It is kind of funny how many bonehead comments get put in this blog. At first I thought that might be frustrating to you, but I am starting to get the impression that you enjoy those comments more sometimes. Maybe it is just my sarcastic side that thinks you enjoy answering them too.

Matt

Nothing wrong with your ENTIRE quote, but ANY part of ANY quote that includes the words “We don’t need him (Clemens)” is just ASKING for that portion to be lifted from the total quote. Translation: you have always been one to shoot from the hip without thinking but also one who then bitches when others “misconstrue” your words. Guess who’s fault that is?

U basically risked your career to win us the World Championship. You are a genuine hero and great leader for us on and off the field. Thanks!!

As far as Clemens goes, I agree 150% on what u said- we dont need him– we have 6 good SPs(Lester not far away) and the NYY had a major need here. I like our team chemistry and balance, the season is long and maybe down the road we might need a SP but today I love our team.

U keep doing what u are doing, beat on CHB and his ilk and PLEASE resign here.. we need you!!!

GO SOX!!!

Pitchers cant sit on his fastball because of the splitter, and it has made him so much better, as i’m sure it has for you over your career.
I was watching a recent game and saw you having an engaging conversation with Dice-K in the dugout. I’m wondering how easy it has been to communicate with him in the dugout, whether in english or Japanese. Does he know much more english than he lets on….or have you become proficient enough in Japanese to have any conversations beyond the basic greetings?…

I would like to ask a question about Daisuke.

Does he have problems communicating with you and the other teammates?
It seems you guys don’t have much conversation with Daisuke.

And when Tek or the coach talking to him during the game,he always said the same word “Okay”….

This is what I’m wondering about…

Thanks,

bonbonhomme

I know you get millions of questions, but I just have one quick question for you.

Prior to the 2004 Red Sox season, I decided to purchase a Massachusetts issued vanity License Plate called “SOX 04″. And for the first time in 86 years, you guys, the 2004 red sox, won the world series.

My question to you is: Do you personally like the license plate? And of what value do you think it is?

I appreciate your time, and this blog is a true testament to your character.

Thanks,
Dan… soxin2007

what was your point of view of baseball players wearing the number 42 this sunday on the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson day?

I think that what you are doing is awesome. Keeping in touch with the fans and actually responding back is “what it is all about.” Alot of Pros would never even think twice about doing something like this. I have alot of repsect for that. My question to you is :
What runs through your mind after you make a bad pitch, even when you have been in total command of your pitches ? For instance like yesterdat in the 7th you wnet to ball 3 on 2 batters and you were talking to yourself in disgust. Is it more to get yourself back onto the game plan or just mental frustration on making the bad pitch?
Also, why are there not more pitchers that study the game as much as you do and are you changing your approach to your game; leaning more on off speed pitches and mixing in your fastball. This seems to be working, almost confusing the batters not knowing what will be coming next.
Keep up the good work.

Matt

I have confidence in every reliever with the exception of Joel Pineiro, and hopefully he will get into a groove. Regardless, this is the type of Sox team I have wanted to see for a long time – excellent starting pitching, a lights out closer, a reliable bullpen, a productive offense and a strong bench. No longer do the Sox have to score a lot of runs in a game to offset a mediocre rotation. It will be an exciting year in Red Sox Nation!
