Yeah, congrats to The Little $150M Team That Could.
And- I mean this sincerely- I hope that the looming Mitchell Report doesn't implicate any '04/'07 Sox players beyond the obvious (Ortiz), because that would be bad for baseball all around.
As for Mike Lowell, I thoroughly disagree. Theo Epstein's foresight to cut the cord with aging stars Johnny Damon (Baseball Jesus/ALCS hero) and Pedro Martinez rather than resign them to huge contracts contributed to the continued success of the team. Lowell is 33, and has never been a spectacular player- if he wants $10M+ per over more than three years, let him go.
A-Rod is going to California- either the Angels, Dodgers, or Giants have a great shot.
