Red Sox fans - blockbuster trade - good...or bad?

Bye Bye problems (Beckett, Crawford), snoozer (Punto), less-than-slugging slugger - the sacrificial lamb in this (Gonzo) - for Loney and a bunch of promising kids and the ability to unload bad contract money....

I for one am pretty happy about it - the team has become miserable to watch. Change is necessary!

they aren't quite as brutal as Phillies fans, but pretty demanding and vocal.
