If it had happened, the Sox wouldn't have either Manny or Lowell right now, and that would be sad. YmoBeThere, why won't they have Lowell after this year? Who else is out there they'd sign over him? I believe he's on record as wanting to stay. Why wouldn't they keep him? If the answer is money, hey, prove my point again. But it will depress me, spend that money on Lowell, please!
Red Sox fans and angst are a match made in heaven.
