Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen. |
No. We weren't looking to spend $13 million per year even over four years. |
People sometimes disagree. I don't think you can have healthy relationships without disagreements and an organization is not going to evolve beyond mediocrity without them. This is not the same organization that Theo left. There was enough discord then to give Theo legitimate reasons to move on. |
People tend to lump the Yankees and the Red Sox together in spending. |
The moon buggy is lighter in space because there's less gravity there. |
The significance is evident. You don't see the four of us sitting with anybody ever. |
The whole back of the house is falling in. It's going to take a lot of work. |
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. |
They knew going in that it was very likely Theo was coming back and this was a way to keep things on the same set of tracks. |
Things just got a lot more jovial in here. |
This couldn't have happened to a more deserving young man. |
Those of us who stay up late can enjoy the Red Sox on the West Coast. |
Wally is one of those guys who has big dreams and great plans, and nothing ever comes of them. |
We did have a discussion at one point during the off-season about sending more things to Theo, having more a one voice than three or four voices when it came to baseball, baseball players, baseball issues. But it was actually suggested by Larry. |
We didn't run into any of the players. He looked good at first, though, didn't he? He made a great play on that double play. |
