"I hope we have this problem every year," said Theo Epstein when asked about the final-out ball from the 2007 World Series. You may remember the fiasco and hurt feelings involved when the Sox and Doug Mientkiewicz embarked on their power play over the ownership of the 2004 ball. Last we heard was that Jason Varitek had slipped it into his pocket at Coors Field, then gave it to Jonathan Papelbon. Well, today it broke......

Anybody who thought yesterday to charge $1.00 for blood pressure checks at Fenway can probably retire today a happy person. Where to begin? Both starting pitchers - Schilling and Mussina - looked human, and both seemed to get untracked by a half-hour rain delay.

It was only time before the golden boys of Boston were going to lose a bit of their shine. Sure, we’ve heard of the Sox players waiting out for more lucrative contracts, but now firstbaseman, Doug Mientkiewicz is looking to make some more cash with the game winning World Series ball. He’s got it in a lockbox in his Florida home and no one, not even Theo, can get at it. For those of you......
