Dear Tito,
I can’t say I’m surprised. I’m not heartbroken. I’m not really all that disappointed. In fact, I can’t even say I’m mad. (I say this now. But maybe this is the denial talking.) Because, in truth Tito, we really didn’t deserve to make it to the ALCS. Or maybe even the ALDS.
We [...]

Dear Tito:

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 [...]

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 [...]

Do not prove a liar out of me.
Not after all we’ve been through. I defended you when you were down, praised your magic eye drops when it mattered, and waited three months for you to get your head together before deciding to commit to the rest of the season.
Now this.
Please don’t tell me [...]

I’m not really sure what to say to you anymore.
I’m disappointed? I feel hurt? Frustrated? But why is it so hard for you to understand that I get nauseous every time John Smoltz takes the mound? Why do you keep putting me through this? I thought we had something special going on this season.
Tito, [...]

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 [...]
