I think you have to forget about Ellsbury. John Henry even came out earlier this year and said he couldn't see them re-signing him. If that isn't a bad sign I don't know what is.
Another stunning revelation from SoxSport.
Though it doesn't touch your gem from a few days ago: "Dempster's WHIP is almost 1.5. That's a sign he's getting hit and walking guys."
Are you even a real person?
Personally I think Sox fans need to ease back a little on the 'We are the champions' stuff I've been reading the last few days. Playoffs are still a crapshoot.
