My only regret of the Red Sox winning it all in 2004 was he wasnt on the team at the end. He deserved it, he gave his heart and soul to the team and the fans for years here. When the Red Sox were in the tank in the late 90's, he and Pedro Martinez carried those teams to heights they honestly had no business acheiving (ALCS in 1999, for example).
Pedro was an absolute force and Nomar was running around hitting .370 or something ungodly like that. Hope his good fortunes continue!

Dodgers aren't gunna scare anybody,but if you could see the smile on the guy's face when he put the L.A. cap on,then you would know he is home.Grady is practically a manequin in a cheap-lookin' windbreaker.So,pretty much Nomar is the main guy on a team he evidently has always wanted to play for. Unfortunately,the team is crap against good pitching.As a matter of fact,pro gamblers must love to play against them when they have to face a hot starter.They do well in a game where neither side has much good pitching that night.They can usually win those(especially at home.)I thought Kemp was gunna do really well(and he will eventually,)but he can't resist swinging at crap.He is a very strong guy,but if he can't resist swingin' at crap,then he won't get many strikes to swing at.Adrian Ethiar is like Bernie Williams.Same body type,and looks very similiar at the plate.Becoming a very professional hitter.Gunna hit for power,average,and on base %.Kemp is highly questionable in 2 out of those 3.Hasn't hit a h r for about 3 weeks.That will change when he gets some counts that favor him.He is pretty dumb(and green,)but there is a lot of power there(ton of it.)Grady is hurting a young player by pinch hitting with him.He needs to play every day,and should get to do that now that Lofton is lame.
