Despite Age, Bobby Abreu Would Be Big Offseason Signing For Boston - Boston Red Sox - NESN.com

Abreu is the perfect player for Boston's lineup -- he's a corner outfielder with some pop, he gets on base efficiently and he's smart on the basepaths. The Red Sox would be honored to have Abreu in the heart of their order.

Guess what? They're all tired stories with minimal new developments! Wait, don't leave, here's some good stuff:

Pretty funny take on the story, actually.

games of the year

i would have to strongly consider a few of the first 8 games against the yankees. first one that comes to mind is the one where the yanks took a 6-0 lead and then burnett gave up a grand slam to varitek (his shining moment this year). then both teams slugged it out and the sox won… somehow. who remembers?

then the game where we down going into the ninth and rivera blew it on a bay home run.

also for consideration, the game wake started against the A’s like a week in. we were 2-6 and playing terrible. Then Wake almost threw a no-hitter, and i think he went all nine. turned the team around totally.

The Wakefield Game

I’d have to say that’s on the short list for me, as well, and the game where Youk and Bay homered to beat the Yanks that you mentioned.

I, personally, toss in the Youk helmet-toss, but mainly because I was there for it. :)

"links with minimal connections between them"

this made me laugh. any non-baseball person would be like, “they’re all about baseball”

No, I just didn't think that was going to get any laughs.

Postseason Format

Is awful, especially this year. There is no reason to have games played in November, EVER!!!! The worst part is we still have a 5 game ALDS instead of a 7 game series.

We play baseball the same for 162 games straight and then we change it for the playoffs? It isn’t that hard guys stop bending over for Fox.
