Damn Soxtalk just ate my post. That hasn't happened in awhile. What I was saying is that although I don't know this author, Jim over the years has always wanted to "balance" his content on the Sox according to (imo of course) some antiquated idea about journalism and fairness. Jim has critiqued the Sox plenty over the years so I know he's got it in him, but he wants to be "fair" so he'll have his site publish a piece like this for "balance" even though there is nothing positive to push about the Sox right now.
This writer also writes for Futuresox and frankly he just seems to be a bit of a sunshine blower. That's fine, it's free content, but it's not anything I can agree with.
