    Jason Bay in Boston

    Hey... not a Sox fan here, but one of my daughters is...

    Nice to see the warm welcome for the new LF in Boston. I liked the "Thanks Manny, but it's a new Bay" sign.

    Nice little catch there...

    I think Bay will have his best seasons in Boston. He's a top-tier talent who, I believe, was disheartened by the chronic losing of the Pirate franchise.

    Bay's now with a team that (A) needs him, and (B) is committed to getting to the World Series every year. A guy like Bay will thrive in that environment like he never has thrived before.

    Look what this guy did in his first three years in Pittsburgh. If he can hit like that with a lineup like this around him the Sox shouldn't miss a beat.

    I want to be careful-the last time we sent a prospect to Pittsburgh was the Freddy Sanchez deal. Also, last year we sent 3 prospects over to Texas for a certian pitcher who promptly went kaput. You know who I mean.

    Is it En GAG! spelled backwards?

    You know, that was great to see. As much as Fenway's LF can cover up defensive deficiencies, a good defender can really stake claim to that territory and help build a home-field advantage.

    Personally, I may have forgotten that a bit.
