I had said just about as much a few weeks ago. No surprise here.

[Spudboy]

Duh!

 

He was talking about it months ago.

Thank you for your service and your toughness.

 

The guy has gone through cancer and has played through basically a career ending hip injury.

 

One of the most honorable players to wear the uniform.

 

He didnt have to play out this year....the sox jerked him back and forth......he could have said "f*** this im done" a long time ago. Kudos to you. I think Im going to miss you most of all scarecrow.

When did Keith Law join the site?

[Dojji]

Congrats on a solid career, Mike. And thanks for your career year in 2007.

[BSN07]

Not surprising. Thanks for everything Mike!

Based on how he's played this year, can anyone prove he hasn't retired already? Maybe he's splitting his checks with a look-a-like who's showing up to games for him.

Just released him already....:thumbdown

There be absolutely no point in that at this point in the season. The FO would just look like *******s. It's not a huge deal for him to ride out the last 3 weeks of the season.

You Sir, get a Mulligan.

Classy move by Tito to pull Lowell after a hit so he could both end his career with a hit and get one last standing O

[SlasherB]

Definitely a fantastic player. Oozes class. To think that he was given the media ringer when he came here from TB. Fantastic professional and will be missed.
