Ben Cherington can put his stamp on Red Sox

This has to be the most exciting time in Ben Cherington’s career.

In one fell swoop Saturday, the Red Sox general manager lopped off more than $275 million in contracts (save for $11 million going to the Dodgers), wiping the slate clean. He now has practically a blank canvas on which to paint his own Picasso.

can we turn in our tickeets and get a refund?

Ben, Don't stop now. Send Lackey to LIMBO fast before he spreads his cancer to the new guys. You have to fire Valentine--Thanks Bobby we will continue to pay your contract. Ellsbury needs to go ASAP, he wants huge dough but he is always injured, seeya. Don't give Ortiz any more money-he is done-don't waste the dough he will injured 1/2 of next season. GOOD JOB and tell Larry to buzz off!
