I am so thankful I don’t have to answer scores of silly questions from a bunch of miserable pricks at the end of every work day.  That would suck. “Why’d you do this?  Why’d you do that?”  Fah-Q.

I find Ordway obnoxious, and generally irritating.  He was true to form today!…..I don’t listen to him,…and only did so this afternoon,because I was in someone else’s car!

ps. He also has a bad voice for radio.

 That would suck if you got payed whatever you get paid now. If you made tons of money to manage one of the most popular sports teams in town you’d have known long before you ever took the job that this was coming… and happily take your checks to the bank.

Who proof reads these articles…It’s “WRITE” that answer, not “RIGHT” that answer…Geez!
   Let me guess, they have hotdogs “four sail” at the ball games…? 

Glenn should be ashamed of himself.  If he read Cafardo’s piece, it stated “If they believe that Valentine showing up late one time for a 7:10 game (at 4:15) was an egregious offense — he was picking up his son and got caught in traffic — then he will be fired.”  In the Valenbtine interview, Glenn only referenced Cafardo as writing Valentine was late without stating that Cafardo mentioned the reason.  Hopefully, Valentine will read all the pieces about his being late and realize Glenn’s irresponsibility.

Bud

Yeah Phil.  You dont listen and you dont check out the website either.  LOL.  What a moron

As Bryce Harper would say “that’s a clown question bro”. BV should be insulted by the interview…..really a interrogation.

Just fire bobby v already red sox. And when your asked a question answer it don’t lash out at the radio host bobby v.

Boycott WEEI and Ordway. Boston wants sports reporting.

bobby v is doing what he can dealing with those pampered jacka$$$ and i say let fenway burn baby burn.

glenn orway is a douche bag. he is now and has always been one. they brought holley in to save the show, but their days are numbered. i would pay a $1,000. to see valentine punch orway in the mouth. the boston media ran duquette out of town just the way they are doing to valentine. now duquette has his baltimore team tied for first  with the yankees. just look around and see how many radio and print guys there is in boston. it is embarrassing listening to another douche bag name callahan in the morning. i would swear callahan chewed on window sills as a child. i don’t think there is a baseball manager alive that could do a better job than what valentine was dealt. he lost his starting left and center fielder for at least four months. he just got back his closer after 5 months. youkilis was traded and his replacement broke his wrist. he lost pedroia for a good length of time. and then he lost ortiz for the rest of the year.  his 1 and 2 starters stunk up the season. they had to trade gonzo to get rid od crawford and beckett. then they bring up aaa players to get a look at them. what manager could ever win with what has happened to valentine. i was not in favor of his hiring, but i like what he has done. he was a better manager of the bullpen than francona ever was. francona was always an inning late and was afraid to waer out the bullpen. sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. francona was lucky, but many other managers could win with a $170,000,000 payroll. i hope henry and his partners have the balls to stand up against the lousy negative boston media. i hope thay bring valentine back to manage in 2013. 

First time I think I see Valentine in a good light.  But I have been complaining about these reporters wanting to give a reality TV show thing rather than report on baseball.  Hey, a lot of the things in here were reported by Alex Speier in his recent article.  He should explain why he never gave all the facts like for example, it is not late coming at 4 if other managers come by then and the poor guy is picking his son up at the airport.  Maybe Alex doesn’t have a son. 

Glenn Ordway – be a man. Don’t bait someone. You’ll pay for that. Hell, if I was there, I’d punch you in the mouth too and send you to the dentist, you lousy good for nothing obnoxious POS. And that’s exactly what you are. The people in Boston don’t care for you. This is just another reason why.

Bobby will be getting paid by the red sox nest year to do nothing. He will be laughing his way to the bank. The media has been total DB’s to this guy since he got here. 

If it isn’t contractual, I would never go on with Ordway. Give the guy a chance to answer a legit question as opposed to “Have you checked out?”…The whole damn team has checked out. BV should not be back, but whoever comes in better be a personable yes man or the same thing is going to happen.

Ordway, are you for real?  Is that the best you can do?  I’m not a big fanof BV, but there is no evidence to support asking that question.  I stopped listening to you 2 years ago. Questions like that one to BV is why I stopped listening to your show.

Ordway was just doing his job asking Hard questions of a manager who has quit just like the team.  To all of those who do not like Glen and Holley then I suggest you listen to all of those sports-talk show based in NYC, like the Band Wagon sports network ESPN or YES or SNY.
Go ahead with this silly boycott of WEEI, what are you little girly-men going to listen to, Flushed Limbaugh or some other Lying talking Dead Head. 
The Red Sox Suck, period and blaming WEEI is just childish a and wimping out.  I have been a fan of the Red Sox since the mid 1970′s and the team Sucks, Period!

