In 2101, when "The Red Sox Century: Volume 2" is released, it will start off with good times, similar to the first volume. But then, a vital cog in those good times will be let go, and baseball historians will look back at that moment as the point at which good times started to go bad. They will state that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and when you casually cast aside a player who did so much to help you win, you may not be able to recover for decades.

The Red Sox have released Ricky Gutierrez.
