IRON HORSE

Hey, I am making the trip to Comerica to see the Sox play against the Tigers on June 22 and 23. I just wondered if anyone knew which hotel the Sox stay at? Also, where/when is the best time/place to get autographs? I am not a collector who sells autographed stuff on the Internet, I just like to have a baseball or two signed to put on my desk to commemorate the games as I'm going with my dad. Thanks All!

Anyone here have a subscription to this magazine? Just wanted to know if its worth the money or not? Thanks.

Any Internet links? I don't get the MLB network

What about the Yankee Killer, Josh Beckett? Love or hate him, he was our ace and played a monumental part in our '07 World Series championship

In time, Ellsbury and Pedroia will be on this list. As for managers, I know I might get some rebuttal against this, but for best manager I would take Tito any day of the week. What does everyone else think?

Anybody know any links for this show? I would like to watch this. Gratitude

Where would Jason Varitek fit in? He showed great leadership qualities during his tenure with us and would make a great manager some day. Also, how about Tim Wakefield?

I just thought that I would pose this question as to who is the greatest red sox player of all time? I know this might be a very vague and complex, but with our franchise being so rich I decided to ask everyone this question.

Thank you Spitball, the new biography that I was referring to is the Leigh Montville one!

With pitchers and catchers due to report to their respective clubs for spring training, I thought this would be the perfect time to start this thread. Anyone going to see any spring training? Any reports on prospects and any standouts would be appreciated!

I'm about to dive into this book. I bought it the very first release date but I have had strep throat for the past two weeks. Spring training is just around the corner! How exciting!

It sounds like an interesting topic to write about. As a History major myself, I actually would not mind reading it and I could give you pointers and help on grammar and what not. For research check out David Halberstam's, "Teammates" and "Summer of '49". I know there was a Williams biography just recently released. It is a shame that we do not have players like Teddy Ballgame anymore in the age of Free Agency. I hope this helps, if you have any questions please post!

Hello, Red Sox nation! It has been a while since I have posted anything. With management unloading so much money, one should begin to speculate as to who the sox will buy this offseason? Will Ellsbury get his big contract? Will the sox land Josh Hamilton and/or Zach Grienke?

It is a sheer and utter shame to hear this story. In my personal opinion, Francona was thrown under the bus in Boston's hot bed media. If Boston did not collapse in the end of last year than he would still be Manager and these "hot button" issues of Francona taking pain pills, and the whole "chicken and beer" in the club house controversy would not see the light of day. I agree with the previous posts that he did bring a championship back into the franchise after quite the drought. Seeing as this season marks the centennial of the franchise, Francona should make an appearance and receive the right reception that he deserves. I really liked Francona as manager of the Sox, (as you can tell) and he personally was the scapegoat!

Hey Sox fans, just wanted to open this thread up as Heidi Watney is no longer the reporter for NESN. What a sad day, as I, and a lot of memebers of Red Nation have grown a little fond of her. haha. Just wanted to see what other Sox fans had to say......
