MANNYHOF24

John Lester, right! how could i forget that one! stupid mistake

If all goes as planed 2006 could be a lot like 2004, If schilling returns to form we could have a 1-2 like Pedro and Schilling, I really feel confident that paps will have a huge season next year. Nixon's power numbers went down this year, so in a contract year expect him to have 2003 numbers if he can stay healthy. Delcarmen and Hansen(maybe Wagner or Ryan) if matured could be excellent set-up guys for a healthy and dominant Keith Foulke, at age 30 i really expect Foulke to have a huge season in a contract year, trying to earn his last large payday of his big league career. If Foulke fails again this time their will be a back up plan, either Hansen or Ryan/Wagner. The retooled offense with a few new everyday faces youk, Pedrioa should bring stability at the end of the lineup, and hopefully the sox will add a big bat a first base, possibly Kenerko or Huff. Oh by the way the Sox still have Papi and Manny(whom they will keep) and that will provide enough offense. We will still have a solid wake, Clement wells(if he stays-doughtfull) and Bronson. I cant wait for next year it is going to be exciting as hell with all the young/new faces... Hopefully we can over take the Yankees and make it back to the W.S!!!!!!!

Pedrioa is only expendable only if we sign Nomar and Move Rents to second (Only wish full thinking)

We keep Papelbon Hasen Delcarmen Ramirez Pedrioa, every one eles anyone eles is expendable in my view, unless i am missing some one obvious

That was my dream lineup obviously i will be wrong, that is just what i would want it to be if i had a choice

This is my lineup next year, Damon Rent Ortiz Manny Konerko Varitek Trot Youk Pedroia Schilling Papelbon Washburn Wakefield Clement Arroyo Hansen Myers Bradord Delcarmen Ryan Foulke

If schilling can come back and be better than he was in 2004, which i think he can be, 2004 was not the Arizona Schilling, the redsox could be the favorites to win it all, depending on Keith Foulkes effectiveness and Papelbons transition back to starter

If this deal goes through, i am no longer watching the C's they will be pathetic

Heres my rotation Schilling Burnett Papelbon Wake Washburn Bullpen Myers Bradford Delcarmen Hansen Wagner Foulke This is if Wells retires and Arroyo is traded

Sorry to here, this. I will keep you in my prayers, you can get through this buddy. Just hang in there.

That would be a good deal, i dont see abe alvarez as a part of the future for Boston

I would have a hard time seeing the first sox manager in 86 years to win a series, get fired because they lost in the first round. I know he is not the smartest manager, but he makes gutsy moves and I hope he stays around a couple more years. I also think that it was remarkable that this team one 95 games considering they lost their Ace due to injury, the closer was hurt all year, and they had inconsistant offense the whole last month of the season

What does everyone think their chances are of coming back and returing to 2004 form? I personally think that Schill will be back, but i just dont know about Keith Foulke, i really doubt he will ever be the same

No papelbon should be our number 2 starter next year

YEs lets get rid of manny and make ortiz leave after the 06 season, thats real smart

It has been fun talking with all you guys From the trading deadline on, all the exciting moments, i will check in during the offseason, i need a break from the sox for awhile, what a long season it was! I want to personally thank Sox Fan on the Cape for being so genorous and giving me free sox tickets!! Talk to you all soon the hotstove is right around the corner

Go Celtics Go Big Al!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red Sox baseball will always be different, we are no longer have the curse, and we are no longer defending champs, were just another old baseball team

I blame Theo he did a bad job in the offseason

and the Curse of THE "PEDROLOWE" begins

What a difference a year makes

Well.... this sucks so bad

Yes becuase its still the 3rd inning

Timlin needs a quick inning

I still Believe
