    Thanks for everything Wake..

    Thanks for a great run Wake!  As a former knuckleballer, I couldn’t wait to see you start.  I was on the edge of my seat on every pitch, just hoping that it would be down in the strikezone.  Thanks for all the good times and your generous service to the community.  Have a great and happy retirement.  What an example for all the kids in Rex Sox Nation.

  • Uncle Buck

    Good decision Wake.  Thanks for everything.  Many charities owe a world of thanks to you as well.

    Thanks for the memories, Wake!  So glad I was there @ your 200th win.  I hope that your next adventure is equally rewarding.  Best to you & your family.

    Tim was a class act and will be missed. There isn’t many individuals who were unselfish and put his teamates 1st. He had some years such as 3-4 seasons ago, where he was underpaid. He loved putting the red sox uniform on. Good Luck Tim on any future endeavours. I’m sure you will still be involved in with the Jimmy Fund

    Had the opportunity to see his 199th win vs the Mariners last year (he beat Pineda in a high scoring game), and I gotta say that it was always a pleasure to watch this guy pitch.   Might not have always been the prettiest games (especially towards the end of his career), but you never got the feeling that he was giving it anything less than his all.

    Love ya wake.  Can’t wait to see you in the booth

  • mystreba

    I’m really going to miss you Wake.  To call you an “institution” falls short.  You were simply a joy to watch.  Thanks for being one of the “rocks” on this team, and for stepping up in 2011 to give us 8 quality starts after Bucky went down.  Best of luck to you and your family…

  • AcieEarl

    Thank you Wake.  You were great for the Sox and even better for the community around Boston.  You will be missed.  

  • Deb I

    Thanks for the memories Wake you will be missed…. Enjoy retirement!!!!
