Deprived Boston sports fan

-Theo Epstein resigned from his GM post in the Red Sox today. Wow, this is huge. All I can say is, before he became the GM, the Bosox didn't have the swagger it has against the Yankees now. On top of that, he was the one guy who had the cajones to trade away Nomar, reject the A-Rod deal when it became too expensive, bring in Schilling by going to his place for dinner, and assemble the team that ended the World Series drought. Is he perfect? Heck, no! He brought in Renteria, broke up the championship team by letting go of Pedro, Derek Lowe, Orlando Cabrera, and last season's hero Dave Roberts. Was Epstein getting too confident in his own abilities as GM? Maybe. But it still can't be denied, Boston's losing one of the key guys that made the Sox relevant again.

-Manny looking for a trade, again...Man, it never ends with Ramirez does it? I know that everyone in Boston wants Manny to stay because of his bat, but is it really worth it to put up with this never-ending BS? Nevertheless, until the Sox can find a trade scenario that gives them back equal value for Ramirez (his contract pretty much scares the bejezus of anyone except for maybe Steinbrenner), he's staying put.

-Tedy Bruschi- Oh, how I wish I could have been in Boston and watch his return game with the guys. Comparison to Willis Reed? Reed's knee was messed up completely, definitely a huge inspiration for everyone. But, it was in fact, just a knee. Try coming back from stroke and heart operation to tackle guys head-first? Yeesh, I think just recovering from minor stroke and living a normal life is miraculous enough, let alone playing football again! If the Pats are going to win the super bowl, Bruschi is the main reason why, no questions asked!
