Good for you, Mikey. And welcome back.
And, kudos to Theo & Co. for sticking to their guns. Even I wouldn't offer four years, and I freakin' love the guy. This game has plenty of room for sentimentality, but teams are run best when they're run like businesses, and the Sox have shown this consistently over the past five years. Is $37.5 a bit of an overpayment? Perhaps, but I don't think so. Even if we might be gnashing our teeth a little by the 2010 season.
Alex Rodriguez is the best player in baseball (well, depending which numbers you choose to focus on) but he's also a dweeb, a dink, and sort of a douche. Mike Lowell is a great guy, an upstanding American and ardent anti-communist who will be a fine role model for the young dudes on this team. He has the highest fielding percentage of any third baseman in history. And that swing is just tailor made for Fenway Park. He also knows how to win in the postseason. Something Alex Rodriguez patently does not.
I think we did OK here.
Now let's trade Coco for Santana straight up and go win another World Series!
