    Tim Wakefield retires after 19 years

    Time to open fire,

    let me start:
    Ahem

    When your age exceeds the speed of your fastball, it's time to retire from baseball

    Tim Wakefield always was their to remind us that if we learned just one pitch in high school, we'd all have been millionaire major leaguers.

    In honor of his retirement, Fenway Park will lower all flags, and then abruptly lower them into the ground until they roll off into the backstop.

    Varitek rarely caught Wakefield over the course of his career...in fact the sox overpaid to get doug mirabelli back when the tek experiment was a disaster a few years back
