(Selig) may have, in fact, saved the industry from itself by acting to limit debt. |
[Goldman spoke to reporters outside the court after filing the motions. He said it] should be made clear ... will never profit from their father's body or the disposition of their father's remains. |
Baseball has to address the disincentives created by large-scale transfers of revenue from successful clubs to less successful clubs. At high enough tax levels, the incentive is to invest somewhere other than in baseball. |
Because of the long-term complications of cocaine use, we are looking at a healthcare time bomb, |
Ben and Jed accepted the GM roles on an interim basis with the expectation that [it] was likely Theo would be returning to the club at some point. They enabled us to move forward on a business-as-unusual basis, acting in the best interests of the Boston Red Sox. We agreed with them before they accepted their new positions as to what their ensuing positions would be, so this is hardly a demotion. |
Co-division champs. That's what I'm calling it, ... I can understand why there isn't (a playoff) but, frankly, I would have liked to have had one. It would have been nice to settle the division championship. |

Despite the attempts of some to portray Theo's return as a win for someone and a loss for someone else, this is a win-win situation. As Theo said in his press conference on Nov. 2, and as we have all repeated, there never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry's role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has. This has never been an issue for us - only in the media. |
Every April is sort of like Christmas. Opening Day comes and the changes in the park every year seem to be better and better, and this year is by the far the biggest and best yet. To have a beautiful, sunny day and 65 degrees to show it off is just extraordinary. |
Every postseason is wide open. When you have eight teams get in, no one team can have even a 20 percent chance of winning. |
From our perspective, we want to support the baseball classic but it's actually a plus for us he's coming here on March 1 and not going there, but we haven't asked him not to play. I think it's going to work out very well. |
He's done a terrific job from day one. Being the general manager of a baseball team is a very difficult job. Theo gives it everything he has in a very determined measure and selfless way. And he does it with great intelligence, discipline, honesty and humility. His record of results speaks for itself. |
I don't think there's an urgency, but it's something that's being discussed. |
I feel responsible. What could I have done? There's plenty I could have done. I have to ask myself, maybe, if I'm not fit to be principal owner of the Boston Red Sox. |
I have certainly made mistakes in the past by not being more assertive when bumps in the road appeared. Larry, Theo and other managers in the organization do not need me in order to excel at what they do, but I have a responsibility to ensure that divergent views and our overall direction lead to a better and stronger organization. We've averaged winning more than 95 games a year since we purchased the club. We've listened to the fans and improved the fan experience greatly. We have provided excitement during the season as well as the off-season. |
