The Chief sums up today's Shaughnessy column on poor forgotten Bill Mueller:
... There's nothing quite like the media complaining about a subject's lack of press. ...

garciaparra.com exists so that we may beseech the Sox to re-sign Nomah.

Mark thinks the Globe got seriously carried away playing the dual teeny-bopper Sox GM story so prominently on the front page today (although given recent changes at the Globe, I'd take issue with his assertion that it is "a major newspaper with national and international ambitions"):
... Seems to me that this story belonged on the Sports front with a front-page teaser. ...

Red has some other suggestions for comeback kids the Sox could sign, starting with Dwight Evans:
I've never been a big Nixon fan... can't we dust off Dewey for a couple more seasons? Not only does he look like he could still navigate the right field corner, but, more importantly, "Dew-ey" was the coolest nickname ever chanted in the stands at Fenway. ...

Randy's running on a poll on the formerly unthinkable: Do you want to see Clemens back in Boston?
By adamg - 12/8/05 - 3:25 pm
OK, so he didn't really do all that well here, but why must the Sox trade yet another shortstop whose first name ends in ahhh?

Red wishes Sox management would STFU already about Doug Mientkiewicz and The Ball:
... Dudes, if you really want to give me the chance to experience a "cherished symbol of suffering redeemed," then stick Dave Roberts in a glass case -- or maybe something more cozy, like a two-bedroom unit on Marlborough Street -- and let me stop by to see him once in a while. That would be experience enough for me. ...

RallyCuff takes a look at photos of Manny's $6.9-million Ritz condo and gets creeped out:
... Of the "memorabilia" laying around the house - pictures of Manny's family, his World Series trophy, the Pedro bobblehead with Manny Jr.'s scrawl across the face and jersey ... it was like Manny just died or something ... like something horribly tragic had evaporated him and his whole family and we were all being treated to a vulture's view of the corpses. In short, I didn't like it. Some things are personal and I don't need to see them. ...

Dan loves the idea of getting Lowe back, in part because he seems to thrive under pressure, in part because, well:
... Clement, I'm afraid, is going to be Matt Young-ized if he stays here, not just because of his own skittishness but because many Boston fans are spoiled, mean-spirited yahoos. (That is, unless you think the hapless Mark Bellhorn deserved to be hounded out of town.)

ESPN reports the Sox will send shortstop Hanley Ramirez and a couple of minor leaguers to Florida for starter Josh Beckett and third baseman Mike Lowell.
Seat 21: This is huge.
Sox1Fan: THIS IS A MISTAKE:

Murray Chass declares: Lucchino: Just a Soul Who's Misunderstood.
Bruce wonders why a Times columnist would devote so much space to defending Larry. Part ownership of the Sox, perhaps? Bruce is willing to cut Chass a tiny bit of slack, but still, he asks you to imagine Gordon Edes writing a similar hagiography of George Steinbrenner. Hard to picture, no?

The Professional Media Critic finally weighs in on Theogate. For the most part, Mark Jurkowitz's long piece tells you absolutely nothing you couldn't have read last week on, oh, Boston Sports Media Watch, although it could prove useful as a handout for new immigrants from Kansas or Mars who don't know why local sports fans keep cursing this Shaughnessy guy. Curiously, though, the one thought-provoking new idea comes all the way at the end, in the very last paragraph:

Globe ombudsman Richard Chacon concludes his two-part overview of the relationship between the Red Sox and the Globe without once mentioning the whole Larry Lucchino/Dan Shaughnessy thing. And then there's the whole accepting-World-Series-rings thing, on which he backpedals.
Dan concludes:
His first column was respectful but tough. This one is, uh, respectful.
