I realized last night that I had an unread book on Terry Francona lying around, so I started it last night.

Interesting how the same exact style that apparently got him fired was one of the main reasons he got the job in the first place. Another trivia bit from the chapter I'm just starting: Francona was Michael Jordan's minor league manager in the White Sox system.

Responses:

I think how he dealt with Manny and I'm amazed he didn't kill him in a fit of rage. - Mel Profit Oct 13, 07:36 15
- I've been thinking about it more, and while I still disagree with letting Francona go... - TFox Oct 13, 07:38 5
  - I disagree with this... - Mel Profit Oct 13, 07:50 1
    - All I mean is, he pulls Pedro and they win that game, he doesn't lose his job. - TFox Oct 13, 07:51
  - I dunno, you played so well for most of the season under him. - groiny Oct 13, 07:46 2
    - oh no, they totally did and that's on them, but what the hell else is a manager supposed to do? - TFox Oct 13, 07:47 1
      - while, the hitters were not the problem, he had so few bullets in his guns. - groiny Oct 13, 07:50
- I am a little surprised that Lester's name came up in the beer-video game-fried chicken- clubhouse talk. - groiny Oct 13, 07:37 8
  - I was surprised by that as well but then again, we don't really know these guys. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 13, 07:41
  - David is right that the article on Boston's smear campaign traditions is really interesting. - TFox Oct 13, 07:40 6
    - I soured quite a bit with how Nomar was ran out of town. - groiny Oct 13, 07:42 4
      - The pain med leak and divorce stuff is bullshit. It makes me angry as hell. - TFox Oct 13, 07:46 2
        
        Honestly, it is a big part of the reason why I stopped pulling for Boston. - groiny Oct 13, 07:48
        
        I agree with every letter of this. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 13, 07:47
      - I can pinpoint, for the fans, when Nomar was done. - Mel Profit Oct 13, 07:45
    - Don Lucchino will not be dissed. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 13, 07:41
I am part;ly disappointed in not getting him to manage my team, but he was out of their price range. - groiny Oct 13, 07:34
