They are fun to watch too. Makes up for slogging through those Claude seasons.
Someday I hope to see the third generation of Donato's line up for the B's.

Yesterday was actually the most "stressful" situation Smith has entered a game in his career. The leverage index when entering:
0.69 Barnes
0.57 Kelly
4.58 Smith
Low pressure: 0.00-0.85
Medium: 0.85-2.00
High: 2.00+
I blame the lack of cheap baseball cards. Bring back the $.50 wax pack!
Also, LAX should be banned.
Honestly, Bud Selig killed a lot of my childhood with interleague play, the 2002 All Star Game, being oblivious towards steriods and the subsequent 180 degree turn towards over punishment later on. (And that guy's in the HOF!)

Red Sox aren’t sure if a lag in ticket sales, down ~6 percent, is a pace issue or an overall interest issue. “It was a slow offseason. Patriots, Celtics, Bruins -- there’s a lot of factors.”
1. Tickets/parking/food are too expensive.
2. The old people that actually still like baseball are dying off.

Dombrowski people are mistaken saying there window to win, there is a window to win with the current group, and that is the same for every team. Thinks the Sox foundation is good.
