Welcome

Welcome to Under the Mango Tree. I'm John; pleased to meet you. Glad you could stumble upon us.

My friend and I, Mr. Grumpy, have been loyally following the Red Sox for years. We have had many triumphs, many failures. We have had the best of times, we have had to worst of times. Fast forward to 2010, when General Manager Theo Epstein has sold us on a "bridge season," one meant to bring us from the celebratory heydays of 2004 - 2007 to the promise of the youth of tomorrow.

Well, on May 4, we sit at an uninspiring 12 - 14, good for fourth place in the American League East. Heads will roll folks, heads will roll.

What will we be doing here? Hopefully, we will be entertaining. We will be offering analysis of the Sox, what they're doing, what they should be doing. We will be mocking others opinions of the Sox. We will be mocking each other. We will be mocking innocent people. It will be fun.

So do stay tuned. We're glad you're here.
