THANK GOD IT IS OVER!!!

Thank GOD!!!!! I am so GD happy that this whole stupid ordeal is over with. Do you realize what a clown Varitek looks like now? The Sox completely low-balled him - although they are overpaying him in reality if that makes sense - and he tried to bully his way to a better deal for himself, which he could not do by misjudging how much the Sox really wanted him back. I still really wish that he decided to sit out the season, that would have been hysterical. Furthermore, at least in my mind Varitek squashed a bunch of built up goodwill he had with the fans, and now when he is hitting .220 in July and piling up 0-fers, everybody will say, "we waited two months for this???".

Anyhoo, not to pile on or anything but in case you buy into the pitch-calling myth, here is a post I did back in October.

Also, as you read on boston.com and espn.com about how Abreu is a natural fit for the Sox, remember who started spouting that logic about two months ago, will you?

That's it. If you are a Pats fan and rooting for the Steelers, I don't know what to tell you, you've got some explaining to do.
