How do you think Adam Stern fits into this mix?

I hope the FO has a Plan B in motion.

But how do you really feel about this?

Please, please John Henry, step in and stop this. Don't let this happen! Maybe you are not competent to be the Principal Owner.

Probably need Youk as trade bait to get a CF or SS.

No SS and no CF, but 2 GMs. This is going in the wrong direction.

I have a framed picture of his Game 7 GS on my office wall. I will hurl tomorrow morning when I look at it.

Why is Sox management running this team like some sort of small market moneyball team? This will be the Rocket revisited without the interim stop in Toronto. All we need is to hear Luchinno say that Damon is in the "Twighlight" of his career.

The Cards are my second favorite team. I'll always be grateful for the way they rolled over in the 2004 WS and we were able to live the dream.

Maybe Loretta splits time between 1B and 2B. Is Petagine available to platoon at 1B?

Hopefully, Manny will show up on time and act professionally. He hasn't liked Boston since he first signed, but he has maintained his professionalism albeit with a few Manny moments. If his situation has become so intolerable that he dooesn't show for spring camp, that could really get ugly, e.g., fines, etc. The Players Union might also end up getting involved. It could be a real circus. Big Papi could be a key factor in keeping Manny's head on straight.

When I saw Fever Pitch, I had to laugh, because at one point or another in my life I had the same pictures that Jimmy Falon had in his room. I still have the book that his uncle bought him on his first trip to Fenway.

Hi all! I have been a diehard Sox fan since '67. The Cardiac Kids got me started, and I have been hooked ever since then, despite the fact that I have lived behind enemy lines my entire life. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and I currently live in Long Island, NY. I have had to tolerate the most obnoxious Yankee fans since grade school, and I have ventured into the lions den for Sox games my entire life. As a kid, I preferred double headers, and I saw some doozies. On the 4th of July 1973, I saw a Sox sweep 2-1 and 1-0. In the first game, Yaz scored the winning run from second base in the 9th on an errant double play relay. It was probably the last good game pitched by Ray Culp. In the night-cap Roger Moret ( a real Yankee-killer) pitched the shutout. In 1975 at Shea Stadium, I saw a 1-0, 6-0 double header sweep. Game 1 was saved by a diving rolling catch by Fred Lynn with the bases loaded in the 8th inning. Again, Roger Moret pitched the shutout in the night-cap. I saw Pedro outduel the Rocket on a Sunday evening in May (99 or 2000?). I make the pilgrimage to Fort Myers each Spring, and I make at least two trips for weekend series at Fenway. I only miss games for funerals and sometimes for Weddings.
