Bring Back Tek
November 21, 2008

So much chatter on Jason Varitek coming or going.  I think he should stay!!!

 

Jason Varitek's the Pride of the Sox.

When he's behind the plate he's sly like a fox.

Using his computer mind to attack hitters where they're weak,

For Red Sox pitchers it's his knowledge that they seek.

 

Even though he struggled at the plate all year,

His leadership, game calling and defense are still crystal clear.

You can't put a price on the confidence he instills.

He carries pitchers through games with his iron will.

 

The Red Sox are a championship team.

They enter 2009 with a World Series dream.

To fulfill that promise our Captain must return.

A new contract shows him the respect he has earned.

 

With a look to our future, we ponder our Captain's fate.

We need to bring him back, we can't wait.

He's our heart and soul, the leader of the pack.

We need him here to lead the attack.

Although my favorite Captain was Carl, no one instills confidence like Tek does... O Captain, My Captain!

Good poem...but I am in the "Tek better start hitting or he can go" camp.

I love it, very witty. He has earned out respect. He would smile if he read that-for sure!

Leadership has much more of an impact then the average fan realizes. Just lining up the most talent does not win championships. It is my feeling that without Tek the pitching staff would suffer for a year or two while his replacement grows up. I figure they should attempt to trade for one of Texas' youngins and sign Tek. Carry three catchers so if Tek's offense continues to stay down they can pinch hit for him in key situations. He wears the "C" for a reason, and it produces wins. ...View More

I was going to post mine today): Now I have to wait. It's ok though, I it was someone I didn't like, I'd be really angry & curse. But I won't hold it against you cause your a cool dude!

Nice poem. So what did Tek do to deserve all the crap I've read. Did he quit on his team? Stop trying? He cares about his teammates and I'm sure he cares what the fans think. I will continue to wear my Varitek shirt and be proud to show my continued support. Who else walked along the entire edge of the seats to slap hi-fives and shake hands with the fans after they clinched the wild card. He has been a rock for this team and now some want to kick him to the curb. I think Tek deserves the chance to redeem himself. ...View More

Poet, I don't mean anything YOU wrote, but moreso the responses. Just wanted to be clear.

Great Post!!!

You are absolutely right, Jed!!! We need to show Tek how much we appreciate all he's done. True, he had a tough year at bat, but it doesn't cancel out his top-notch catching. Great post, Poet! BRING BACK TEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Captain, our Captain. I just wish Tek wouldn't switch hit so much...his success is so disproportionate depending on which side he swings from. What a brilliant guy to have behind the plate though.

I agree we need to bring tek back out of respect and his defensive play, and everyone knows you can have a bad year hitting
