On this day of Thanksgiving, I would like to thank the following people for making the summer of '07 possibly the best summer of my life: Josh Beckett, Jonathan Papelbon, Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek, Mike Timlin, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Mike Lowell, Jon Lester, Kevin Youkilis, Curt Schilling, Jacoby Ellsbury, Tim Wakefield, Doug Mirabelli, Julian Tavarez, Clay Buchholz, Kevin Cash, Brandon Moss, Julio Lugo, Coco Crisp, Javier Lopez, Manny Delcarmen, Bobby Kielty, Royce Clayton, Bryan Corey, Hideki Okajima, Alex Cora, Kyle Snyder, Devern Hansack, Brendan Donnelly, Eric Hinske, Kason Gabbard, Joel Pineiro, J.C. Romero, Wily Mo Pena, Tito Francona, John Farrell, Don Orsillo, Jerry Remy, Tina Cervasio, the bullpen cop, that nice lady at the Bud Light stand in Fenway near Section 10 who would sell me beer even when I forgot my ID, Parlay the parrot, Kevin Millar, the bugs in Cleveland, Melvin Mora, Cinco Ocho, the Angels shitty hitting, Carmona and Sabathia's shitty pitching, Matt Holliday's shitty basestealing, and J.D. Drew. (yes, even J.D.)
I do not, however, thank Eric Gagne. He can go fuck a duck.

Maybe in retrospect, if somehow he nets us a really really good player, we can give thanks to Gagne. Let's see how that goes. Let us also not forget Pedro Martinez(without him going to the Mets, no Clay) and Orlando Cabrera(without him going to the Angels, no Jacoby)...and I guess Jay Payton in a sense.
Oh and kinda funny you mention Melvin Mora, he's on what I call the "Christmas Card List"(it's basically the guys who help the cause along the way by either really sucking vs the Red Sox or doing really well against the Yanks(though this is interchangeable)....feel free to use that idea sometime
But let us all give thanks regardless :)
