08:11 AM ET 12.08 | Bobby Valentine chose not to wade into the Boston-New York rivalry. [Valentine] wasted no time establishing exactly how he plans to roll during his first major press conference at the winter meetings. Asked a simple question -- "Can you talk about the rivalry with the Yankees" -- Valentine delivered a grinning quote that made it clear he won't be genuflecting before the 27 World Series pennants hanging in Yankee Stadium. "No. I hate the Yankees," he said. "I don't want to waste this valuable time talking about the Yankees. This is too valuable. I told Joe Girardi I used to love them. But now I hate them." Valentine's response was tongue in cheek as the lifelong Yankees fan laughed halfway through.

Everybody knows that it will be messy when Valentine is ushered out of there someday. Always does with him. But the drama between now and then is what makes for good fun.

Come on now Trooper, it's not the Sox fault that the Orioles franchise is in shambles. Look no further that scymey legal fleabag Peter Angelos for the cause of their problems.

Bobby V certainly changed his tune about the superiority of Japanese baseball.Several years ago he was featured in an SI article and pretty much bitchslapped MLB. He is a tool

He was bsolutely gushing about Dice K and the 20 pitches he could throw. I would love to hear him discuss him now.

Bobby V was a mistake hire BEFORE this...now he is making it worse...

December 8, 2011  01:32 PM ET

He will be all right.

December 8, 2011  01:54 PM ET

the only legacy he left behind as manager of the Rangers was a crappy team and a chain of crappier restaurants.

It's just like in any other public business today. Ownership/management no longer has any loyalty to their employees, so the same is true the other way.

The guy was joking... give him a little slack.

The best thing is ADD Bobby V is outta the broadcast booth @ ESPN. Another good thing is he's the Bo-Sox skipper. LMAO
