"It was an extremely difficult decision," says Hazen. "The opportunity in San Diego is tremendous. Jed is going to be very successful, and it doesn't get any better than working with Bud Black [Padres manager]. But the situation in Boston is unique, there is a tremendous spirit in the organization and I have a lot of things that remain to be completed."

"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.

"I would tell those fans that we're going to play good baseball. We're going to play hard. We're going to have exciting young players..." -Bud Black

And subliminal man strikes again:

“It was an extremely difficult decision Because my wife was all “Get me the hell out of Boston”, and I was all “But Jed’s such a Dick”," says Hazen. “The opportunity in San Diego is tremendous As was the digging of the Panama Canal, but that took a few years too. Jed is going to be very successful Because he’s a Dick, and Dicks are generally successful , and it doesn’t get any better than working with Bud Black Unless you want to actually win ballgames[Padres manager]. But the situation in Boston is unique, there is a tremendous spirit in the organization Large amounts of money and I have a lot of things that remain to be completed Like being involved in a World Series before I’m 70.”

"And now for something completely different"
