Well what do you know, someone on the Red Sox has a problem with someone on the Yankees. Boston Red Sox ace Josh Beckett is upset with Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long for saying he takes too long in between pitches, throwing the hitter off his rhythm. These comments were brought up by new Sox manager Bobby Valentine this past Saturday at an event. However, the funny thing is last season Valentine called Beckett out during Sunday Night Baseball saying "That’s a half hour added to this game of him standing around and us sitting around watching him do nothing".Josh Beckett needs to go back to eating his chicken, drinking his beer, and playing video games during games instead of being concerned about what Long says.

A member of the star-crossed 1975 and 1986 teams, he also played in some of Boston’s most-memorable games.

For starters, Valentine keeps Bard options open
Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said Daniel Bard, who projected to be the team’s closer after the departure of Jonathan Papelbon to the Philadelphia Phillies, would likely be prepped as a starter during spring training. Valentine said Bard seemed receptive to the idea, but left open the possibility of utilizing him as a closer.
