Fenway Park has gone from among the most fashionable places to be seen to just another ballpark, and the timing could not be worse for a Red Sox administration that might have been planning for another lean year.
Seriously, might not that be, above all else, the reason the Sox put in a claim for Johnny Damon? The Sox lack star power. The Sox lack appeal. The problem now is not solely that there are better teams (plural) in the American League East, but that there are more exciting ones, too. The Red Sox are closer to fourth place than they are to second or first, and there appear to be no quick fixes on a relatively thin free agent market that could include Adrian Beltre, Victor Martinez and David Ortiz.

really?
yup, the Sox lack flash and star power. BECAUSE THREE OF OUR BEST (AND MOST POPULAR) GUYS ARE OUT FOR THE YEAR.
But you know he’s right, if management had just signed Texeira, then we would have star power.
I hate Massarotti
But
even if the Red Sox offered Teixieria the contract the Yankees gave him, they woulda gone higher anyways

No, I know
I’m talking about how Massarotti has carried this torch for Texeira long after it came to light he was always going to be a Yankee.
Absurd.
Massarotti is trying to stir the pot. Go away, Mazz.

I used to like him but he has been too negitive.
Fenway is fine

He's part of that older generation of Boston sports writers that thinks this crap is part of their job description.
The more discussion this crap article generates – good or bad – the happier he is with it.

I don't think I've ever read one of his posts that hasn't been negative.
We could be up 12-0 in game 4 of the World Series about to sweep and he’d still find something to bitch about.
If I was your math homework I'd be really hard and you'd be doing me on your desk.

Good reminder
why I don’t read the Globe any more.
I want to write an article for the Globe
It will be titled, “After Panic Article, Just How Far Will Massarotti Fade?”
It will go in-depth into how Massarotti was once a very popular sports writer, but lately he has been losing popularity, and with a tough end of the season for the Sox, what will he write about?