Ordway is such a hack.  Ask the same question ninety different ways…

Glen, what a stupid question to ask.  You didn’t have any facts when you asked it and Bobby V had every right to erupt.  Everyone assumes and doesn’t ask.  You sounded like a complete idiot. Shame on the Big Show. No class. No class at all.

I pity whoever has no choice but to talk to this schmuck on a daily basis, let alone decipher an entire conversation with him.

I can’t believe how clueless Ordway is, then he spends the rest of his show defending himself. Any MAN would want to punch someone in the mouth if they questioned his commitment. Unbelievable Glenn, wake up.

So long as people recognize Bobby as the psychologically unstable person he is, then everything should be fine. Some reporters though are big time sell outs and the mean ones have accepted the fact that they are going to be immoral pricks. This particular predicament is an example of something I’ve always disliked about sports. Although it may seem entertaining, it does really affect the viewers’ judgements when they misinterpret these situations, like a lot of people who believe in the comments they post here. Come on everybody…. it’s just baseball

I think the boston media is way out of control, and out of line. Not just about this particular issue but with all the 4 major sports. Talk radio ya it;s good but out of controll. I dont blame athletes when the get frustrated with reporters, its a joke they have to print article and sell papers. And of course now bot boston sports talk sations or now pitted against eahc other.

no, but thank God we have you to correct the grammar. 

This manager has conducted himself like a moron all year. I have zero sympathy to see him picked on by the media

If Bobby V’s Red Sox career was a horse … they’d shoot it.

ordway’squestion was insulting.what a blowhard.

I know the feels it needs red meat, and Bobbie did himself no favors with that interview, but I’m getting a bit sick of the notion that the team isn’t trying hard enough, that the Sox should be doing all they can to win every game, and that if they aren’t they need to fire the manager right away.

With last night’s loss, the Sox swapped positions with the Padres, and
rose to 9 in the reverse standings, which by last year’s figures earns
them another $129,000 or so cap dollars. Losses are so much more valuable than wins right now.

Until 2013, winning is losing and losing is winning.

 should be the _media_ feels it needs red meat….

Ordway sucks big time. All he does is kick people when they’re down. I hope he never travels that road in his life time. Also WEEI is becoming a clown station. They have terrible hosts Glenn and Steve D are the worst.

Ok, we all
agree, Bobby Valentine was not the right guy for the job but what Ordway did
yesterday was extremely bush league and unprofessional.

That was an
ambush in the worst way, with the only purpose being to incite a hostile
response and to “make news, not just report it”.
It’s this
kind of behavior that promotes the belief that the Boston media is biased and
is more interested in getting a story first instead of getting it right.

Make no
mistake, ownership has enough history and cause to terminate Valentine at any
time and they will, without the need for the sensational garbage that you
create.

Do
yourselves a favor and stop being that National Enquire for Boston Sports!

What is the aim ow WEEI, to make people look bad?  They seem to delight in smearing people, it’s as simple as that, I don’t like Bobby V, but I would never try to make him look bad like these puppets at WEEI, his actions speak louder than words, and the so called reporters are simply muck rakers who soul purpose in life is to demean people, how can you guys look in the mirror, oh I guess you’ve passed that point a long time ago.  Adios to this rotten mud slinging outift.

It seems that hey are used to mud slinging, plus you’ve got guys with no pride in important positions Schill, that rat is mouthing off about Valentine, yet he’s cost lots of people their jobs and bankrupted many also, this is a national disgrace and ESPN couldn’t care less, what is going on here?

Good post, I disagree on Valentine as manager, but I respect what you said and he did do a good job under terrible circumstances, he made enemies along the way and he is mentally unstable, there can be no doubt about that, I just wish this club was sold right away, it’s so easy to see that little or no progress will be made as long as Leaping Larry is playing Puppet Master and guiding this fiasco that is called a FO, I’ll always love the Red Sox, but we need a strong FO with interests in Baseball only, now I hear the Soccer team is in terrible shape and Liverpool is likely to blow up!  Get with the program John, sell this club to somebody that has the interests of Boston at heart.

You got that right, this is not media, it is jackals manipulating facts to their advantage & then upsetting the Applecart & making a big production out of nothing when you come right down to it!  This is their continual motive, it’s sickening. I’m very fortunate that I seldom listen to this gossip station, how many lives has it ruined?

Well Nate you are one for the books, we are specifically talking about WEII, not other stations, regarding the issue at hand it seems 95-1 that Ordway is lucky he didn’t get punched in the mouth, I think even you can understand that?  I’ve been a fan since 1950 and have undergone worse teams than this, it’s a miracle this team has done as well as it has considering all the injuries, trades, underperforming players and the like, then listening to you calling loyal fans “little girly-men” reflects your shallow persona, you should be a major figure in WEEI as you have what it takes to be a MuckRaker and just a plain rotten no where man!

