Every April is sort of like Christmas. Opening Day comes and the changes in the park every year seem to be better and better, and this year is by the far the biggest and best yet. To have a beautiful, sunny day and 65 degrees to show it off is just extraordinary.

ask assure autonomy baseball changed forward general larry manager move power role simply struggle
There never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry?s role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has.
ask assure attempts autonomy baseball changed conference despite forward general issue larry loss manager move portray power press return role simply struggle win
Despite the attempts of some to portray Theo's return as a win for someone and a loss for someone else, this is a win-win situation. As Theo said in his press conference on Nov. 2, and as we have all repeated, there never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry's role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has. This has never been an issue for us - only in the media.

We wish Pedro nothing but the best going forward both on the field and off the field, ... He pitched with every ounce of his being for the Red Sox over the course of 216 games. Some of those performances were among the most memorable in Red Sox history. Who will ever forget the 1999 All-Star game? He has earned everything that he has accomplished, including his World Series ring and his reputation as one of the greatest who ever lived.

We are bringing through some outstanding youngsters and the character they showed to get us through to the League Cup semi-finals at Doncaster gave us a real lift for the Christmas matches and I think we took that into the matches against Charlton and Portsmouth.
