It was announced roughly two days ago that the Red Sox are out of the Mark Teixeria sweepstakes. As soon as I heard the news, I was happy. Like I've been saying since the second the rumor came out in the first place, we don't need Mark Teixeria. When you get to Game 7 of the ALCS, there's not much to improve upon, especially if some of your star players had injuries (Mike Lowell). Teixeria would've messed everything up with the Red Sox.

Last week, Curt Schilling said that he had a conversation with Varitek, in which Varitek said that he might be willing to catch less games, but Schilling isn't sure if he's mad about that. Obviously, Varitek doesn't want a reduced roll, after all, he's in great shape, and can call games like no one else. Even though I've been told not to trust agents (even The Matrix advises us not to), I agree with the example that Scott Boras turns to, Carlton Fisk.
As a fans of the…
