Sox/Yankees games usually are long but 15 Innings is a little crazy especially when it's still 0-0 going to into the 15th!
Can we clone Beckett & maybe we should bring back Schilling. Can['t we pay someone to take Dice K off our hands?
]]>And people please LOSE the pink hats! Pink is my favorite color but it's the Boston RED Sox! Even when I was four years old I wouldn't wear pink Red Sox gear even though everything else I owned was pink. Do you have any idea how silly you look? When I see fans wearing pink hats or t-shirts with little white letters- I can't even tell who you're rooting for. Show your team pride & wear TEAM COLORS! What do you think the players think when they look at in the stands and see a sea of pink? This whole pink hat/shirt thing is so embarrassing!

I'm psyched Wakefield is pitching! Gotta love those knuckleballs!
Good news Dice K is going to miss at least one start! Maybe now we can stay on top in the AL East & ahead of the Yankees!

And I'm sick of people saying it's only June & these games don't matter like the one in October. Guess what a couple of losses in June can be enough to keep us out of the playoffs come October.
]]>I'm so sad to hear Jerry Remy had cancer and has been sick. I hope he gets well. I met him last year at a Kid Nation Captain board meeting & he was awesome. When i can't go to Fenway for a game I always watch Remy on NESN.
I'm still really angry at Joba Chamberlain for throwing at the heads of our players. I think he does it on purpose. This has been going on since 2007. First Youk & now Bay. I don't understand why he is allowed to get away with all that stuff. I hope he gets suspended before someone really gets hurt. I don't want to see anyone get beaned like Tony C. did.
Now Manny doing steroids. Geesh. I almost got sick when I heard this. I don't know why anyone drinks alcohol or does drugs. Last week I wrote an essay for iwontcheat.com about what I would say to my favorite baseball player if he was caught cheating or using steroids.
So now this is what I would say to Manny.
When Mannny refused to play last year & we lost games because of his attitude I forgave him. I even cried the 1st time I saw him in a Dodgers uniform even though I thought he was a traitor for not playing his best when he was a Red Sox. . He's supposed to be an example to kids everywhere and now I think he's a bigger loser than I did after he threw a game for the Yankees last season. Now everybody is going to criticize the Red Sox and think our team are cheaters because of Manny. I even heard someone say today we didn't deserve to win the WS in 2004 because Manny was probably on drugs then. He hurt kids, all baseball fans, all baseball players, his teammates on the Dodgers & the Red Sox because of what he did. He is a cheater. I would rather see a player strike out & play fair than get a home run by using steroids. Manny- you need to grow up, respect yourself, play fair & stop being a jerk!.

In Nov. I got a letter from YAZ on a HOF card with his autograph thanksing me for the get well card I made and sent to him in the hospital. Isn't that cool? I can't believe he wrote to me.
A couple of months ago I opened a fb account & that's pretty cool. Some of the Red Sox trivia questions I submitted were published.
Anyway... I wrote to Tito over the winter but he didn't write back so I hope he reads this and if anyone knows address for Red Sox scouts please forard this to them for me. Do whatever you have to do to sign Tek & PLEASE while you're at it get Alex Trezza. Tek is great but he's getting older & Trezza is ready to step up. GIVE HIM A SHOT! He's got the agility, ability to lead,great batting average & is a team player. Last year he set CanAm League records If you don't know Trezza check out his stats. Trezza had a very productive season for Worcester last year at the plate and as catcher. He ripped a three-run home run in his first at-bat in a Tornadoes uniform, was one of four Worcester hitters with at least 10 Home Runs and 50 RBIs Trezza also homered in both ends of a doubleheader vs. New Jersey on 6/24 and finished up the season strong by knocking in 28 runs in his final 32 games. Trezza threw out 32.2% of attempted basestealers, including 20 of the last 43 men (46.5%) that tried to swipe a base against him. A team leader and a gamer, Trezza was the only Tornadoes player to appear in all 94 games in 2008. That set a new Worcester record for games played in a season and tied a Can-Am League record as well. THE RED SOX NEED TREZZA!
