Man, this guy is a basket case. Buyer beware. This club house is the complete 180 degree turn from the 2004 World Champion Red Sox i nthe sense that they have a bunch of characters but seemingly no leadership and no comradery. With all of these personalities those are some key missing components that are stopping the Cubies in their tracks.
