Can the Boston Sports media just let things go?

Maybe it is all markets. But I follow Boston sports, and the sports media in the city seem to really have a difficult time just moving on when athletes - in particular baseball players - leave for a new team. This is the latest example - a 66-page slide show detailing where ex-Red Sox players are and how they are doing? Who cares? It is 2009 - newsflash for the Boston media: athletes change teams. It happens. Are the Red Sox suffering because any of these guys are playing for other teams? Wait, if only the Sox held on to David Aardsma - maybe they would be in first place? Things changed dramatically in how people feel about the Red Sox after October 27, 2004. The old line of "why can't we get players like that" just doesn't matter anymore. I don't care what any of these people are doing. Break a sweat maybe and come up with something new to talk about, write about and turn into a 66-page slide show.
