I'd like to take a break from all of this basketball nonsense for a moment and address an issue that has been eating at me since this past fall and desperately needs a resolution in the near future. As many of you out there know, Spring Training is less than a month away, and for the first time in more than a decade, it seems as though the Boston Red Sox may be facing a new season without their captain, Jason Varitek. This is just wrong, and although he'll be 37 in April and his offensive production has dipped dramatically in recent years, the Red Sox still need number 33 behind the plate come April. Anything else would be a travesty, plain and simple.

You'd lose all that good will.
Johnny Pesky, with an assist from David Ortiz, ran the Championship flag up its pole and it was time to play baseball.
And the Sox evened their record at 4-4. Eight games in the book; .049382716049382716049382716049383 % of the season (isn't it odd how those middle numbers 93827 & 1604 repeat?).
