CHICAGO - Pass the sour grapes. Serve the Haterade in paper cups. Bring out Rod “He Hate Me’’ Smart for the ceremonial first pitch.
The Red Sox played the Cubs at Wrigley Field Saturday night, and the hours before the game featured enough snubs and awkward moments to fill a full season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.’’

"Ditto for Sveum. The Cubs manager can't be a big fan of Henry, Lucchino, and Werner, who apparently dismissed him as a managerial candidate because he burped at lunch in Milwaukee." I do not know what this means. Is it a metaphor for some inartful response to a question during an interview? The ambiguity, if it is intended to be a metaphor, is deliberate. More games.It lowers the columnist to the same level as his subjects. Do we know what Beckett's injury is?
Shaugnessy: he may not know anything about baseball, but he can sure spin soap operas.
Generally fair, accurate and amusing, but it is well known that Theo never wanted Carl Crawford, he was a Werner/Lucchino stroke of genius.
Amusing, but the word "hate" is a bit over-the-top, and probably doesn't apply in most of these cases. There are people who I dislike, but I don't "hate" them.
I get bad vibrations reading most of your columns. Hate's a bit strong, don't you think? Quit trying to be such an extremist already. According to you the Boston teams are either a collection of under-achieving misfits (when they are losing)or the greatest group of men ever put together (when they win).
bottom line is epstein nuked the rs and the rs will pay kazillions for his mistakes: crawful lackey gonzalez... while inepstein grins and goes to the bank
GOD, DAN, WHAT A WASTE OF SPACE YOUR VAPID COLUMN OCCUPIES. WHY NOT SIT HOME AND LISTEN TO THE RADIO TALK SHOWS AND THEN JUST WRITE IT UP. WHOSE ACTUALLY PAYING FOR YOUR TRIPS? TALK TO SOMEONE OR WRITE ABOUT THE GAMES. I MEAN ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE FIELD. SUCH MEANINGLESS CRAP. TOO LONG AT THE GAME FOR YOU, APPARENTLY, WHERE DRIVEL IS ALL THAT DRIVES YOU?
