I figured I had completely butchered it at first :smash:

Last night was *fairly* late for me. Normally I'm out at like 10:30, 11 latest.

I mentally prepare myself to be up until 1 AM this time of year. However, the bloody Red Sox had other plans...

The Patriots have 2 Sunday night games and a second Monday night game. Those are my 4 late football nights. I'm happy the Pats don't have any Thursday games or Saturday night games this year.

Bobby V to the Red Sox? My brush with fame was Bobby stepping on my foot in his bar in Stamford CT

It will be a one year marriage. Bobby V signing is just to get asses in seats for next season. No more, no less. The Free Agent market lacks the talent for the Sox to go out and sign players that will make much of a difference. They spent a boat load last year on Agon and Crawford and it got them no where. They're not going to go out and overspend again, especially when the talent that's available is so poor or doesn't make sense (Fielder, Pujols).

The Sox will probably make the wildcard 1 game playoff and lose. Valentine takes the fall, John Farrell or Joe Madden becomes available, Sox sign one of them, shed some payroll to sign new free agents and hope to contend again in 2013.

In the words of our old friend Theo Epstein, 2012 is a bridge year.
