I am deeply concerned.
No – you wait.
While you and Tony Massarotti are already off discussing who should start Game 1 of the playoffs, let me remind you that we still have to win six more in the regular season. And after losing two gimme games against Kansas City in what can only be [...]

I want to make amends. I want to come clean. Because I feel bad.
You see, yesterday, a coworker wandered into my office to talk about your performance. And I will admit, I talked shit about you behind your back.
HER: So, what do you think about Dice-K coming back? I hope his head is back [...]

Stop it. Whatever it is you think you’re doing – enough. I said I was sorry. And I meant it. Let’s move on.
Because you weren’t exactly being honest with me either. I’d call. I’d write. And what did you give me in return? Silence and four consecutive bad starts. Night after night I [...]

Dear Tito,
I’m not sure you realize what is at stake here.
Personally, I don’t care about winning the World Series again this year. I don’t care about capturing the division. I just want us to make the playoffs. I want to make it to October. I want you boys to play like you give a [...]

Editor’s note: When checking my email this morning a certain subject line caught my eye.
How nervous are you?
The email was from my friend Michael – a transplant Red Sox fan like me. I opened it and immediately laughed. He was so eloquent I am just cutting and pasting his email here:
“Do you [...]

5:42 pm: Voicemail from mom
“Hey Krissy, it’s Mom. I just wanted to let you know that Big Papi won’t be needing your services. He just hit a home run and JD Drew just hit another one right behind him so we’re doing pretty well. And Youk’s back and he’s got a hit too. But Big [...]

I hear you are coming off the bench tomorrow. Now, I am no MD. I’m no psychiatrist – just a fan with your best interests at heart. I realize I probably shouldn’t be diagnosing you without at least a phone consultation, but it’s not my fault – blame Tito. He won’t respond to my letters, [...]

Dear Tito,
I am following up with a letter I sent April 15. I never heard back from you …
I want to assure you that my original offer to serve as the Red Sox’s motivational speaker still stands. In case you may have skimmed over this part – this is a pro bono job. While you [...]

Dear Tito,
I am writing to you today to offer my services as a motivational speaker for the Boston Red Sox. You don’t even have to pay me. You see, for the past few months I have investigated potential volunteer opportunities in the San Francisco Bay Area – from tutoring high school students to advocating for [...]

Every morning I make the arduous 45 mile commute to the Peninsula from San Francisco. And every morning my routine is as follows:
Run to the bus from my apartment (and in the process, forget my pre-packed lunch in the fridge)
Sit amongst the same crew of people (none of whom has ever communicated or made eye contact with me. Journey to the Caltrain station in [...]