The show should and could accurately be called the “Big Snowjob”

It’s almost like pitting Evil vs Evil, when you get a scum bag like Schilling throwing dirt around, you have to question his employer, ESPN , they obviously have no scruples.

It’s very cool that he waited for his son. He could afford to send a limo or a fleet of limos. But he stood by his promise despite the fact that it might not have been the best thing for his job. Perfect example of family before work.

That is part of the job, and why it is not easy to manage in this town. Of course winning makes everything easier, but part of the job is communicating with the press — that is how we learn about the team. One of the things that has changed in the game is that the successful managers are ones who never get too high, and never get too low. A steady even keel. 

As far as the team, well, when you fire the best manager this team has EVER had (I know there was a manager who won two world championships back in 1915-16, but the team wasn’t under the glare of the media that it is today. 

What this shows is a manger under a great deal of stress. Do people think Francona had to deal with that? How do you think it was to manage Manny every day. But he rarely spoke of it in the media. Rather like Belichick. 

But Valentine has a hard time knowing when to keep his mouth shut. There is a reason he hadn’t managed in the major leagues for ten years.

He got this way 30 years ago when he went after Don Zimmer. Zim just never learned to shut the radio off. 

Then why are you here? 

Perhaps “many” managers could win a world championship, but Francona DID. TWICE. And not exactly easy circumstances. He brought this team back down 0-3, and then pulled the team to four straight wins just to get to the Series. Obviously the players have to play, and there is luck involved, but Fracona put those players in position to win. That 2004 postseason was one of the greatest comebacks of all time. 

Every team has injuries. But if you give players an excuse to lose (the injuries, the umpires, a fan grabbing a ball) then they will find a way to lose. 

Even with the terrible April and September, the Sox were in it until the last day of the season. (and both New York and Tampa were eliminated in the first round). 

You don’t get rid of a manager as successful as Francona unless you know you will have someone better to replace him.

And by ANY objective measure, Valentine was NOT a better manager. One of the biggest factors in 2011 was the loss of John Farrell. If the Sox are lucky, they MAY get him to come here as manager, and settle the pitching staff down. That has been the glaring weakness. 

But there needs to be changes made in the ownership (and Lucchino) and how they interfere in the decision making process. 

Valentine NEVER won a championship. His predecessor did — TWICE, and with two teams that were quite different from each other. 

I am grateful he was here. 

When a team is down by 15 games, then reporters are GOING to look for reality tv/ soap opera stories. The problem is that all too often Valentine provides him with this. All he needed to do was to explain in one sentence what happened, and that would have been the end of that.

But dealing with the press is part of the game. There is a reason why he has not been a manager for 10 years. 

you are entitled to your opinion john. francona never had any success anywhere he managed before coming to boston. he was giving a very large payroll that one other team had. most teams have half of the red sox payroll. francona would not have done any better than brad mills had done with a team like houston. i don’t know why you think francona was so brilliant. he was a terrible manager of his bullpen. he let the players run the clubhouse. i think there should be a little separation between management and player. he played cribbage with pedroia and i don’t always agree with that. it is hard to discipline your players when you become friends with your players. i was sick when the sox were down 0-3 in the alcs. it was a miracle when they came back and won. i was thrilled and especially against the yankees, but i don’t give all the credit to francona like you do. you have yor opinion and i have mine. there were always softball questions when francona was interviewed on weei. there are too many guys in the boston media. they are very negative and are always looking for a scoop. ordway would never have asked francona if he checked out. i was not a valentine fan before he came to the red sox. i gave him a chance to turn my opinion around. i really think he did that in spite of the injuries and collapse of their two top starters. i would bring him back and let him pick his own coaches instead of having some of francona holdovers. i don’t think the red sox have a world series winning team right now. it might take a few years to rebuild. its too bad they had to give up gonzalez to get rid of beckett and crawford. recently i saw francona at mohegan sun with his honey bunny. he was acting like a real jerk with a brandy snifter in his hand. i would love to see him get hired in houston. i would like to see if he could be a success with a team payroll of  25,000,000- 50,000,000. twins (65 mil). royals (47 mil), indians (50 mil). i don’t know of any manager could win with those teams. that is a big difference from having a 175,000,000 dollar payroll. sometime it is better to be lucky than good. francona was in the right place and very LUCKY.  

It is part of the job description. And he gets paid very well to do it. And those reporters and columnists help promote the team, which generates revenue.
