Boston Dirt Dogs Let It Go; Did he snub you for an autograph??

A Cold Hearted Red Sox Nation???

"While some untalented members of the Boston talk radio contingency, and dirt dog basement dwellars, continue to kick a man when he's down, this "true" Red Sox fan shows a lot of class-while expressing the sentiments of many of us. Time to move on to another whipping boy. It is hot stove season 2004-05."

Happy for Sox, sad for Nomar

THINGS WILL never quite be the same. But for me this sentence MY HEART ACHES for Nomar Garciaparra. Since he was traded to the Chicago Cubs in late July, I have rooted for the Red Sox, and I cheered for them at Saturday's parade. But my feelings have changed. I am no longer driven solely by a desire to win it all. I am also driven by my love of the team's core players, who, like Nomar and Pedro Martinez, leave their heart and soul on the field every day.

Nomar's commitment to this team and to Boston over many years, his obvious love and respect for the game, and his excellence drew me to baseball.
I know that the Boston sports media and many fickle fans decided long ago that without trading him the Red Sox wouldn't be champions today. But I disagree.
