he threw out the first pitch for the sox game last night..
not a big deal there.. then he announced the lineups
on Fox.. and i'm not sure who he was talking to, but
he said the words "we" and "us" when describing the
red sox..
he currently plays for the orioles (a division rival no less)

I'm pretty sure the only reason why he signed with the Orioles is because Baltimore also starts with a B, and they're in the AL East, so he can still see his buddies 18 times a year.
It's like having your girlfriend Katie break-up with you, so you start dating Kelly who lives on the same floor in the dorm. EDIT: And then accepting Katie's invitation to come out and hang in her room from time to time when Kelly's gone.
Any truth to the rumor that Millar has been trying to hire a hitman, leaving the instructions "Take out K.Y."?

Also, isn't it a little early into the offseason for Millar to have let himself go that much? Or did he just play the entire year carrying an extra 20 pounds over his usual not-exactly-svelte playing weight?
What I don't get is - isn't there anyone else in the Red Sox's storied history that they could get to throw a first pitch? Why concentrate on the 2004 WS so soon? Do they not expect to have an opportunity when these players are retired? On Mike & Mike they said Pedro was asked and the Mets said no. I think it was wrong of Boston to look to active players. They have a long history of Bostonians to choose from, athletic or not. It was a lame idea by the Sox in the first place and a bad idea by Millar to accept.

The only thing I can think of is because of being down 3-1, they wanted to tap into the magic of that team coming back from being down 3-0 to the Yankees.
Foulke would have been a reasonable choice, since he threw the last pitch of the World Series in 2004 and he's retired now, but I don't believe he gets along with Red Sox management too well.
