Gone will be Ortiz's steroidal baggage, sub-.225 batting average, and most importantly, one of the most feared left-handed hitters the American League has seen in the past seven years. From 2003-08,

A rival talent evaluator mused Thursday about how Nick Johnson -- who has been the subject of trade talks between the Red Sox and Nationals -- would be perfect for Boston. Washington is asking for pitching, but Boston is reluctant to part with any of its better young pitchers."He'd be perfect for the Red Sox," the evaluator said. "You put Johnson and [Kevin] Youkilis together in that lineup

Boston Red Sox fans no doubt still have some kind of euphoric hangover from their recent World Series win, even though it was almost two year ago. The Boston Red Sox Team won the 2007 World Series, the 103rd World Series played in Major League Baseball.

It was fun while it lasted for the Red Sox.The 11-game run came to a sudden and unexpected halt on Tuesday. Once the Sox put the wood to the Indians to jump out to a 5-1 lead in the second and a 7-3 lead entering the bottom of the third, a 12th straight "W" seemed inevitable.The Sox, after all, had not lost any game all year in which they'd held the lead after three innings.
