    It's been the elephant in the room for three years. Do I care as much as I did? I think about this question constantly. The short answer? No. It can't mean as much. It will never mean as much. Before 2004, rooting for the Red Sox wasn't about just sports. It was about mortality. It was about a ticking clock that only we could hear. It was about exchanges like this:



    "Jimmy's dad died last weekend."
    "That's terrible! How old was he?"
    "Sixty-five."



    ... and how you'd immediately add 1918 plus 65 and realize, "Crap."

    The high from the epic 2004 season wasn't going to last forever.

    Nobody wanted to live a full life, then die, without seeing the Red Sox win a championship. Cubs fans know what I mean. So do Vikings fans, Indians fans, Maple Leafs fans ... only the true sufferers know. This wasn't just about liking sports. That "Jimmy's dad" mortality hung over everything. It was the reason we snuck away from wedding receptions to see whether the adjoining hotel bar had a television. It was the reason we hated the Yankees so much that we actually could taste the poison forming in our mouths. It was the reason we prayed Ted Williams would save us, then Carl Yastrzemski, then Lynn, then Jim Rice, then Clemens, then Mo, then Nomar Garciaparra, then Pedro Martinez, then Manny Ramirez. It was the reason that, any time a bad break happened in Fenway, everything went dead silent, as if someone was bombing with a best man's speech.


    I think this is on the money. There's no motivation now, there's nothing to prove.

    I think you meant.

    Fun Jarrod Saltalamachia fact: He stinks.

    Kidding, that is pretty funny though.

    Even your owner says you need a miracle. Losing Youklis hurts. No incredibly short or incredibly ugly man makes your lineup much easier to navigate.

    Wow. Kicking the tires on Delgado? Things must really be getting desperate.

    I think Lowell has a tiny bit of magic left in him. Things will start meshing when Ellsbury starts getting hot again.
