A great accomplishment for a wicked classy guy.

I'm glad it happened. I love this guy. One of my idols. If only he could of gotten the all time Red Sox win record
Congratulations to Tim Wakefield. I'm glad he finally got it and I hope the team honors him properly, he deserves it for all the years he's given us.
Way to go Timmy!!
I wish I could have been there. I'd been trying to get home-Wakefield starts for a while, but I only caught one, and it happened to be won in a walkoff. Either way, great job Timmy, hopefully you can get back on track to those high 4 ERA and 6IP starts.
Wake--it looks like you gained about 20 lbs this year. I think you hung around a year or two too long, but who wouldn't for the money you guys get. Good luck in the future--settle back, watch MLB.com and relax.
You know, I think it noteworthy that few people here seem to understand what Wakefield has meant to this team over the years. I don't mean to be sentimental about his career, nor do I want to be seen as critical of anyone on this board. Just think about it though. He is, essentially, a .500 pitcher that has won two hundred games. He's not Tom Seaver or Sandy Kaufax, but he has had a very serviceable and lengthy career. He's throws junk. He's a knuckleballer. They tend to either totally baffle hitters or just get fucked shelled.
He has always been a great team mate and a very good citizen in his communities. Not HOF material, but not someone that will be forgotten either.
I will step down from my soapbox now. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.
Very well stated, Spudboy. My sentiments, exactly.
