist activities b/c those tend not to make national headlines unless they’re really shocking. My apologies.

does fan graph take rain forecasts into account? if so, then really really bad.

Nope, just looking at the records of every game from the past couple decades, IIRC.

Yeah, I know.
I don’t know if they even update the chances once it gets called..

Da.
Sox lose 2-1.
(Under the circumstances, it’s probably for the best. No point in taxing the bullpen for 3+ innings when Dice-K has to take the mound tomorrow.)

Yep.
Still wish we had managed more than 1 run through 5 innings.
