Last season's "Cowboy Up" rally cry is dead and buried, but other themes -- like Red Sox hitting coach Papa Jack's slogan "Somebody Gotta Pay" and Kevin Millar's "Skin it to Win It" (regarding shaving heads again) -- have been bandied about for this squad. So far, though, nothing has stuck.

What do you think the 2004 Red Sox battle cry should be? We'll post your ideas and pick our top 10 on Friday.

On August 10, a member of 406club.us challenged the sox to "Summon the fire." We've gone 18-3 since.

I think Sox fans should just stick with the normal cheer, "Here we go Red Sox... Here wa go!" (followed by two claps) It seems the rest of the country is familiar with it, as Jerry and Todd mention to viewers almost every away game. Lets stick all Red Sox chants to the basics just as the Red Sox are sticking to the fundamentals of baseball. (All their hard work is definitely paying off)

I think the battle cry should be "ALL-IN" because you gotta go all-in to win it all. The Red Sox are going ALL-IN in 2004.

It's been said before, but we gotta get behind "Tessie." It worked in the early 1900s and the new, reveamped version should work now.
