Thanks for making the correction.

I've been watching this young woman run since she was a high school junior, and she's amazing. Think it would be possible to get her name right and spell it as Shalane instead of Shane? (Probably not more »

Comment on: Final: Marlins 5, Red Sox 1 - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Am I the only one to constantly think of Martin Short's Jackie Rogers Jr character whenever I read about Jackie Bradley Jr?

Comment on: Grapefruit League Game 26: Phillies at Red Sox - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Both catchers in the lineup on opening day? Isn't that a risky way to start the season? They'll come up with a better alternative, or perhaps one that doesn't smack of desperation to start the seaso more »

Comment on: Belichick gives measured answers when asked about Gronkowski - Extra Points - Boston.com
I get easily irritated when people get angry at "the media" or "the press", but when I look at the questions that were posed to Belichick - and the emphasis on his long pauses before answering - all I more »

Comment on: Live updates: Red Sox at Orioles - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Wow. I'm amazed at the kind of mean-spirited comments that are directed at Pete Abraham during SPRING TRAINING games. I absolutely understand the desire for timely updates during the regular season ( more »

Comment on: Sox waiting for MRI results on Ortiz - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Wasn't something included in his contract about this considering that he was "injured" when they signed him to a two year deal? Obviously, it had to be a concern given last year's incredibly slow (no more »

Comment on: Carp 'can't wait' to join Red Sox - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Pete, Gordon Edes wrote that Nava is out of options. You have him with options remaining. I think that you're right, but how certain are you about Nava's options? (I'm really hoping that you're ri more »

Comment on: Alfredo being Alfredo - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Aceves showed up in great shape and that shouldn't be overlooked. I'd rather figure out a way to deal with a strange talented player who shows up in shape than one with talent who can't show up in pr more »

Comment on: The wonderful world of Alfredo Aceves - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Count me among those who hopes Aceves stays with Boston. He's quirky, but I love this guy! And I always believe that he cares about being good at what he does.

Comment on: A different Drew joins the Red Sox - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Although I find the wording awkward, I believe the intent was to say that, despite the fact that they are brothers, they are different. Stephen Drew isn't JD Drew.

Comment on: Ortiz should be ready for start of season - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
I would guess that Saunders was willing to sign for 1 year in Seattle because of the dimensions and reputation of that park as a pitcher's park, and Fenway does not enjoy - nor deserve - that reputati more »

Comment on: More from John Lackey - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
During the Patriots season, something occurred to me; we seem to be OK with John Lackey's exasperated behavior and gestures that seem to show up his teammates...as long as that behavior comes from Tom more »

Comment on: Could Mike Carp be a fit for the Red Sox? - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
Colvin would make more sense than someone like Carp, or than Napoli? The other day, I thought you were suggesting that Colvin should be the target to play 1B for the Sox instead of Napoli or someone more »

Comment on: Report: Sox want one-year deal for Napoli - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
I have a feeling that one of the reasons that the Red Sox, Yankees, and some other big market teams are often identified on limited no-trade-clauses is because that gives the player financial leverage more »

Comment on: Red Sox could lose players in Rule 5 Draft - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
This might be a ridiculous question, but has a team ever used a rule 5 draft pick for one of the players in the organization it doesn't want to lose but didn't protect by adding to the 40 man roster? more »

Comment on: Bobby Valentine says he was undermined by coaches - Red Sox - Boston.com
The Queeg analogy has some merit, but it might be helpful to remember the scene AFTER the court martial in which Jose Ferrer lambastes the officers of the Caine for the shameful way that they failed t more »

The enemy of my friend is my enemy...

Comment on: Cherington: 'Nothing is up' with Valentine - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
This is when the official decision to shut down Ortiz is made, and/or announced.
