"The AL East will be won by a general manager; not by players or managers this year."
^Yeah. I'd bet on AA in a sumo wrestling match vs Cherington, Cashman, Friedman or Duquette.
OK, we won the game yesterday. If we win today, that's three in a row, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!

I don't see anything wrong with having some hope that Romero will have a decent season, it has happened before. ie. Ervin Santana, Ubaldo Jimenez
Its seems for some hope equals having an expectation.
So maybe in 15-20 years they will hire him as the GM and/or President just because he is Canadian. And he will take us to the promise land because on a completely unrelated note, he actually knows his s***. I'll be patiently waiting.
