because at this blog, it's never really *not* baseball season

so much going on!!

...looks like Sir Schilling will be going out a Red Sock. it only seems fitting after what he did for us in 2004 that he should ride off into the sunset with a Boston B on his cap.

...somehow we still have not re-signed Mike Lowell??? i am baffled as to how this is possible. you're breaking my heart, Epstein!

...YOOOOOOUK has been awarded the AL Gold Glove for his performance at 1B. the man & his face creature deserve some recognition after being overlooked at the All Star Game.

...we are still in possession of JFL. and, thankfully, *not* of any blue-lipped ball-slappers.

...the dismantling of the Evil Empire is releasing new chapters by the hour, it seems. Torre. Mattingly. Slappy McWhippingboy. Pettitte. question marks over Posada & Mariano. never fear, though, Rog-ah would love to come back one more year.

...hmmm... my trusty sources *still* haven't revealed that Mike Lowell has been inked to a shiny new contract...

...The Bedazzler has had his knee surgery & will be a new man come next season. Bionic Bedazzler? works for me!

...the tantalizing possibility of the Sox considering a *six* man starting rotation in 2008?!

never a dull moment.

how about a little flashback to tide us over til pitchers & catchers report? i have some snippets from 2007 that i never got around to posting and i thought maybe they would be fun random blasts to the not-so-distant past during the long months without pine tar & leather:

"3. Twelve stranded base runners? Do these players not realize what Julian Tavarez is capable of? Julian Tavarez doesn't sleep, he waits."
