so i just figured out last night that kevin millar was signed as a non-roster invitee to a minor league contract with the BLUE JAYS?! i am so sad/disappointed…he’s great. i have really missed having him in boston and sometimes i wish theo was a little nostalgic for times gone by and would hook millar up with a one year deal in boston…and just as i was getting pysched to see him when i went to baltimore…grrr.

This just in: Derek Lowe put Boston on the top of his list.
I have two reactions. First is joy. Elation if you will. Pure ecstasy. The second is oh god, here we go again. If I remember correctly the reason we let the big fish get away in the first place was due to the extreme amounts of partying, carrying on and other chaos he created, albeit outside of the clubhouse. Then he goes to LA and self destructs in his personal life and has his best pitching season in 6 years. I say, Derek Lowe, the price is right, COME ON DOWN!!! I’m all for it Theo, incase you were asking for my input. He isn’t bad to look at, he still has that fire in his eyes and I think a 1-2-3 punch of Beckett, Lester, Lowe and the added bonus of the NEW Dice-K would be PHENOMENAL! Varitek is probably having a wet dream over all of this right now.
I just don’t know how my serious baseball side feels about this. I think she feels like this: As I said, this was Lowe’s best season in 6 years. He had a 3.24 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP over 211 innings this season. He was fired up after Torre took him out of his Game 5 outing after 5 innings. I see the old fire coming back to D.Lo’s eyes. So what if he is 35? These guys are pushing themselves way past what used to be considered retirement age. Let’s sign him up for 4 or 6 years. After all, we’ve got Wake, and in my eyes he is pretty well past his prime, what harm could Lowe do?
Once again Theo, my vote is to bring him back.
