No, you don't get to call yourself this any more

From a discussion about whether the Red Sox should re-sign pitcher Derek Lowe:

'One reason the Red Sox failed to get into the WS this year was clearly TOO MANY MEN LEFT ON BASE. They need a run producer in the middle of the lineup; Theo should go all out for Mark Teixeira; getting another pitcher would be icing on the cake. They could go for another reliever and put Masterson or even Papelbon in the rotation.

They really need to let Varitek go; he's been great, but they just cannot afford such a week hitting bottom of the order. We don't know if Big Papi and Mike Lowell will ever be the same.

HITTING FIRST, then pitching if any money left over! Theo, are you listening? R.J.Tata, a long suffering fan of 60 years!!'


No, you were long-suffering before 2004. Not now.

Also, can we officially start distinguishing between 'resign' (quitting the game) and 're-sign' (signing again with a team)? Otherwise it can get very confusing.
