"I'm so happy. I'm happy for the fans in Boston, I'm happy for Johnny Pesky, for Bill Buckner, for (Bob) Stanley and (Calvin) Schiraldi and all the great Red Sox players who can now be remembered for the great players that they were."-2004 Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling

"A hundred years from now, how will we make people understand what just happened here? How will we ever make them understand what happened The Year The Red Sox Finally Won The World Series? There was no way they could ever do this the good old normal way. Never. They're the Red Sox."-Jayson Stark, ESPN.com

"We wanted to do it so bad for the city of Boston. To win a World Series with this on our chests -- it hasn't been done since 1918. So rip up those '1918' posters right now." -2004 Red Sox first baseman Kevin Millar

"I dreamt about this day. I said my prayers every night to the big guy: 'Bring us a World Series."-Johnny Pesky, former Red Sox infielder after WS victory

I think if you're Red Sox, well, it's something you're born with, and affection you have."

 - Johnny Pesky

Spring Training 2004

Nomar to start the season cuddling with Mia, out 3 Plus Weeks with bruised heel Nomar, out for awhile with bad foot

SIGN LOWE, SIGN VARITEK, SIGN NOMAR, LET PEDRO RUN?

Where are the Red Sox Priority's for the Big Four? Lowe is an injury free warrior! Varitek since elbow surgery has been solid, posting career stats. last year! Nomar since his wrist issue has been dependable, his heel shouldn't be a major  long term setback. Pedro, small in stature, cuff issue, isn't throwing hard in S.T., is 32 years old and will demand a huge contract.  Do we let him run,  invest in the other 3, and put our $$ toward the future?

Manny Fights to Make Squad

I'm trying to make this team, there's only one spot left,'' Ramirez said.

``New manager, I've got to surprise him, that's the way I think. I've got to surprise him, man, that's the way I think. Every year's a new year, whatever you do next year, it's all over. This is the year, man.''

Now that the smoke has cleared from the A'rod Trade "The Evil Empire Alert" has been lowered to Elevated (keep aware of suspected activity but no know threat is imminent)

"Anyone thinking that A-Rod has shifted the balance of power in the American League back to the Yankees is in for a surprise"- Red Sox Pitcher Scott Williamson - Full Article

Q: Curt Schilling gave up his first career MLB homerun to?

A: Ellis Burks

Jason Varitek Is the Backbone to the Red Sox Pitching Staff and my personal favorite player.

Jason Varitek holds the Red Sox pitching staff together like superglue did when Peter Brady broke his parents vase in  "The Brady Bunch" episode #43.  He is a workhorse & a mentor for even the senior pitching staff on the Red Sox.

"I won't second-guess him again," Williamson said. "With Ramon Hernandez, he wanted a slider and I wanted a split. I shook him off and threw the split and hung it and he hit it out of the park."
Williamson was new to the American League, having come over from the Reds just three weeks earlier. He quickly learned that it's all but impossible to know more about opposing hitters than Varitek does. full article by Ian browne
 

Bostonians Plead to the Church to Pardon them for eating Fenway Franks on Opening day (Good Friday), Church declines. - article  Synagogues are filled with laughter, as the hot dogs are surely kosher!

SOME PRE-SEASON PREDICTIONS:

• Pedro will be a Yankee in 05' -see BII article "Pedro In Pinstripes"

• Nomar will play on the West Coast in 05' (Remember he is whipped now so whatever the wife says goes) or 2nd base for the Yankees- have to throw that in as it is a possibility

• IMAGINE -AROD, JETER, GARCIAPPARA INFIELD IN NY? ...(I will take this site down and denounce my faith in humanity)

• Sox will retain the services of Mueller, Varitek, Lowe, Millar

• Ortiz will want to test the market in order to get playing time at 1st then will sign with the Red Sox when he realizes his Mo Vaugnesque frame is more needed as a DH

• Red Sox will win the wild card behind NY, beat Oakland in four games and beat the Yankees in a 7 game blood bath. (I can't argue that the Yankees may be a better regular season team thus I predict they will win the division, but a 7 game series with healthy Red Sox pitchers evens the matchup in the playoffs)

• Another ridiculously queer slogan will emerge, Instead of "Cowboy Up" expect to see something along the lines of "Pony Down" or "Giddy up Horsey".

  ---

A'rod Trade certainly gives Nomar a little bargaining leverage!  Certainly can't afford to lose him now.  What do you want Nomar?  110 over 7 years? 120? 130?

2003

BOONE HEADS!  

First a homerun over the left field wall to win the ALCS.....booneified..

Then an season long injury playing basketball that nullifies his contract.....boonebezzled

Laughing over the injury to Boone and the lack of depth at third base on the open market we figured we just got that edge that we needed to truly be a better team on paper this year. How does the "Evil Empire" react????

They go to the best player in baseball and convince him to play third base.....boonbino

 "I would like to sign with another team and help dethrone the Yankees -- they've won too much already," Rodriguez said two days before accepting a trade to NY.
