Flashing back to that fateful March morning

My friend Emily, who was working in the same office as me at the time, yelled over to my cubicle,
"They just traded Bronson!"
I knew it was a possibility. Against his manager's advice, he had left himself open to just this scenario. But I never believed Theo would betray his trust that way. A lot of people didn't.

What the hell did we know?

I blogged about it that day. A lot. And then continued to blog about it. Theo has no idea what he unleashed in me when he traded Bronson. Hell, I didn't even know.

Now, short of a year later, Bronson is one of the aces on the Reds pitching staff. My dreams of the Reds trading him back to the Sox for a bag of balls are long gone. All I can do is enjoy his success in Cincinnati and count the days when he's back in Boston playing for the hometown team.
