Sox get a lefty loose — Wells fits in well with new mates
Write this on a slip of paper and put it away for safekeeping: David Wells and the Red Sox are a perfect fit. Long regarded as an organization that was more uptight than the Save Fenway zealots, the Red Sox are now the home of long-haired author Johnny Damon, free-pouring bartender Kevin Millar and tattooed biker Wells.
Let the New Yorkers wear those cheesy pinstriped suits.
He can still pitch, too. 
Strong work ethic defines Varitek
“When you have to handle Schilling one day and Pedro the next,” noted a major league executive, “that’s a handful right there. They’re both pros, but they can be a little prickly. They’re both dominant personalities. The fact that Varitek handled them, without incident, tells you something about him.”
Good stuff about the Red Sox captain.
This Red Sox update caught my eye for completely non-baseball-related reasons:
With nearly all of his free agent comings and goings completed by Christmas, Epstein actually found time to take a few days off around New Year’s, play some guitar with rockers Buffalo Tom and devote his Sundays to following his beloved New England Patriots.
What?! Buffalo Tom is still kicking around?! Cool!
B Tom was one of my favorite Boston bands during my college years. One of my best concert experiences was seeing them at the Paradise — My buddy and I ended up sitting on the stage, Indian-style, for the whole show. Bill Janovitz could have spit on us, but luckily he’s too nice a guy to do that.
