I LOVE THEO ON THANKSGIVING
Time to talk turkey with 'Tek and Co.
Thanksgiving 2003 was all about receiving. Red Sox Nation continues to give thanks to Theo for acquiring Curt Schilling, and with him a 2004 World Series Championship.
Well, happy Thanksgiving 2004. The Mets have jumped into the Pedro sweepstakes. Al Leiter and the Mets have agreed discontinue talks, so the Mets have turned their loser eyes to D' Lowe. http://mets.scout.com/2/322712.html
The Sox should have signed their anchor, Jason Varitek, before the 2004 season. The same 4 year, $36 million offer that is currently being rejected would have gotten it done a year ago.
Letting a player play out the final year of his contract can clearly backfire.
Thanksgiving 2004 needs to be about giving. Give D'Lowe an offer. Give O.C. a call back. Give Pedro a take it or leave it offer, then move on to Pavano. Give 'Tek a call and invite him to Thanksgiving dinner, without Scott Boras. Split the wishbone with some of these guys, so that Theo can move on and improve on last year's team. This is fun. Can't wait for the winter meetings. Happy Thanksgiving. -Nomarfan2004
