Baseball Owners And Their Emoticons

Leitch — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 09:15:35 EST

In yet another example of how Red Sox fans are so frighteningly devoted that they can get the people who run their team to do anything, Red Sox owner John Henry showed up on Sons Of Sam Horn yesterday to respond to various fans' questions. Say what you will about the coldness of Red Sox management, but they are popping up in online fan forums. We can't imagine, say, George Steinbrenner pulling that.

The answers are even different than a typical press conference, with interesting responses to interesting questions. And the best part: He even uses an emoticon! ("I shortened your 12 questions, JP, into 2. :D ") This is outstanding. We support baseball owners users emoticons at all possible moments. Mark Cuban could be pumped up three times the normal size, screaming all the time. Daniel Snyder could be a miniature head with tweedy glasses. And Al Davis? The Al Davis emoticon has shades, a Frankie Avalon pompadour and brings in all the stray emoticons that have crashed other people's computers. It could be fun, you know? Maybe it's too early in the morning.

More Fallout From Derek Lowe's Banging

More fun with Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe, his soon-to-be-ex-wife and Fox Sports "broadcaster" Carolyn Hughes: The Boston Herald reported this weekend that the Red Sox might have actually used Lowe's alleged infidelities as an excuse not to resign him last year. According to the paper, Lowe showed up at a charity event last year with a woman who wasn't his wife — that's a picture of his wife with him above, by the way — and Boston owner John Henry was "angered." Henry denied the story. Meanwhile, journalists are still all agog over Hughes' behavior. Though it does seem like about the only way to get players to trust the media again.
