Tell me this is just a bad dream

I don't believe it. Nomar is gone. Tell me this is not true. I'm always going to miss Nomar. He was my favorite member of the Red Sox for a long, long time. I thought he got totally shafted this winter when we thought about trading him in a side-trade to the White Sox. He's one of the best players in the game and you want to trade him in a side-trade involving another shortstop? That's just offensive. And now in this trade, the only person we could have righteously traded him for was Jesus, and He was notably not on waivers. The front office also totally mismanaged the presentation of this whole thing. While focusing on the need for defensive strength so much-which, I admit, we will be getting in exchange-they made it sound like Nomar was not a gold glove winner and five time all star and rather some bobbling idiot making errors all the time, "How'd he get there in the first place?" That's just offensive. Theo Epstein: You'd better know what you're doing. You're only a whiz kid if you're right.
