If they do meet in dark alley, I’d advise Mr. Simers to dress like Sara Palin. Then he will be above reproach in the Giant Forehead’s eyes.

LOL…Callahan can’t even win support from the home-town folks. You know you’re a despised tool when you reach that point. As for the ‘SHOPPER’ description: PERFECT!

I fear for the self esteem of Mr. Simers when he reads Callahan’s frosty rebuttal missive. The man will surely quake upon reading the words, “Hey punk! I bet you’re the kind of guy that says things like (please, do me a favor and read the following in your best whiny, baby voice. If you could really do this, it will make my words hurt all the more. See, I used to be a decent writer but the simplicity of shouting nonsense on the AM dial really stole my heart, so now, you know, I don’t much care about the actual “smithing” of words. I don’t much care for reasoned thought either. So if I could just project what I think you are going to say and make said projection in a demeaning voice, well gosh, that’s kind of all I can do these days. I have to say- by the way, I’m glad we can share like this- do you have a myspace page? Anyhoo, I’m all kerfuffled right now so here goes, and remember the whiny voice!…”

So be a nice guy, always be available for the media, under-perform, and that’s okay. Get stabbed in the back numerous times while you’re shipped out of town, respond in kind, and you’re an ass…Makes sense to me.

Yes, but V-teck and Lowell are still with the team: they didn’t suddenly decide to stop playing, assault a senior citizen, and offer a smorgasboard of insane interviews where they bashed their employers and the fans. There’s a difference between criticizing the man for leaving the way he did and acting like Mikey Adams who was probably unaware of what Jason Bay looked like before last night.

I don’t know what Callahan’s response will be, but I’m sure it will be snide and condescending.

Enough with the Manny bashing. He did more for the Sox this year than media darlings Varitek and Lowell.

I can’t wait for Gerry to blame Obama for Manny’s problems, it is funny to hear Gerry defend the traveling sec. of the red sox knowing that Pres. Bill Clinton had to give him a pardon, not often does Gerry defend a Clinton guy

I’m not sure if it was right for Callahan to go after Simers, classic “Shooting the messenger”. And it’s hard to blame the LA media and fans for their kid-gloves treatment of Manny since they haven’t been put through not jogging/running thru the stop sign/leaving bat on shoulder against rivera/shoving 64 year olds etc yet.
