10, 9, 8....

I was not comfortable with a 10 game lead, I was nervous with a 9 game lead, I'm becoming pessimistic with an 8 game lead. Before you jump all over me, I AM a Red Sox fan. I HAVE been a Red Sox fan since long before 2004, therefore i AM NOT ON THE BANDWAGON and I DO remember what it's like to be disappointed over and over and over again....

There are quite a few things I wanted to talk about today, but time is not on my side. So I'll summarize instead:

Dear Michael Vick,

You are a disgusting excuse for a human being and I hope you rot in hell.

Your #1 Animal Loving Ex-fan,

Dear Freddy Krueger, errr YoYo, errr Julian Tavarez,

Please take your head out of your ass, at least for tonight if the rain Gods decide to let up and this game gets played.

Love,
SoxyLady

Dear Red Sox Management,

It's pouring. Saying that the rain is supposed to taper off and the game will be played is just a pathetic attempt to get fans into the park and pay a million dollars for your beer and pizza before being sent home a sopping wet, broke mess.

I see through your scams,
SoxyLady


Wow...someone is bitter today, eh?

Rocky Mountain Low

As of right now, the Helton deal isn't going to work out. No big deal. The Sox didn't NEED him, he just would have rounded out a KILLER offense (well, if everyone stayed healthy). What really s*cks about the whole thing played out. The media may say there are no hard feelings between the Rockies and the Sox, but common. There was already bad blood because of the Larry Bigbie deal that never happened. And now:

"This is Todd Helton we're talking about," Rockies owner
Charlie Monfort told the Associated Press today. "We're not just
going to give him up for nothing".

To that I say:

Dear Mr. Monfort,

Todd Helton is a great baseball player, but lets face the facts. He's past his prime. He is not a baseball God. In fact we'd be giving up two strong players in both Mike Lowell and Julian Tavarez for your one, Mr. Helton. To insist they are nothing is a slap in the face not only to them, but to the Red Sox as an organization and to RSN.

You say that you need to build up young talent? You're right, you do. As does every other team in MLB. So trading Helton for young prospects benefits us this year, maybe the next year....but you for years in the future. Why would we do that? We don't play for the short term strategy. You stated Mike and Julian can help you in the short term, but you need more. Ummm....right.
You're asking the Sox to do something you publicly stated you wouldn't. I don't get it.

Moreover, Dear Mr. Monfort - there was no need to leak Lowell and Tavarez's name to the media. Now, not only are their egos bruised by your "nothing" comment but the Sox are going to have to smooth over their relationships with these two players. We were trying to make a deal with your struggling organization. Baseball is business to the front office, right? We weren't playing gossip trash-talk with the media.

Please get over yourself, and try not to come in last in the NL West this year.


Sincerely,
Soxy Lady

And as for all of this Schill Thrill talk, here's the way I see it. Curt, I love you dearly, but you won't get a contract before the 2007 season even starts. Let's see you go out there, knock 'em dead a while and then draft something up. If you've still got the goods, we want you back. I love to hear you say you wouldn't go to NY if things don't work out with the Sox next season. Stick to your word, Schill - if you don't your political career in MA is dead before it even started.
