This is a direct appeal to Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein, and to anyone else who runs the Red Sox.
Please end the insanity now.
Get rid of Wily Mo Pena. Now.
We simply can’t take this any more. Please get rid of him. I took an informal poll of Sox fans at Professor Thom’s last night, […]

I keep waiting. I keep waiting for Manny Ramirez to go on one of those superhuman rolls he’s been known for. Back in April when Manny was hitting below .200, you had to figure it was the weather, or just a slow start to the year, and that by the midway point of the season, […]
