    Well, she just posted this: "The Yankees are toast before the season even starts!"
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    I also liked Leon.

    Others I really liked: Ramon Ramirez, Hideki Okajima, Darnell McDonald, JD Drew, Shane Victorino, Coco Crisp and I for some reason thought Wily Mo Pena was gonna be a superstar and was excited when we got him.

    Never liked Ramon Ramirez much, because I felt Coco Crisp was worth more and that was a bad trade where the Sox settled.

    Now Ramon Martinez I liked a lot, mostly because he only had one MLB skill during his tenure with the Red Sox - beating the Yankees....

    Ramon Ramirez and Manny DelCarmen were my two favorite flamethrowers out of the bullpen. Not because they were good but because no two buddies could put more napalm on a small fire than anyone else I knew . On the other hand I thought Daniel Bard would be HoF material with his fastball coming out of the pen. Liked him a lot until he lost his mind which I blamed on Clay Buchholz a possible mental midget.

    My first "man crush" was on Tommy Harper, while I lived just blcoks from County Stadium in Milwaukee. He was one of the first 30-30 players in MLB. When they traded him to Boston near the time we moved to Maine, I switched to being a Sox fan. (It's all his fault!)

    I loved Tiant, Lee, Burleson and Lynn.

    I was a big Cha Cha Cepeda, Oil Can Boyd, Burks and Evans fan early on, too.

    Tom Gordon, Greg Harris, Rich "El Guapo" Garces, Alex Gonzalez, Pedro, VTek, Mueller, Nava, Uehara

    Most recently, JBJ & Leon and of course, Devers.
