Memories of 2004

My memories from the Red Sox 2004 postseason.

Blast From the Past

To ward off the cold winter, five underrated moments from the Red Sox magical 2004 World Series run.

All-Aughts Team of the Decade Honorable Mention Vote

MLB: Red Sox V Rangers May 27, 2007
Now that the All-Aughts Team of the Decade roster is complete, it's time to fill out the two remaining spots available: honorable mention and dishonorable mention. We're tackling the former today. The Red Sox have players worthy of being immortalized on the Team of the Decade even though they didn't crack the roster. Below are the five candidates eligible for honorable mention. Please take your time and vote for the candidate you feel belongs on the roster, either at the end of this article or on the right sidebar, near the top.

Foulke speaks on comeback attempt, Schilling

Orioles v Red Sox
Stan Grossfeld of the Boston Globe interviewed Keith Foulke in a piece that ran today. I enjoy Grossfeld's feature pieces -- they're enjoyable to read, and this one is no exception. It's great to hear from Foulke, and I'll always consider his 2004 postseason effort unmatched by any reliever.

Foulke lost his closer's job in 2005 amid injuries. He stuck as a solid middle reliever for the Sox in 2006, then signed with the Cleveland Indians before retiring in spring training due to injuries. He could have stuck it out and collected his money, but chose not to. He then came back with the Athletics last year, again being a solid reliever. No calls occurred this winter, so he's up in Newark, pitching for an independent team that has Carl Everett at DH.

Let's take a look at what he had to say.
