Ever since Theo stopped being able to do his job (around July 2004), we haven't had a plan or a clue.<BR/><BR/>Obviously every bad thing that could happen won't happen this year, but I would feel far more confident if we had a GM who could fix matters. I'm afraid of having 2 40 year olds, a guy who has never pitched in the majors, and a horrible pitcher who can't keep the ball in the yard.<BR/><BR/>Papi, Manny and the Papelbot, thank god for them. I just have to hope that Ellsbury can take over center once Coco fails miserably yet again.Sean Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965480927483549287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-72318475389696272272007-04-01T17:14:00.000-07:002007-04-01T17:14:00.000-07:00Dice-K will be lucky to get a 4.2 ERA, Schilling w...<I>Dice-K will be lucky to get a 4.2 ERA, Schilling will probably be around 4.4, Beckett won't get lower than 4.9, Sexy Lips is Sexy Lips, and we have no center fielder or shortstop.</I><BR/><BR/>Jeez.
