    The Sox cooperated with the investigation, the punishment will be a "slap on the wrist".

      By doing that they kept themselves from losing draft picks or pool money for international free agents. I'm okay with the slap on the wrist in this case.

        Jon Heyman said this morning on Toucher & Rich (Boston radio show) if he were commissioner he would have the Sox forfeit every game they played against the Yankees this year.

            Didn't Belichik get suspended for Spygate? I say do the same for Ferrell.

            It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

              He didn't get suspended.

                Yep this is correct, he avoided suspension but got a 500K fine.

                        The life of a minor league manager must be rough. "Yay we made the playoffs!" Looks at roster, "damn all our good players are in the Show".
                        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                        I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                          Major League Baseball is now investigating the Yankees for using the YES Network cameras to zoom in on Red Sox coaches during games as well.

                          Things just keep getting interesting.

                            Interesting indeed. Buster Olney says if nothing comes from this, it'll factor into the impression that the Red Sox cooperated with the investigation, as they basically are just throwing pocket sand to distract from themselves. Don't believe their lies Manfred.

                              And the Yankees- Redsox rivalry has awoken from its slumber. 2 young talented teams that are starting to hate each other again from front office mocking each other, to allegations of cheating on both sides, to old and new players calling each other out. If they end up meeting in the playoffs prepare for fireworks like we haven't seen in about a decade

                                The fans will always hate the other team, from that point of view I don't think the rivalry will ever die. But until we get an A-Rod or something that just demands hate or love from both sides, it won't be the same. From the Arroyo incident, the Varitek fight, Dempster failing to throw at him to the cheers of 37000 Bostonians (NEVER FORGET THOSE CHEERS) only for him to come back and hit a homer.

                                A-Rod was the straw that stirred the ****.
