... The Sox May Move You Out of 'Mega-Media Central' Soon,
Then You Won't Have to Be a Highly-Paid Cheerleader All Year

"I can cheer lead with the best of ‘em, that's not where I want to be though." -- Coco Crisp

Coco Prefers Trade to Bench

"Like I said, I wouldn't be happy sitting on the bench. A lot of people say, well, I don't deserve it. That’s understandable too, I didn’t have a good offensive year like I’ve had in the past. I think I’ve proved myself that I can, when healthy, and shown that my defense is way better than what people thought. People think that my offense is terrible. Now it's time to show them that my offense really isn't. Went through a couple of bruised up years, everybody goes through that. Unfortunately I just went through that when I came over here to mega-media central.

"I want to play everyday, I think everybody wants to play every day and if you don’t, you know, I think there’s something wrong with you. I don’t want to sit on the bench, I mean, I can cheer lead with the best of ‘em, that's not where I want to be though." -- 2.20.08, Coco Crisp in Fort Myers today
