Did E1 write the article?

He did get offered a minor league contract, so the team wasn't shutting the door on him. Pitchers and catchers must report in 2 days, so Wake must have been considering showing up. Lastly, I don't want to give SBF a stroke, but if we get a couple of injuries during the season, Wake could be called out of retirement.

There goes our best depth option.

Oh, you are married. That explains the crankiness. I feel your pain.

I have a strong sense of noblesse oblige.

The crown is real. That would hurt. The title is imaginary.

I get them with the kids meals. What kind of example would I be setting if I stole them? Future generations of phony, self-anointed internet forum king would be lawless.

Most of the time the attire is Monarch casual-- just an adjustable cardboard crown. The official crown is only worn at formal events like Red Sox games, Monster car shows, and happy hour at the bar.

Sometimes I am the only one here.

... and so ends Doug Mirabelli's comeback bid.

We are really in the realm of saying "if this works out and if that works out and if we stay healthy...and if and if" That type of stuff starts to scare the heck out of me, because something always goes wrong. If we need everything to go right, that's just not realistic.

Let's have a night for him, maybe hand out a bobble head doll and let him throw out a ceremonial first pitch, but thankfully no more starts.

That's ugly.

Halleluiah!

It's a lot easier after winning the two championships, but it was tough growing up through the 70's.

If 1 of the top 3 go down or Bard can't cut it and has to go to the pen, what does the rotation look like?

I was hoping for some analysis. In 2005, the top 4 guys averaged around 200 innings and almost 15 wins, the depth option returning from ankle surgery was Schilling, who was still the ace when he got healthy In 2006, they had 3 pitchers in the rotation that won 200 more games in their careers --Wells, Wakefield and Schilling. Clement was coming off a year with 13 wins and he was on the All Star team. Wells was coming off a 15 win season. There was no reason to believe he would fall of a cliff, or Clement would blow out his arm. s*** happens. You are judging 2006 with 20-20 hindsight. If judged at the moment when Spring Training ended, I don't know if I would come to the same conclusion. Also the the depth option of Lester was better than what we have in 2012.

Who cares what the original point was? We only need to lose 1 starter to have a catastrophe. That's how thin our rotation is.
