So charitable Wednesday night

BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell would like to keep the World Series champions together for another run at a title. And yet he knows thats unlikely to happen. "That was felt when we got off the duck boats, knowing this was one last chance to celebrate with a million people in the city," Farrell said Monday, two days after the teams victory parade and hours before the deadline to make qualifying offers to four free agents who were key to the teams title. "Hopefully well be able to retain all of them. The reality is that might not work out." One year after a midseason and off-season overhaul that turned a last-place team into World Series champs, the Red Sox began building for 2014 on Monday by making $14.1 million qualifying offers to free agents Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Napoli and Stephen Drew. General manager Ben Cherington said the team decided not to make an offer to Jarrod Saltalamacchia, though he would like to re-sign the catcher. "Theres interest in every one of them," Cherington said. "I also think its unlikely that every one of them will be back. ... Were going to keep the conversation going with all of them, and also with alternatives, and see where the market shapes up. In a vacuum wed like to have all of them back." The Red Sox went from worst to first a year after dumping three of their biggest contracts -- Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford -- on the Los Angeles Dodgers at a savings of about $261.7 million. Instead of making a big splash in free agency last off-season, they signed mid-market players like Napoli, Drew, Shane Victorino and Koji Uehara. Cherington said the lessons learned from their successes and failures wont be forgotten. "I think we have to go into this off-season with the same general mindset: to build a roster as deep as we can," he said. "The general philosophy would lead us toward a lot of the same things we were looking for last year." The oft-injured Ellsbury is expected to seek a long-term deal averaging $20 million or more. A year after missing more than half the season, he played in 134 games and batted .298 with nine homers, stealing 52 bases in 56 tries. "Jacobys a terrific player, as everyone knows. Of course we know were a better team when hes on the field than when hes not," Cherington said, adding that if they cannot sign him they would consider moving Victorino, who won a Gold Glove in left field, to centre field and looking for a corner outfielder. "That would be one possibility," Cherington said. "We recognize how good he was in right field, and how valuable his defence was in right field. Hes capable of doing it." Napoli and Drew might accept the qualifying offer or use it as the basis for negotiations on a multiyear contract. Saltalamacchia, who made $4.5 million this year, could still re-sign with the team at a lower salary. The Red Sox declined to make qualifying offers to infielder John McDonald and reliever Joel Hanrahan, who were not on the World Series roster. Also Monday, the team said outfielder Quintin Berry and infielder Brandon Snyder were sent outright to Triple-A Pawtucket and became free agents. Right-handers Andrew Bailey and Alex Wilson, outfielder Ryan Kalish and left-hander Andrew Miller were reinstated from the 60-day disabled list. "The game doesnt stop," Farrell said. "The baseball calendar doesnt stop just because we played to nearly Halloween." Complicating Napolis negotiations is a hip condition that prompted the team to back out of a $39 million, three-year deal that had been tentatively agreed to and instead sign him to a one-year contract for a guaranteed $5 million with performance bonuses -- which he eventually earned -- that brought him back to $13 million. "Mike Napoli played a lot this year and was a huge part of our team," Cherington said. "Were making a qualifying offer to him, so we obviously have interest in him returning on a one-year deal for $14.1 million. Hell have an opportunity to consider that." On other topics Monday: -- Koji Uehara, who inherited the closer job and was selected the AL championship series MVP, is the leading contender for the job in 2014. The Japanese right-hander, who will turn 39 in the first week of the season, is coming off a season in which he set career-highs with 73 appearances and 74 1-3 innings. "I think were completely comfortable starting next year with Koji as our closer," Farrell said. "He didnt leave here with any physical ailments. We went into this spring with the same thought, that we need to be careful with his age and his workload. And he exceeded everything." --Cherington is content heading into spring training with six candidates for the starting rotation: Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, John Lackey, Jake Peavy, Felix Doubront and Ryan Dempster. "We could certainly envision a scenario where every one thats currently under contract is in Fort Myers. And in fact, at this point, thats what I would expect," Cherington said. "Well see what the off-season brings." --Second baseman Dustin Pedroia has not yet had surgery on a torn ligament in his left thumb. "As far as I know, theres been no date or site set for the surgery," Cherington said. "But it certainly looks like its headed in that direction." --Cherington said no other teams have asked for permission to interview Red Sox coaches for other jobs. Bench coach Torey Lovullo is reportedly a candidate for the managerial job with the Chicago Cubs, who are run by former Red Sox GM Theo Epstein. kids lamp Marine-Inspired Table Lamps Resemble Fireflies Caught in a Jar Marine-Inspired Table Lamps Resemble Fireflies Caught in a Jar The Boya table lamp by Outofstock Design features a solid wood based made of either reclaimed oak or reclaimed maple, and a sheer lampshade of grey-tinted blown glass.

If you are after drama then you have to consider how they look when lit. Another way to create a statement is to use the same fixture many times. A long corridor punctuated with a repeating shadow-form can look dramatic. wooden lamps diy New Buenos Aires Luxury Ceiling Lamp Iris Design Studio is excited to announce the launch of the new design Buenos Aires Ceiling Lamp, a great interior lighting solution.

