10:42 AM ET 08.26 | The Red Sox announced Saturday that they have suspended reliever Alfredo Aceves for three games for conduct detrimental to the team. That suspension began Saturday and will run through Monday afternoon's game with the Royals. Aceves was visibly angry in the clubhouse after Friday night's win, which was closed out by Andrew Bailey. Aceves slammed the door on his way in and out of manager Bobby Valentine's office after the game. Valentine didn't disclose why exactly Aceves was suspended, but he did say "it might have had something to do with" Bailey getting the save opportunity instead of Aceves. Aceves had blown the save the night before, allowing five runs in an inning-plus and throwing 37 pitches. Valentine said there wasn't necessarily an argument between him and Aceves.

Aceves and Valentine are both asses. But Valentine is right on this one.

Bobby Knute Valentine: We lost with you, we can lose just as well without you, always remember that; now get out there and above all try not to embarrass yourself too much. Oh yeah and as God is my witness I will find out who filled my cap with greasy chicken bones and soaked all my underwear in beer.

I hate to support management in any way, but in this case--keep Valentine, get rid of everyone else. And that starts with Pedroia and Ortiz--ship them out.

Mark you calendars: Sunday September 16 is "Pitch an inning for the Sox ??" day, prior to each inning, a fan in the stadium will be randomnly selected to "Pitch an inning for the Sox ??". Stay tuned for future announcements including "Play first base for an inning for the Sox ??" day.

I'm sure somebody else will put in a claim long before the Yankees get a chance.

He's barely good enough to be on the roster.

A quarter-mil salary dump of true stars; a suspended player for three days who apparently didn't even argue much with his boss; guess that team won't be calling any more mid-season team mtgs to complain about anything, will they?

More importantly Bobby is taking control of the team.

He was never cloer material, he is a good middle reliever, when his change is working.

You have no right to complain when you are tied for the American League lead with 7 blown saves.

Conversation in Bobby's office:
Aceves: "Why didn't I get the chance for the save tonight"?
Valentine: "Because I decided to use Bailey"
Aceves: Why not me"?
Valentine: "Because I said so--get out of here, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out"!
