    Many belated, but deeply heartfelt, condolences to Stiffysboss (Cathy) and family on this loss. Although I tried many times, I never made it to a bash, but always enjoyed hearing recaps of his (and others) participation - and of course, his passionate posts. Agree with so many others who will...

    Gronk announces his retirement

    Feel compelled to join the chorus, because he was such a special player, and by all accounts, a valued teammate, who made everyone around him better. Always felt there was a chance when Gronk was on the field, even when not at his best. Sad, as a fan, a bit nervous for the team - but glad for...

    David Ortiz writes for the Players Tribune

      In early 2005, after the news of the list, and rumours of who was on the list were leaked, BUT before Ortiz' name was linked to it, I vividly remember him expressing concern and frustration about what he perceived as a complete lack of awareness and consideration by MLB of the language and...

    I'm there - first time - fabulous doesn't do it justice, but it's the best I have right now. Wish I'd caught the visual of 400 people crossing Comm Ave. at once -awesome.

    So, who goes next?

    Apologies for sounding maudlin, but I feel a great sadness over the compete decimation this month of a World Series team, including the shipping out of a number of guys who had been performing well and/or were good guys. Are they better off, IMO? Not sure yet. Just sad - and if I'm Petey or...
