You have to wonder, what on earth are the Miami Marlins doing? Stunning MLB news today as it is starting to break that the LA Dodgers have landed Hanley Ramirez and his very, very big bat in a several-player-deal that is heavily weighted in the Dodgers favour At first glance it would appear Miami might be in the middle of a big salary (and talent) dump, the deal is that lopsidedIf you recall, the Marlins dumped every decent part of its roster after World Series wins in '97 and '03, this time round they would appear to have forgotten to win the series before dumping its rosterThe ugliest part of this is the Marlins front office is now going to attempt to sneakily assasinate Ramirez around baseball by releasing thinly veiled hints in regards club house chemistry and so on READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/from-the-bleachers/red-sox-players-again-under-attack-this-time-for-not-attending-johnny-peskys-funeral-167309475.html http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/from-the-bleachers/red-sox-players-again-under-attack-this-time-for-not-attending-johnny-peskys-funeral-167309475.html Red Sox players again under attack, this time for not attending Johnny Pesky's funeral (IrishCentral) Fri, 24 Aug 2012 05:31:48 PDT
In this lost Red Sox 2012 season, the anger and frustration continues to rise As you probably already know, the latest drama is around the funeral of the late great Johnny Pesky, which was on Monday morning There were four Red Sox players amongst the estimated hundred Sox front office and coaching staffs present at the funeral That same night, Josh Beckett held his annual (since 2006) fundraising event in a bowling hall, and basically most of the Red Sox players attended READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/from-the-bleachers/the-la-dodgers-represent-great-world-series-value-at-121-167565705.html http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/from-the-bleachers/the-la-dodgers-represent-great-world-series-value-at-121-167565705.html The L.A.

In case you were hidden under a rock, buried deep in episodes of The Kardashians or blinded by endless naked Prince Harry pictures, you should probably know that sometime between Friday and Saturday the Red Sox and the LA Dodgers pulled off probably the biggest single trade in MLB history The Dodgers gave up a group of prospects (including the wonderfully named Rubby De La Rosa) whilst in return Boston shipped off Adrian Gonalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and (don’t forget!)

Sitting there eating popcorn watching Josh Reddick mash and swagger his way through the playoffs, his locks blowing in the wind, it is hard not to think, ‘what might have been?’ if the swashbuckling young man had stayed in a Boston Red Sox jersey Damn would he look good patrolling right field, providing the finishing touches to an outfield of Ross\Ellsbury\Reddick which would be more than competitive, even amongst the daily grind of the AL East Of course, Reddick isn’t the only ‘one that got away’Extrapolating this line of thoughts further it didn’t take long to create an entire team of former Red Sox from around the Major Leagues READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/story/roots/the_american_in_ireland/the-mets-are-too-dumb-to-win-180216421.html http://www.irishcentral.com/story/roots/the_american_in_ireland/the-mets-are-too-dumb-to-win-180216421.html The Mets are too dumb to win (IrishCentral) Tue, 20 Nov 2012 12:31:13 PST

You may have noticed the Boston Red Sox are doing their utmost to change their club house environment for the better They have been bringing in ‘high character’ type players all offseason long The team is clearly trying to send a message, move on together, and get away from the ’25 guys, 25 cabs’ mentality that prevailed over much of the last two seasons in BostonThis apparent change to in-house culture obviously hasn’t been completely finalised as yet, as one massive, glowing, shining neon light of potential disaster is still emanating from one of the lockers in the Sox clubhouse READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/sport/Derek-Jeter-unnerves-Yankee-fans-with-no-fixed-date-for-bouncing-off-the-disabled-list-200418691.html http://www.irishcentral.com/sport/Derek-Jeter-unnerves-Yankee-fans-with-no-fixed-date-for-bouncing-off-the-disabled-list-200418691.html Derek Jeter unnerves Yankee fans with no fixed date for bouncing off the disabled list (IrishCentral) Thu, 28 Mar 2013 06:09:03 PDT
