Tell Bard his only route back to the majors is as a short reliever- forget about starting forever. As soon as Iglesias is ready- bring him up and let him prove or disprove whether he can hit major league pitching. Trade Dice K for a AAA pitcher while he has some value.

And while you're at it, just torch Fenway and start over again.

Really, what makes you think you'd get more than a bag of peanuts for most of those guys anyway?

, but convince me I'm wrong.

Goodbye Youk, the time had come.

Now, let's move Beckett and get back to a fun clubhouse

Chicago will take Beckett off your hands too

Congrats to Big Papi for being selected to the All Star team. Yup, the only player from the Sox, well deserved.

Ehhh, do you mean Big Poopie deserved the honor, or that the Rod Sux didn't deserve to get any consideration other than the requisite one member from each team?

Elsbury and Crawford are back and looking good. Dare I say reason for optimisim? In that vein, here's hoping Big Papi is not hurt too bad and does not need to go on the DL.
