Boston Sports Updates

Alright so Boston has been in the headlines today for two different notable things.

First, the Sox have hired Bobby Valentine as manager.

From ESPN:
BOSTON -- Bobby Valentine will become the 45th manager of the Boston Red Sox, sources close to the situation said Tuesday night.

Valentine, who has been in Japan on personal business and was offered the Red Sox job there, was scheduled to board a flight at around noon Wednesday in Tokyo (Tuesday night at midnight ET) and be in back in Boston by midafternoon. He was one of two finalists for the job, the other being Gene Lamont, a two-time manager currently serving as third-base coach for the Detroit Tigers.

I can't even really talk baseball right now but whatever happens the Sox need to make a few more moves to turn this shit around. They need to really gut the team and rebuild around Pedroia the Destroya. 'Nuff said. I'll let the talking heads fill in the rest.

Why try to trade away the future?

And the Celtics are in the heat of talks about the NBA free agency mad dash because of their interest in Crhsi Paul. Of course Paul doesn't want to go to Boston because they are old as fuck. HEre's the thing that confuses me about the whole Paul offer by the Celts.

They wanted to work out a trade centered around Chris Paul for Rondo and other shit. Rondo? Really? The only solid young guy on the team for CP 3? I mean Chris Paul is a beast, but I think Rondo is the best young point guard in the league. Why give that up for an over-priced Chris Paul? The fuck?

I'm glad he laughed at the deal, but I wonder what Rondo thinks of his management who was so quick to ditch him for an older point guard. Fucking C's. Why would you trade the future face of your franchise? I mean it's like when they traded Perkins for old dudes. Why are they. the oldest team in the NBA, trading up in age? What is this an old people community over there? Fuckin' a.
