You mean like sixth in cy young voting? He was injured last year after what was a very good start to the season.

Well, he sure worked out better than that damn Dice K guy!

Funniest thing I've heard in days.

I'm sure it crossed his mind. Guillen isn't exactly known for showing humility.

[ChadFL]

Well this is an interesting poll. I'll bet the surprisingly high number of Cuban-Americans backing Guillen is due to the generation gap. Let's face it, we're a half century removed from the Castro power taking power in Cuba. The earliest waves of refugees are either very old or have since passed on and the younger generation of Cuban-Americans are proving to be much more liberal and open to resuming diplomacy with Cuba. Seems like a good deal of the uproar over Guillen's comments came from certain anti-Cuba groups representing only a small % of that community.

Ozzie Guillen is viewed unfavorably by nearly half of Cuban-Americans surveyed in an ESPN-commissioned poll, but nearly two-thirds of Miami residents, and 56 percent of Cuban-Americans, think Guillen should keep his job despite comments about Fidel Castro that earned the Miami Marlins' manager a five-game suspension.

Only 27 percent of Miami-area Cuban-Americans view Guillen favorably, while 28 percent view him "extremely unfavorably," according to a survey of more than 900 adults in the Miami media market. The survey was conducted on Tuesday by ESPN and the Global Strategy Group and included more than 200 Cuban-Americans. The overall margin for error is plus-or-minus 3.2 percent.

So your getting back on the bandwagon I guess. Lol.

Santos is still young he's going to have his bumps along the way, people expect him to be at Mariano Riveras calibre but its just not realistic.

You can't have all your sports teams dominate every year. Let's see you had the Bruins win the Stanley Cup last season, the Patriots made it to the Super Bowl this year and win the division every year, the Celtics have been contenders the last 5 years and won a Championship in 2008.

I think it's about time one sports franchise in Boston starts to tank. What better team than the Red Sox.

Johan Santana is taking notes and learning what its like to face a real legend Strasburg had 9k's and 2 hits

Guess you forgot 2008 and 2009. I'd have blocked those years out too especially 08

what did you think of our rookie David Phelps? Guy has some nasty stuff, was striking people out left and right

Phelps is off to a solid start. Hopefully, he'll stay on that. I knew that Friday was just a hiccup for Mo

They're calling for High of 67°F, Overnight Low of 55°F, 20% chance of precipitation.

I've attached a picture of our view. Hmmm, might wear my Yankees 2009 Championship sweatshirt.

Box seats suck, box seats suck. Ahem, sorry. The bleacher creature in me came out. I'm taking this year off from going to the stadium. I'm been there so many times, that it's burned me out. I might go during the playoffs (granted that we make it).

Haha, yeah it's all good, my focus is on the Bruins and Celtics right now anyway. The Sox have a lot of new faces this year they're off to a stinky start.

[Navster]

Guys it's way to early to be worried about a slow start, remember its not how you start, but how you finish

[fatediesel]

I already feel like giving up on the Cubs. I knew they weren't going to be good but so far their offense has just been awful.

Don't remind SDon about finishes.
