The Red Sox Are Sold!!!

They were bought by the Henry-Werner-Otten Group, to immediate cries of fixing. It's kind of an old-boy-network trade, Henry and Werner being current and former owners, respectively, who are quite amiable with baseball Tsar Bud Selig. We don't know how much of a shakedown there will be, but even though Duquette has done a good job this winter (getting Damon, Clark, Reese, Burkett, Hermanson; expelling Everett), I think all of Red Sox Nation would like to see him go, along with Joe Kerrigan. The only non-player in the Sox organization who I like now is Tommy Harper, and I'd love a real flushout.
