The CHB yesterday on Clay Buchholz's appearance at a charity event at Foxwoods despite medical and team clearance: "No matter how harmless it is ... it looks like a lapse in judgment."
Well, if it weren't for the media like The CHB, no one would even know about it. Certainly no one cares.

Remember Nomar? The CHB Doesn't
The CHB hates the Youkilis deal, saying he would have kept him in Boston no matter his attitude: "They got a bag of balls [for him]."
How things have changed. Was it really eight years ago where under almost identical circumstances he was insisting the Red Sox trade Nomar Garciaparra "(one of the best and most popular players in the history of the Red Sox franchise") because of injuries and poor play? "Everybody's favorite Red Sox appears to have become a wildly unhappy ballplayer, struggling to return from an injury, resentful of the front office, and determined to walk at the end of the season."
The echoes are resounding. Heck, both players were even traded to the same city. You'd think someone who trades so much on history would, you know, remember some of it.
(At least this time, The CHB didn't falsely announce Youkilis had been traded to the Twins.)

Rehashing in the Ivy
June 17.
Wrigley Field.
Red Sox-Cubs.
"What a Field Day for the Hate," says The CHB, who knows a little something about hating and being hated.
After rehashing, for the umpteenth time, the bad blood between Dale Sveum and the Red Sox owners (really, a misstatement -- there's no reason to think the Red Sox owners don't like Sveum. After all, they employed him for two years and then interviewed him for the manager's job. It is, however, easy to see why Sveum, manager of the worst team in baseball, might be a tad peeved that he had to settle for the Cubs job.); Larry Lucchino and Theo Epstein (never heard that one before); Terry Francona and the Red Sox owners (nor that one); and Starlin Castro and Bobby Valentine (you really think Bobby V cares what a middle infielder on a last place team in the other league thinks of him?).
Oh, the humanity.
Not done, The CHB turns his sights on Josh Beckett, who "simply loves playing the bad guy." Projection alert!
Can't believe he left out Larry Bird and Dr. J. Missed opportunity there.

Swooning for Sveum
Why does The CHB care so much for Dale Sveum?
It can't be because he's been a successful major league manager.
What pictures does Sveum have of The CHB with those farm animals outside of Milwaukee, anyway?
