I did not see Remy which is odd. The Duck boat that had the announcers / broadcasters stopped in front of where I was standing for awhile and I didn't see Remdog on the boat.

I keep thinking you live right outside of Boston! D’oh! But you are in CT - right?

I forgot that Matt Clement will get a ring, too.

My hubby just sent that photo to me. Awesome!

If Schilling was smart he would retire from the game. He’s got 3 WS rings, a playoff resume to kill for and a huge amount of gratitude for the fans. To go somewhere else for one more shot at glory is nothing more than ego.
Heed the warnings of Roger...

Matt is actually one of the nicer people in the game according to many sources. He simply wasn’t cut out to pitch in Boston and the ruined shoulder was a very convenient outcome for the team. I think they should try to have him come back next year since you can never ever have enough pitching. There are a lot worse for 5th starters out there and he can keep the bench warm until Masterson is ready.

Yup, What’s he getting like over 10 Mill a year?

Great photos!!!! I'm so jealous!
I'm already looking forward to next season and will snatch up tickets when the Sox come out to Oakland. I hope to get out to Fenway again.

Thanks! Feel free to click and ‘ save picture ‘. I actually was getting pretty frustrated as I processed them through Photoshop - I thought my photos stunk. Why the heck the camera would not focus properly is beyond me. I had hoped for some very sharp photos.
To: GraniteStateConservative
Ah, my new screen saver picture! Thanks GSC.
Now, if we can keep “Mumbles” Menino away from the WS trophy...

He got about $26 mil over three years. The contract was a bit back loaded.

"If Schilling was smart he would retire from the game. Hes got 3 WS rings, a playoff resume to kill for and a huge amount of gratitude for the fans. To go somewhere else for one more shot at glory is nothing more than ego." From what I've read Schilling is a huge asset in the clubhouse, giving advice to young pitchers and helping them with many aspects of the game.
I wouldn't compare Clemens with Curt, he loves the game, thinks he can still play baseball and help the team.
To the best of my recollection he hasn't retired three times to load his pockets.

From what I've read Schilling is a huge asset in the clubhouse, giving advice to young pitchers and helping them with many aspects of the game. Given that, plus the fact that John Farrell will probably be a hot commodity as a managerial prospect this winter or next, why not groom Schilling as his replacement? That way, Schilling gets to retire with the Sox (possibly a 4th ring?) and have a pretty good job after retirement.

Sounds like a plan, too bad it looks like they have no intention of re-signing him.

He has a gaming company that he started last year. He’s got a job after baseball.

Roger actually helped turn the Yankees around so there was value for them but he went out like a limp johnson....

Hang on nutmeg, with the Patriots going the rate they are going,with that perfect record, we could be in for another Superbowl WITH THE PATS IN IT AND WINNING IT. Prepare for a possible parade then. :-)
It is a great time to be a New England sports fan. :-)

I keep thinking you live right outside of Boston! Doh! But you are in CT - right?Sorry about the 4 hour delay in my reply. We live in north central CT (near the "notch")... a few miles from Southwick, Mass. It takes us about 2 hours to get to Fenway Park from home.

It is a great time to be a New England sports fan. :-) Sure is! I must admit that I need to take a more active interest in football. I don't follow it like I do baseball. The Patriots and Boston College (and I think even UConn) football teams are doing really well.
Can't stand the NBA, however we root for the University of Connecticut women's and men's basketball teams. I don't follow hockey much since the Whalers left CT years ago...
