A re you talking about the 2006 team that was 3 games better than the 2007 team at the start of today? Yeah, he would have helped make the difference, because last years team let the Yankees stay in the race while they were injured. The Red Sox did not extend their lead when they had the opportunity before the injuries occurred. Also, Theo let the Yankees swoop up Abreu and Lidle. If we had gotten them, the Yankees don't sweep 5 against us. Abreu played a pretty big role in that Series. Theo held himself accountable for the disgraceful results last season and he has spent like a drunken sailor to turn things around this year, so it doesn't matter to me if you hold him accountable. The facts and his own admission speak for themselves.
