Red Sox still bickering

09:07 AM ET 09.02 | What the 2012 Red Sox have become was perfectly illustrated in the fourth inning on Saturday night when Jonny Gomes of the Oakland Athletics hit a shallow foul popup along the first base line. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia had a play, but suddenly pitcher Alfredo Aceves barged in to try and make the catch and dropped the ball. After the inning, second baseman Dustin Pedroia confronted Aceves in the dugout and their conversation became heated. Manager Bobby Valentine and third base coach Jerry Royster had to calm the situation down. When Valentine tried to speak with Aceves, the pitcher waved him off. The error did not cost the Red Sox a run in a game they lost, 7-1. But it demonstrated just how sloppy and divided the team has become as this lost season winds down.

Aceves should be suspended without pay for the remainder of the year. Then shipped out over the winter.

I can now see why they did. What a dooosh this guy has turned out to be. I'm glad to see Pedroia finally show some leadership and stand up to this clown. I wish more payers had done the same.

I'm a Die-Hard Yankee fan but I admire the heck out of Pedroia..........For his attitude as well as his style of play.......He would have been a perfect fit in the early baseball years.

It is sad. The team (and a fairly significant part of its fanbase) just got too full of themselves.

I bet it does. What would bring a smile to my face would be seeing the Yankees continue to choke away that big lead and repeat what Boston did last year.
And with Arod set to return it could happen.

A little bit of a humility check every once and a while is a healthy thing. Maybe the pink hats who jumped on board in 2004 will finally go away and the real fans will get their team back.

Like Boston, when you have a 180M plus payroll, excuses are hard come by.

Time to just call up every guy you can from the system and play them. Get something out of the year.

Was kinda hoping to see Aceves reach double figures in blown saves this season. That will be difficult since he won't be closing many games anymore and the Sox aren't producing many leads to protect.
