KR at the bus stop

Does he not ever write anything good about the Red Sox? Instead of titling his latest post "The Red Sox are good but still needy," he could have put a positive spin and titled it, "The Red Sox have some needs but still are good."

KR backpeddles on race issue he posted about in 2008

In 2008, Rosenthal was taken out behind the woodshed for a column he wrote about the racial make up of the Red Sox. That piece has been removed from the Fox sports web site.

Erik Gallant of MassLive.com examines Rosenthal's column that was posted yesterday where he revisited his controversial piece and performed a virtual u-turn on his position since 2008.

KR quoted Mike Cameron extensively in this piece, but it appears that he was not the one who was interviewing him. He notes that Cameron and Adrian Beltre actually chose to sign with the Red Sox despite Rosenthal's 2008 asssertion that the Sox are a racist team. Cameron was quoted rattling off a list of black players that spent time in Boston. Cameron also spoke with Red Sox Hall of Fame star Jim Rice about playing in Boston. Rice told him, "It was a great place to play baseball."

This is just one more reason not to take stock in anything KR says or writes.

Agent: Bay turns down offer from Red Sox

Me thinketh KR speaketh too soon. Absolutely nothing new in this redundant post:

Agent: Bay turns down offer from Red Sox


Jason Bay's tenure with the Red Sox appears over.

The free agent-left fielder Jason Bay has rejected the team's latest offer and is entertaining better proposals from other clubs, according to his agent, Joe Urbon. "We don't agree with their evaluation of the player," Bay's agent, Joe Urbon said. "Frankly, we have other offers on the table that are of greater interest to Jason."

Urbon left open the possibility that the Red Sox could circle back in the negotiations, but did not sound optimistic that it would happen, saying Bay was prepared to "move on."

The Red Sox reportedly offered Bay a four-year, $60 million contract.

The Mets reportedly offered a four-year, $65 million deal, and the Angels and Mariners are among the other clubs showing interest.

"Jason Bay has rejected the team's latest offer..."

Uh, Kenny boy, I do believe that the Sox to date have made only 1 offer, so please tell the world how he could reject a 'latest offer.'

So I guess Pedro didn't get shelled

Kenny Boy had this nugget in his post yesterday:

Of course, the other, perhaps more realistic, possibility is that the Yankees will simply crush Martinez and his diminished, 87-90 mph fastball.

Didn't seem like a whole lot of crushing in the Bronx last night.

NY Daily News Calls Out Kenny Boy

Ken Rosenthal can't wait for the Yankees to play in the World Series:

"It's like aura and mystique have made a comeback. Teams are falling apart at the sight of the Yankees," Rosenthal proclaimed. "We saw it in the division series and we're seeing it here in the ALCS.

The only problem was that the Yankees fell apart in last night's game, not the Angels.

Kenny boy wastes no time throwing Pap under a bus

More garbage from Kenny Boy. He blames it all on Pap.

Rosenthal: Postseason rants and rumblings

Blaah, blaah, blaah, blaah, blaah, blaah, blaah, blaah.

As usual, KR has nothing to say.
