Despite the attempts of some to portray Theo's return as a win for someone and a loss for someone else, this is a win-win situation. As Theo said in his press conference on Nov. 2, and as we have all repeated, there never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry's role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has. This has never been an issue for us - only in the media.

I'm hoping that we will be able to ask him about that in the future.

I've got enough problems of my own without worrying about his problems. You should ask him that.

I feel responsible. What could I have done? There's plenty I could have done. I have to ask myself, maybe, if I'm not fit to be principal owner of the Boston Red Sox.
