Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
Mercifully it is almost over. Let me be the first to say goodbye to Bobby V. It was not all his fault, but I think it is inevitable. I hope Ben Charington has a good offseason (a good start would be...

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
Sigh, feels like deja vu, the Olde Town Team has reverted to their pre 2004 persona. Well, if you've been a fan as long as I have, you are accustomed to it.

Re: Red Sox 2012
Elsbury and Crawford are back and looking good. Dare I say reason for optimisim? In that vein, here's hoping Big Papi is not hurt too bad and does not need to go on the DL.

Trade Youk and Beckett for a decent starting pitcher- ANY starting pitcher. Those two are a cancer in the clubhouse. Let Middlebrook and Nava and...

Re: Red Sox 2012
Just when you think it can't get any worse they blow a nine run lead!
How about we just fire the bull pen and bring up the entire Pawtucket pitching staff. They can't do any worse.
