Alex recaps a sloppy weekend of play against the Chicago White Sox. The Red Sox did not play with dignity this weekend, defensively and offensively. Alex says that if that trend continues for this upcoming series against the Rays, then things are going to get really ugly.

Alex also talks about the incredibly fascinating upcoming offseason, and whether the Red Sox can afford another down year in 2011 like they have had in 2010? Are we going to see a rift between Larry Lucchino and Theo Epstein, similar to what we saw in between 2005 and 2006?

The "post of the day" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and in the "Around the League" segment, Alex looks at the AL East race, the AL Cy Young race, and the slipping Padres who have lost 10 straight.

Alex talks about various wrestling notes. The 900th anniversary of RAW was this past Monday. Was it a good show or just a plain odd show? Alex discusses that.

Alex also mentions Luna Vachon's tragic passing, and says that Luna was truly a wrestler, which many women in the business today are not. John Cena's comments comparing the WWE to UFC, the Kane/Undertaker feud, and more is touched upon too.

In the "Finisher" segment, the "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, as Alex goes over the possibility of the championship belts becoming unified.

"The Alex Reimer Show" airs Saturday from 12-1 PM EST on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120. Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Alex talks about how the feeling of the "Red Sox being out of it" is really palpable now, even though we knew it was likely going to end this way.

The first 2 games against Baltimore are recapped, with Alex saying that Marco Scutaro's effort is admired, but he should take more days off with his injuries. Alex also analyzes JD Drew's season and mentions that Drew's disappointing year has really flown under the radar. In addition, Alex gives his take on the Manny Delcarmen trade and the "almost" Mike Lowell trade.

The upcoming series against Manny and the White Sox is previewed, and in the "Around the League" segment, Alex mulls over the AL East standings, and the putrid Pittsburgh Pirates, who were officially eliminated by the postseason this week. Post on the boards at www.thesportsstuff.com/boards!

The track conditions were slick at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway due to excess humidity in the region. The race was still set to go on.

Peter Lenz crashed his bike in a warm-up lap, and was struck by 12 year-old Xavier Zayat. Several hours later, Lenz was announced dead. The Marion Country coroner’s office said he died from blunt force trauma. Life over. Before it really began.

But what a start it was. The 4’11 81 pound Lenz earned an “expert” license from the American Federation of Motorcyclists at age 11. In March of 2009, he became the younger rider ever to win an AFM race. This year, in the U.S. Grand Prix Racers Union series, Lenz had 4 wins and 5 podium finishes.

Chief steward Stewart Aitken-Cade said the incident is the first of its kind in “nine years…that’s a tremendous safety record.” Yeah, one minor killed every nine years is a percentage to celebrate.

Peter Lenz died doing what he loved. But most 13 year-olds love playing baseball in the backyard or attending their first “girl/boy party.”

Should a 13 year-old who weighs 81 pounds soaking wet be allowed to operate a vehicle that can race well north of 100 mph?

Proponents of the youth racing circuit say that motorbike racing can cause fatality, just as football, wrestling, and other sports can. True. But let’s use some common sense. Who stands a better chance? The 13 year-old who gets tackled while wearing pads, or the 13 year-old who gets run over by a motorbike on a slippery track? Take your pick.

Lenz’s father posted on Peter’s facebook that, “Peter passed away early this morning when he was apparently struck by another rider. He passed doing what he loved and had his go fast face on as he pulled onto the track. The world lost one of its brightest lights today. God Bless Peter and the other rider involved. #45 is on another road we can only hope to reach. Miss you kiddo.”

“Kiddo.” That’s what Peter Lenz was, a kid. If rules were different, he could have been a kid for just a little while longer. If Peter’s father said, “no son, you’ll wait a little longer until you race motorcycles professionally,” Peter would still be here today.

Why not wait until you’re 16 to professionally race? At 81 pounds, 13 year-old Peter didn’t weigh enough to ride most roller coasters at Six Flags.

But apparently he weighed enough to race motorcycles at 120 mph on slippery race tracks. A tragedy is a once in a lifetime occurrence. This? It was only a matter of time.

Yeah Brett's back, but Sidney Rice won't be for eight weeks, Percy Harvin collapses on the sidelines as migraines continue to plague this talented youth. As a result, the Vikings sign former Favre co-hourt Javon Walker, and trade Benny Sapp to Miami for Greg Camarillo who can catch with two parts of his body.

The Chiefs fall again in the preseason, this time to the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the loss, the Chiefs did show the most progress up to date, according to coach Todd Haley.

Farzin goes over the game and wants to know how offensive coordinator, Charlie Weis, manages the running game this season with three different players receiving significant playing time and a lot of handoffs in three preseason contests.

In the final segment of the show, Farzin talks about the third highest paid quarterback in the league, Matt Cassel. What should Chiefs fans expect out of the $63 million player?

John Lackey was also a reason why they lost this weekend. He hasn't been able to win games this year. They don't pay him to just "keep the Red Sox competitive." The Red Sox simply don't have the pitching right now to put together a winning streak.

Alex also mentions the upcoming series against the Orioles, the waiver claim of Mike Napoli, and more.

The "post of the day" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and in the "Around the League" segment, Alex talks about the AL East, where both the Yankees and Rays have some holes. He also touches upon Manny going to the White Sox, and Stephen Strasburg's impending Tommy John surgery.
