Francesa has spent 3+ hours fighting with callers who are apoplectic over the Yankees losing last night...and questioning why Soriano (the 8th inning pitcher) was in there in the 8th inning...idiots
Where did you read that info? Everything I read says that the angels offer was 108. And that he was surprised that the angels did not offer more. I agree with your opinion on the media, but in this case I think he was right.Dopey Heyman was on this afternoon saying he thinks Crawford's first preference was to sign with the Angels. He apparently doesn't know the RS and Angels offered the same money. Francesa apparently didn't know either because he made no effort to correct Heyman. Lack of media accountability is annoying.
The Red Sox absolutlely did that yesterday. They didn't even bother with their usual charade of opening the park at 5 to grab some extra concessions money in the face of a certain rainout. If they did that last night, and the weather improved as the forecast called for, they would have been stuck playing a game they clearly didn't want to play. So they banged it nice and early.Francesa talking about how the Red Sox (using their private weather service) cancelled tonight's game to get 2 days off and get their pitching in order...he has no problem with the tactic and says the Yanks have done it also in the past.
That makes a lot of sense, but my first thought was that it was to preserve the sellout streak. I guess it could be both.The Red Sox absolutlely did that yesterday.

A quick google-Francesa says the average middle class person lives in a 3,000-3,500 square foot house.
Edit: "50 million, maybe more, live in 3500 square feet houses in this country."
He may very well be the stupidest human breathing air.Francesa says the average middle class person lives in a 3,000-3,500 square foot house.

If everyone is his size, we'll they'd have to be.He may very well be the stupidest human breathing air.
I would add that the book is not a flop merely because it has yet to crack the top 100, and that this snub naturally follows banging on the guy without respite. And I'm a rabid Pats fan.Jets coach Rex Ryan embarked on an extensive media campaign this week in support of his new book, Play Like You Mean It. But the effort didn’t include a visit with New York radio dean Mike Francesa of WFAN, and Francesa apparently wasn’t happy about that.
Via SportsGrid.com, Francesa pointed out that the book didn’t crack the top 100 on Amazon.com. “Go to the wrong places, you don’t get the right response,” Francesa said.
“I just wanted to mention that that book is a flop,” Francesa said later in the show.
He played college ball at BC, got tossed, landed at Fresno State under Jerry Tarkanian. Second-round NBA pick of Denver back in 1999, eventually played a bit for the Celtics.thanks. why was he on? Is he well known? I've never heard of him?
Got a kick outta' one of the callers around 5:45 PM that called to speak to Herron:He played college ball at BC, got tossed, landed at Fresno State under Jerry Tarkanian. Second-round NBA pick of Denver back in 1999, eventually played a bit for the Celtics.
Chris and his brother Mike are local legends in Fall River, great athletes who battled substance abuse problems. Chris says he is clean now. The reason he's in the news is because Providence sports writer Bill Reynolds has written a book on Herren that is a followup for a book Reynold wrote about "Fall River Deams" or something of that sort back when Chris was in high school.
This is a routine complaint from the Pope. It seems to stem back to the fact that the Sox beaned Jeter et al frequently during the Torre years, and Torre never retaliated. This argument convieniently ignores the fact that the Yanks went inside on Papi last night, only to have Papi belt the next pitch into the seats.Well, here's a surprise. The Sox beat the Yanks and Fatso is calling for the Yankee pitchers to start throwing at Red Sox hitters. "They're too comfortable!" Is it just me or does this happen every time the Sox win in the Bronx?
That's the most hilarious part of this whole thing. Plus they used to cry all the time about Pedro brushing guys back and hitting people. The hypocrisy and stupidity is endless.Has anyone pointed out to the fat man yet that Noesi did brush back Papi on Tuesday night? And that it happened right before Papi yanked one out of the park and then proceeded to implement the most despicably insulting bat flip in the history of flying cylindrical objects. Why exactly would they want to do that again?
