Giving Thanks

Clay Buchholz: This man — who still looks like a boy — provided the most surprisingly magical night of the entire season.,Cheap New York Yankees Hats
Manny Ramirez: To a pure baseball fan, is there anything more enjoyable then watching this man hit when he’s locked in?
David Ortiz: He played hard and he played hurt all year, showing again why he might be the most beloved slugger in team history. Also,Cheap NBA Hats, when the Sox were down 3-1 in Cleveland, it was Ortiz who took charge during a team meeting and demanded the players to realize what it meant to have "Red Sox" on the jersey. And he demanded that players stop looking around and waiting for someone else to step up. After that,Wholesale St Louis Cardinals Hats, the Red Sox didn’t lose another game.
Theo Epstein: He laid out a mission statement when he was hired in Nov. 2002, saying that he wanted to build a scouting and player development machine and a team that could compete for a championship every year. That mission has been lived out and the Red Sox are on the verge of perhaps becoming the model franchise in baseball.
Josh Beckett: Thanks to this ace, a 3-1 deficit seemed like nothing in the ALCS. The Red Sox don’t come close to winning the World Series without Josh Beckett — period.
Jason Varitek: The definition of captain. The definition of a leader. The definition of a player who will do anything to win a baseball game.
Curt Schilling: The guy has big game guts,cheap Milwaukee Brewers Hats, period. His postseason track record is the stuff of legend.
It’s the annual time of year to give thanks. Let’s do it from a Red Sox standpoint.
Dustin Pedroia: In my mind,Cheap Polo Hats,The Story of Cartier, this little sparkplug was the face of the 2007 Red Sox just like Johnny Damon and the free-flowing hair and beard served as the face of the ’04 Sox. When i think back to this playoff run,Cheap Monster Energy Hats, I’ll think of Pedroia’s spunk and guts on both sides of the ball.
Jonathan Papelbon: He is so automatic,Boston Red Sox Hats, you almost take him for granted. As long as Papelbon is closing games for the Red Sox, everyone is going to assume the game is over when he comes sprinting out of the bullpen.
Happy Thanksgiving to all readers and all their family members. Also,Wholesale Kansas City Royals Hats, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is part of my wonderful family,cheap Houston Astros Hats, and to all of my good friends as well.

All the best,
Mike Lowell: The World Series MVP was determined to get a four-year deal but when he couldn’t get it from the Red Sox,Monster Energy Hats, he decided to stay anyway. You have to love it when a player follows his heart,Wholesale NFL Hats, and not the dollar signs. As Lowell said,Texas Rangers Hats sale, "I was financially secure before I signed this contract.". It’s a refreshing take that would be nice to see more often.
Terry Francona: The biggest common denominator between the comeback from 0-3 in ’04 and the comeback from 1-3 this year? The manager never soured on his team,Florida Marlins Hats, not even at the lowest possible point.
