I am happy that Sean has been signed by someone. At least we will be able to watch him play this year.

Sean! We'll be glad to see you this season!

He looks great! I wonder if he will keep the beard or go back to the goatee? (is that spelled right?) I can't wait to see him at Comerica.

He definitely looks well rested! (goatee is correct) I just want him to be happy!

Yeah, I'm with you. I just want him to be happy and get the chance to play. He is such a great guy!!!! They have a video of him at a press conference as a new Red Sox. It's funny.

Missed you today at 1B, Sean-o. Best of luck in 2008!

Despite his lack of power numbers at 1B, I thought Casey was a class act (He was 'My Tiger' last year). I wish him every success.

Has anybody seen/heard the Red Sox' first game?
