Comment of the year:
Reynell’s commentary on ‘Lessons Learned From the ’07 MLB Post-Season’:

Satisfaction will be the death of desire for Red Sox Nation. They will sign A-Rod this summer for $300+ million, win 10 more championships in the next 25 years, and build a $3 billion stadium. All that will be left standing on Yawkey Way will be an obscure part of what was once Fenway Park with a sign that reads: “Inside this wall existed a fraternity built from 86 years of torment. The existence of this brotherhood transcended championships and pennants. But inside these same walls integrity, loyalty, and human compassion prevailed.” And several blocks away in a retractable dome, probably named “Sam Adams Stadium,” a fan will finally reach the front of the concession stand in the 6th inning and order a garden salad with oil and vinegar and a grande orange mocha frappaccino. He’ll return to his seat in the box and turn on his personal massage setting and ask the gentleman seated next to him in a 1986 replica Bill Buckner jersey, “So how many outs until they switch sides?”

And our National Champions: The Men of Troy – U.S.C.

    Congrats to Reynell… Just one clarification on the anticipated fickleness of Boston faithful – we don’t drink orange mocha frappachino. It is a Pumpkin spiced latte from Dunkin’ Donuts..

    Cheers to everyone voting on the awards. Great turnout and deserving winners in every category.

    And many cheers to Casey for providing another year of a quality and entertaining clipboard.

    I would like to thank my beloved Cleveland Indians for tormenting me since childhood. Only through their blown leads, loss to an expansion team in the World Series, and inability to sign and KEEP veteran talent would I be able to manifest such utter distaste towards a likeable franchise like the Red Sox. After all, when Hollywood decided to make a movie in 1989 about a lowly MLB franchise, the choice was obvious. Here’s to watching Grady Sizemore steal home runs and win championships in Beantown or pinstripes in the near future!

    GO TRIBE!