Godspeed,With this midweek occupied by the final international date on the 2012 FIFA calendar much activity has happened off the pitch on the business side for the Barclays Premier League these past seven days. Kicking it all off and intriguingly so on a day that traditionally is reserved for issuing negative news this time last week Chelsea were announcing for the first time under Roman Abramovich a profit for the club. This coming according to Bloomberg after seven straight seasons where Chelsea stacked up debts that averaged out at over £75m ($120m) per season. With the announced profit coming in a shade over $2 million Abramovich will have to wait until some point in time well after John Terry and Frank Lampard finally retire to claw back the $1 billion he has invested too date in upgrading the player pool since taking ownership in summer 2003. Cynics suggest Chelseas deal with Gazprom, the Russian energy behemoth is merely a ploy to circumvent the Financial Fair Play conditions as set out by UEFA that were partially introduced this year ahead of their full implementation in 2014. Some smoke screen. That particular three-year deal will only show up on the Chelsea ledger in their financial earnings statement that will be announced this time next year. Then consider Chelsea as a privately held company has no legal obligation what so ever to make its financial statements public. They do so as a matter of transparency and club policy. One such club that doesnt have the comfort of financial privacy is current table toppers Manchester United. They gave that up completely when in late summer approximately 10 per cent of the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Seems the most winningest club in domestic English history is no Wall Street darling though. Not only have shares taken an Ashley Young like dive since debuting ahead of the new season on August 9th when on Tuesday ticker symbol MUFC announced a significant 1st quarter profit investors dumped the stock and it ended the day down. Three months on from Manchester Uniteds Wall Street debut and even on the back of the announcement that the man who broke the Bank of England in 1992 George Soros had picked up a tranche of shares they still trade lower than their offer price. Meanwhile it seems the blue half of Manchester has got the January transfer spending off to the early start with speculation coming midweek that they will be tabling an astronomical offer to Liverpool for Luis Suarez. The opening salvo $65 million. The club was quick to deny reports. Chelsea taking a different track today as their manager was full of gushing admiration for the current pound for pound heavyweight center forward champion of the world, Radamel Falcao who for now is the property of supposedly the poorer half of Madrid. The European champions have nosed ahead in the bidding war for the Columbian and all it seems is when, not if he joins for a fee that is sure to break the clubs and UK transfer record of £50m. Come in El Nino your time is well and truly up. Fueling all this irrational exuberance in the Manchester-London transfer investment market is the global broadcast pie that some rational estimates tagged early in the week is set breach a quite staggering £5 billion [$8b] when all the schekles are added up for the next three-year cycle. Guaranteeing, for each of the 20 clubs, in excess of $100 million per season for TV appearances alone. Its the land of make believe, fantasy football indeed. Not even unlucky in love Justin Bieber gets that amount. Even if he was partnered by his South Korean strike partner Psy. For what was a banking free week for Arsenal, club CEO and Formmer MLS deputy commissioner Ivan Gazidis felt compelled to get in on the weeks financial frenzy by telling the BBC yesterday of his belief that within three years the red half of North London will be in place to compete with anyone in world football when it comes to transfer fees and salaries.dddddddddddd Not sure too many of the 60,000 plus in attendance at the Emirates tomorrow lunch time for the first running this season of the always classic North London Derby will be as forward thinking as they chew things over on the terraces whilst munching down their £10 burgers. Three years Ivan? Its three points they want Arsene. By the way did I mention Arsenal levy a premium of 25 per cent on the price of a beer at halftime. Thats how much the club rise the price of a pint in comparison to what one costs before kick off. How very creative. A reverse happy hour if you like. As discussion of fiscal cliffs south of the border gain momentum owners and CEOs representing the most indebted league in all of world sport met in central London yesterday and top of the agenda was Fiscal Responsibility. In an initiative that has the backing of the big clubs as ways to protect their globally aspiring brands the losers in this are the lesser lights, those that provide us with our weekly dose of romance. Your West Broms are vehemently opposed – as are the purveyors of Tony Pulis baseball cap. Ending the week in fine fashion earlier today a lone Ranger in a feeble attempt to drum up investor interest banged on about his clubs ambition to one day join the worlds most popular football league. The voice wasnt from a Championship promotion contender but the CEO of Rangers, Charles Green who dreams of a day UEFA tear down the rigid football borders that divide their 50 plus member states. Long has it been mooted at some point in the future the two giants of Scottish football would one day compete in the top tier of English football. Dream on it seems. In March this year when the subject last surfaced Barclays Premier League chief Richard Scudamore knocked it deftly into touch. "Our rules are simple. It says were a league formed for clubs that play in England and Wales. I dont see that ever changing." Scudamore cleverly side stepping the word never. This for a league watched it seems by ever increasing numbers globally and influenced by an ownership group from an ever increasing overseas base. Stranger things have happened in sport. Just ask Blue Jay fans. BOOTS OF ZLATAN After undoubtedly stealing the midweek spotlight who out there doesnt wish they could play football as well as Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Memo to English media, the Swede announced his maverick talent way back at EURO 2004). Well as they do say a good workman wouldnt ever blame his tools how then would you like to own the tools used by Zlatan in his single handed demolition of England? Well you could thanks to his Swedish teammate and West Brom player, Jonas Olsson. Yesterday on twitter Olsson (J_OlssonViasat) announced that for all those who donate £5 ($8) to his familys charity imitative they will automatically enter a lottery with chance to win the very boots Ibrahimovic wore in Stockholm Wednesday night. Seems the novel idea is paying off 12-hours later Olsson took to Twitter to announce £3,000 had already been donated. For good measure Ibrahimovic has signed the boots. So charitable Wednesday night, wonder if Joe Hart has donated?
