Memorializing The Way They Were

Memorializing of the way we were

(BDD Photo Illustration)

("The Way We Were" by Barbara Streisand)

Memorializing,
Like you leaving in my mind
Misty water-colored memorializing
Of the way we were
Scattered players,
The ‘04 team we left behind
Digs we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so awful then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to screw it up again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Memorializing, may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it’s the gorilla
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

Lucchino, Epstein Memorialize GM Deal

Boston Red Sox President Larry Lucchino: "Do we have an agreement that memorializes an agreement? Yes."

Red Sox Media Liaison Sergeant Schultz
Addressed the Print People Yesterday

“The Red Sox front office declined to answer questions yesterday concerning a number of topics, including payroll, their interest in Japanese righthander Daisuke Matsuzaka, whether they were going to deal Manny Ramírez, their free agents, and pitcher Jon Lester, who was stricken with cancer during the season.

"Lucchino and Henry both declined to speak about threshold tax and the team's payroll because both of them indicated there are currently ``sensitive" basic agreement issues being discussed in New York. The basic labor agreement expires at the end of this year.” -- 10.18.06, Nick Cafardo, Boston Globe
