    Wow! I feel this franchise is in disarray but I may be a prisoner of the moment. They have terrible contracts, no GM or manager as of now and the front office is pulling this shit?

    Funny, but when owner John W. Henry filed for divorce from his second wife, no one raised the issue of whether he was distracted from his money management business or his ballclub. And wouldn't you know, the year he filed, 2007, the Red Sox won their second World Series on his watch.
    Luckily for the Red Sox, Henry had a prenup and Florida isn't a community property state.

    Now Henry is saying that he was against the Carl Crawford signing, another shot at Epstein. What good does this do?

    So the Red Sox drove the price up on the Angels, and other teams that wanted Carl. That, sadly is a legitiment move in today's day and age. Crawford calls them up, says "deal" and than Henry still signs on the dotted line. And now you say you where against it? Crawford played you for a fool. At least your NASCAR team may still win a championship.

    Henry said that he personally opposed signing Crawford, "but I don't meddle to the point of making decisions for our baseball people. This was driven, and Theo will tell you this, by our baseball people. It wasn't a PR move, and neither was the Gonzalez signing."

    don't take that comment out of context... he was just trying to prove it wasn't a PR move...

    It wasn't taken out of context and it's still a dumb thing to say especially when you have that player for six more years. It's news worthy because it was a shot at Theo and his baseball people that he's trying to take to Chicago with him. It's an extremely dumb thing for an owner to say and shows more of how the Red Sox are in disarray.

    Boston Red Sox starter Jon Lester admits to drinking beer in the clubhouse, but he says it has nothing to do with the team's September swoon.
