He was crazy.
He was out of this world for half a season though.

I was at a game where the crowd was chanting "MVP MVP MVP" whenever he came up to bat.

Can we just cut JBJ? Cut him and resign him for 1 year $5M. Who would pay him more? Just asking.
this guy will never see Fenway in a Sox uni, not with Kevin Pillar on duty now
If he doesn't, he doesn't. No harm having him around at the moment.
Fans have a love/hate relationship with JBJ. When JBJ is on one of his 'tears' they love him, but being Red Sox fans they're always waiting for that other shoe to drop. When he's in one of his slumps, still being Red Sox fans, they're forgetting about the good times and screaming, "Dump the bum!"
At the end of the day he's still a GG caliber CF with a career OPS >.725. In my mind that wouldn't cut it for a corner outfielder but since I'm a 'solid up the middle' guy I find him perfectly acceptable.
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.
