Larry Lucchino Fires Up Season Ticket Holders
for the Second Half

Lucchino: We Look Forward to the Return of the 'Varsity'
'Varsity' = Overpaid Prima Donnas That Led the Historic Collapse in 2011...
Sincerely, Daniel Nava, Franklin Morales, and Pedro Ciriaco

Red Sox president Larry Lucchino: "The one constant off the field is that we have had a veritable All-Star Team on the disabled list. As we begin the second half, we look forward to the return of the 'varsity,' including Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford, Andrew Bailey, and the ever-dirty Dustin Pedroia.

"While this infusion of such talent in late July may make other General Managers green with envy, you can be sure that Ben Cherington and his Baseball Operations Staff will approach the July 31 trading deadline with their tireless work ethic. If someone can further help this club, and if the deal makes sense, we will be aggressive. We want to play October Baseball this year.

"Meanwhile, as you come to Fenway Park throughout this season, we hope you will come early�the secret to fully enjoying a sports venue. Now 'A Living Museum,' Fenway Park probably leads the league in bronze plaques and commemorative displays along the concourses. Enjoy them at your leisure early, well before the escalation of excitement as game time approaches."
