Billy Bean made the big deals and the team wasn't able to really finish the job. If anyone gets fired, it'll be Bob Melvin.

Billy Martin is bulletproof. They made a movie about him. Beane, yes. Martin...um...yeah... Ugh, I meant Beane. Brainfart.

Well, today's the day it all ends. After the game is final in Boston, the era of Derek Jeter will be final. After this, they'll probably retire #2 next Summer, invite him to a few Old Timers Day games in the future, and probably hold a celebration once he gets into the HoF. And as much as I ragged on the guy for hitting into DPs and having a range even AT&T would be embarrassed of, I always admired how he always was a consistent hitter throughout his career. .300+ averages both regular and postseason plus .800+ OPS in both as well, 6th on the all-time hits list and #1 for postseason hits (which is gonna go untouched for a long time), and of course he brought us many great memories like the flip play, the Mr.November HR, the dive into the stands, the HR for #3000, and the walkoff the other night. He may have not been the greatest player of all time, but he played it the right way. Thank you for making these last 20 years memorable ones, Captain. And may all your future endeavors be as successful as your playing career was.
And while I'm at it, a fond farewell to another captain in Paul Konerko. Even when the White Sox weren't much of a challenge, this guy was always a threat at the plate. Can't wait to see how long it takes for #14 to be retired by them. Hopefully sooner than later.

This Fenway ceremony is pretty great. Boston's a class organization.

Konerko is getting a statue at The Cell. Is this a bit excessive?

Jordan Zimmermann just no-hit the Marlins, with the last out being a diving catch in left center. It's the first no-hitter in Nationals history.

Fun fact: Henderson Alvarez pitched a no-hitter on the final day of the regular season LAST YEAR.
The losing pitcher in today's game where Jordan Zimmerman pitched a no-hitter on the final day of the regular season THIS YEAR...Henderson Alvarez.
