Well maybe not. Let’s start at the beginning.
Late last year we had confirmation of MLB’s desire for the Red Sox to open the 2008 baseball season in Japan. At first glance an exciting cool proposition. I have no idea what people were thinking but I know the players gave this a lukewarm reception at best, [...]

In the 20 years since I was first called up to the big leagues I’ve played with exactly 2 players who’s presence in the clubhouse carried onto the field. Darren Daulton in Philadelphia, and Doug Mirabelli here in Boston.
Very few players have that ability, and when they have it you know it. 4am landing in [...]

Congratulations to John McCain in winning the Republican GOP nomination. I can’t imagine a finer person now in position to become our next President. If you are someone that voted for another candidate, and haven’t heard this man in person, I would urge you to do so.
He won’t pander and you probably won’t agree with [...]

I hope you all understood each and every one of us meant it when we said the honor was all ours. People throw the words hero and warrior at professional athletes all the time, and I [...]

The situation warranted addressing the media at some point, yesterday was that day. Given what’s happened over the past three months the discussion was not going to go anyone’s way in the end.
Suffice to say it’s over, and I am rehabbing and doing everything possible to get healthy and pitch again. Were there disagreements? Sure. [...]

Speculation is rampant right now. I see the Sox just released a statement.
At the time we negotiated the 2008 contract I passed all physical exams and testing, as well as the MRI the club required me to take. I knew in my heart of hearts that the extra time I was giving my arm to [...]

On a resounding day of victories. I am proud to know the man and proud to see others believing in him as well. I am not sure what the overall turnout was yesterday but I am hearing it was large, which is fantastic.
Interesting to hear the political ‘experts’ talk about what it all means now, [...]

Regardless of your political affiliation, get out and vote today if you are in one of the states holding their primary. If you want to come here and scream bloody murder about politics or opinions on politics at least bring the credibility of having voted with you.
FYI I cast my vote for one John McCain [...]

So every all star game each player is given one of their home jerseys to autograph for a charity auction for the MLBPA.
Each year you autograph that jersey and afterwards they collect them and auction them off.
The year in question, Sean gets his jersey, and somehow he is out a jersey or two and ends [...]

Here, with his permission, is an email from Holly Youngs father. While I would prefer to cut and paste portions of this email, out of respect to her dad I have posted his email in its entirety.
Dear Curt and Shonda:
My wife Carolyn and daughter Michelle appreciate the kind thoughts from both of you , including [...]
