Now they say Theo was the problem, and granted he may have been all along but who did he report to ?


I guess John Henry can start rebuilding with the Little League World Series players and only give them a one year contract when the time comes ..............
They play baseball

Today is the day that I will entertain the idea of being interested in what the Red Sox are doing. They lopped off a couple of massive tumors today.

That was an awesome move by the sox...lets see if they can do something with the extra cash. I would have loved to see them throw Lackey in for free.

I liked Gonzalez...but to get rid of that much salary is amazing. Lets see what Cherington can do with the money

I used to like the Sox, but I am not liking the way this looks. I am willing to bet they will never replace that salary with different players. All the pink hats still selling out the stadium make it possible for them to cut that pay and not put quality players on the field.

Let's not kid ourselves. That "sell out streak" has been dead for months now and it is beyond a joke that the Sox still claim it exists.

How can they claim a streak still after the Royals came to town?

I was done with that team last summer

get rid of Lackey and things may look even better for the future

Go PATRIOTS!

Heard a great whine on EEI last Friday reagrding Pesky's funeral attendance, was something like:

"Congratulation Red Sox players, now you not only suck as players, but you suck as people too"
