C.C.

I'm surprised that I'm not hearing that much about the Crisp deal. Why are people not more excited? We got a good center fielder who has some fine numbers and a better name than Johnny Damon. Epstein said they had been watching him for a year and a half, so I guess they were anticipating Johnny's traitor-ism. C.C. is six years younger than Damon, and that right there is a pretty awesome fact.

Tickets went on sale Saturday, and I realized Friday evening that I'm going to have to take a class that basically runs the entire summer. No vacation for me and no trips to Fenway. Sad.
