« Jacoby Ellsbury at Camp, in Vogue, But Is He Starting in CF? | Main | There's Something in "Hair" for Red Sox down in Fort Myers, FL »

Pat

I wonder too if he will be a victim of his own success. He might set too high a standard for himself after last year, or have it get to his head. I think he was in Vogue recently, and I remember this offseason he was selling autographs for 150$ a pop. Doesn't seem like the actions of an unproven rookie. On the other hand, he showed he can handle the pressure so well, maybe that is all irrelevant.

I think he'll be better than Coco last year. But will Coco too?

Derek Hixon

I always seem to remember Coco's first spring training with the Red Sox. I'm too lazy to look up the exact numbers right now, but I know he was absolutely stroking the ball and was one of the hottest on the Sox.

Then he hurt his hand sliding into third in like the third game of the season and his hitting has never really shown the same pop since that injury. Make you wonder about how fragile ballplayers can be.

I love Jacoby, and am really hoping he is the next star on the Sox, I just sometimes wonder if the Sox will regret not being more aggressive on Santana. We already had a more then decent young CF in Crisp, and adding a STUD lefty would have put the Sox over the top for years to come.

To be determined I guess...

    Photos of Game 1 of the 2007 World Series. My girlfriend Jeannine and I took my Dad and didn't tell him until we were basically at the Gate. One of the best nights of my life hands down.

    This was the first time I've been to a game with my Dad since the early 90's and it was just awesome, especially with everything that happened with my Mom a few weeks ago. I know she was watching the game with us and had to have been happy to see us happy.

2005 BDD Playoff Push Party

    Boston.com and Boston Dirt Dogs had a playoff push party at Game On! in Fenway Park on September 19. The game didn't go so well as the Sox lost, however, a lot of people had a good time hanging out while getting to "meet" the trophy!

2004 World Series: Game One

  • Mounted Police
    My brother Chris flew into Boston from Chicago to help me root on and pull for the Sox in the Series. We went right from Logan Airport to the Park and ended up watching the game across the street from Fenway at Bills Bar on Landsdown Street. We looked into scalping tickets but standing room only were going for $1,200 and up!This was a great and memorable day to be able to be with my brother in Boston to see the Red Sox in the World Series. This is a snap shot of two weeks of my life that provided a lot of sorrow, joy, sleep deprivation, and hangovers. Two of the best weeks of my life...
