It's a shame that we don't treat our veteran warriors with the respect they deserve. They may believe that we have forgotten about them, and the things that they have done for this team in the past. Well I'm not having it.

 

 

Listen and scroll to honor our heroes...

 

Cue it Puff...

EVERY STEP I TAKE.....MATT MANTEI

A true warrior that always knew he wanted to finish his career in Boston. He put everything he had on the table for this team. He was God-like on the mound feasting against right-handed hitting, and soon to be Hall of Famer

EVERY MOOOOOOVVVVVE I MAKE....HIPOLITO PICHARDO

Few could mention the Boston Red Sox and not have images of Pichardo's blazing fastball come to mind. Most remember Pedro Martinez lighting up the league during 2000-2001. It was Pichardo's arm though that was the most valuble in Boston over those two seasons.

 

I'LL MISS YOU

EVERY SINGLE DAAAAAYYYYY....JEREMY GIAMBI

Some people tend to forget that you beat out David Ortiz for DH back in early 2003. You hit a walk off against the Yankees and solidified yourself to Bostonians as a man with honor and respect for the game beyond all imagination.

EVERY TIME I PRAAAAAAAAYYYY...CASEY FOSSUM

We all know now Casey that you don't get the credit that you deserve. You will forever be loved as the true warrior that was the centerpiece of the package to get Curt Schilling. Despite the Red Sox best efforts to get you back in a package that would have been headlined by Hanley Ramirez and Jon Lester the Diamondbacks smartly declined, and traded you to Tampa Bay for Jose Cruz where you continued to dominate the Red Sox bats. To this day remains the worst trade the Red Sox ever completed

I'LL BE MISSING YOOOOUUUUUU... SHEA HILLENBRAND

Shea we know we never should have traded you. Yo had guts and were not afraid to speak your mind. A true conqueror you were, and you shall continue to tear it up in the Independent Leagues.

 

WE MISS AND LOVE ALL OF YOU RED SOX WARRIORS...

I have no idea who castigs is or TGov. But TLev is here. 1

 

Well even if you were, I hope you wouldn't be dumb enough to say you were.

TGov was actually talking about how he thought Gabe Kapler would end up back with the Sox one day and we gave him a lot of s*** for it. However...

And then there's some favorites from a team that drove me into inactivity as a fain.

Scott Cooper was not an awful baseball player. He wasn't the all star prospect he was supposed to be and he had the great misfortune to succeed one of the best third baseman we've ever had. He got on base pretty well and put together a couple good seasons. That said, the guy was not the medicine we needed at third base in the early nineties.

 

When I came back, I came back to the Youk cheer, which was very much like the old COOOOOOOOP cheer. It brought back the memories of this guy and all the things he did for Boston as a player.

 

You might say it affected my opinion of Kevin Youkilis.

How you, as a team which fancied itself a contender, could countenance Carlos Quintana as your starting first baseman, I have no freaking idea. The guy made Casey Kotchman look like Prince Fielder offensively, and he made Prince Fielder look like Casey Kotchman defensively.

Butch Hobson. Great start to his career, you sort of wonder what he could have wound up being if Zimmer hadn't decided to play him through a broken bone in his throwing arm for an entire season.
