Break out the chicken parm, because it sounds like Doug Mirabelli may be headed back to don the Boston home whites again in 2008.
Per the Boston Herald's sources, Dougie Fresh and the Sox have come to agreement on terms that would bring Doug back under a one-year contract worth $550,000, with incentives that will take it up to $1 million. Both the Sox and Dougie had to give in the negotiations - the Sox wanted a non-guaranteed deal, but Doug's guaranteed portion is down from the $750,000 he made last year.

In celebration of the Stud Who Hits Bombs, I thought this would be an excellent time to revisit the classic "Day In the Life of Doug Mirabelli" -- which is uncredited, but if anyone knows who wrote this originally, I'd love to know...
