Jerry Ballgame kicks off the week with some random observations from the Boston sports scene. He weighs in on Terry Francona, Bill Belichick’s lack of recent playoff success and even sexism in sports.

Jobu talks about what it meant for him to see CC Sabathia choose to sign an extension with the New York Yankees.

Jobu continues his plan for the Yankees 2012 season, this time with the offense! In my last post, I broke down my plans for the pitching rotation and the bullpen. The most risky suggestion I made was to try to find some way to get someone to take A.J. Burnett off our hands, or just…
