Two different things. He thinks Boston is racist. He likes Del Taco and there are none here.
Saying he likes Del Taco is racist? I f***ing love Del Taco...
I don't care if they're a last place team as long as they are finally developing real talent and building their organization. Like I've said before, build a team that can compete for a WS in 2015. Short term fixes are part of the reason they are in this mess.

I'd rather have Salty at 1b than Gomez. His CERA sucks. If he can improve his hitting by moving to 1b, he may be servicable somewhere. Long term, he's not an answer for the Sox, obviously.
They signed Papi for PR first and foremost. I don't think it was entirely a baseball decision. This ownership group cares more about NESN ratings than the product on the field.
