Nonsense.
While I don't care for a lot of the shit the media spews the vast majority of it is factual and reported responsibly.
I was watching the game that night when Eck said "yuk" in response to OB stating ERod's line in Pawtucket. It was only one word out of a benign exchange concerning the progress the gimp had made and what the team was looking for.
Eck, in this instance at least, said NOTHING critical or offensive. I very much doubt that any of the individuals that confronted Eck or laughed even heard or saw a replay of what he had said.
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
And we can add in the ever so lovable Pedroia as a co-conspirator since he was one of the guys rooting on Price.
Great...
Fire Farrell.
I don't doubt this but how do you know? I have not seen any Sox reports today.
If this so I am not surprised.
TRADE PEDROIA!!!!!!

Not so fast - the first report said that he was much a part of it. The second said he was nowhere near and said nothing. I'll just say what I said earlier - were they all even on the right plane. Maybe even a Price look-a-like. Write a story - if it sells and somebody thinks that it is just filled with with good honest journalism, good for them.
Second report today, took it back. Pedroia evidently wasn't even close. A weird story getting weirder.
They could trade them all save Sale and Kimbrel and I'd be ok with it. It is a joke.
There seems to be some question as to whether Pedroia was one of the ones cheering on Price. I would expect better from Dustin ( That's not how we do things around here ) Pedroia. It would be interesting to know just which players were involved.
Yes, they were all on the plane. It was a chartered plane for the Sox and NESN.
Is there a bigger bunch of snowflakes than Boston sportswriters?
Where's the second report? I don't see a retraction on CSNNE.
Yup, the 25 man roster. Don't dare say "yuck" about a bad performance of theirs!
Haha, seems like a toxic combo.
Yup, which is why they need a stronger leader than Farrell.
I have no problem with players bitching at beat reporters as it's easy to just not read the paper. Taking on the broadcasters is a bit much for me.
