Good. He was clutch a few years back, but now…the time has come for him to move on or retire I think.

I agree Rebecca. Timlin was a great member of this team, but time has caught up to him. To Mike Timlin, thank you for your service and good luck in your future endeavors.

Mike Timlin should be remembered as one of key components in two great World Champion teams. He delivered some of the biggest performances in Sox history and helped build a framework that young Sox pitchers will benefit from for years to come. His presence in an around the community was above and beyond the call. I hope he retires and takes a job in the Sox organization. Well done Mike.

I too would like to see you in a RED SOX uniform as a coach or assistant. A great big THANK YOU from me and good luck in the future for you and your family.

Mike Timlin was and is always a class act.
Thanks Mike, for all you have done for Red Sox Nation.

I agree with the other replies that Mike Timlin was crucial to the success of the Sox during his tenure in Boston. Too bad the fast ball lost its movement because he was still hitting 92-94 mph. Grady Little should have turned to him in “crucial” situations.

Best of luck to a great pitcher.

PS: Who takes over leading the “orchestra” in the bullpen?????

mike thanks for being a cog inthe wheel known as the red sox bullpen, it would be great to see you as a coach working with the kids,

Class Act – I wish him the best!

Thanks Mike ! I hope upon your retirement, you can become a coach within the Red Sox organization. Living in Portland, it would be great to see you offering your advice to the younger players in the Sea Dogs organization. Good luck in the future Mike and God Bless you and your family. Again, a big thank you for all you’ve done for the Red Sox.

Thanks for all the great memories, nothing but the best in your retirement, hope to see you on NESN.

Thanks Mike – Red Sox Nation is what it is because of your class act! Best wishes to you and your family.

good luck mike. hope to see you on nesn

MT has been a huge competitor for us, and has made tremendous contributions to the Sox success since 2003. Wish Mike the very best for the remainder of his career, and thank him for representing the Sox with class and ultimate professionalism!

Thanks Mike

Mike Timlin-even though it’s already been said -let me do it again. You are a great great human being. You were a huge part of why we did what had never done since 1918-you had already won a World Series before us, and you helped us win two. You and Tim Wakefield are to me what all ballplayers should strive to become. You two are the ultimate, consumate team players and I know you two are great friends. I hope you keep your friendship throughout your golden years and you find peace and contentment. BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT, please work as a coach for our organization, you can still impact our team in a huge, huge way. You get it…you understand how important winning was/is to us. You gave your heart to us and all you had in the most competitive sense of the word compete…on that field. Off the field you went tremendously above and beyond and I believe that you are a big reason why we have so many present day athletes in our organization giving back to the community. Why wouldn’t they- they had a great role model to show them how. Mike- I have no doubt that you will read these comments so I ask that you enjoy them, because we all tried to put our heart out to you as you did to us. Last comment I have is that in my Red Sox Room, I have some of my cheished tickets to Red Sox games attended. I am looking at the 456th consecutive sellout celebration ticket and I was there and you were there at the gate thanking me for attending September 8, 2008. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, and I hope we haven’t seen the last of you in Boston!

thanks, mike. let me echo all the other comments regarding hoping to see you in and around the organization. kudos to you for a stalwart career in boston.

Hello Mike, I always looked forward to when you were on the mound. Just wanted you to know you are my All-Time Favorite Red Sox Pitcher and you will be missed. Thank You for all your hard work. Best of fortune to you in the future as a RED SOX COACH!!!
