Millar's Comments

[sarasoxfan]

If you ask me the Millar thing isnt bad. It is good in my opinion that these guys wannna play so much they get pissed when they dont, and that occasionally they say so. I like it I think it shows heart and caring which I have always thought was a little lackig on this years club. Indeed, I have wondered why theo got some of the guys he did making first base, and the outfield rather over crowded.. It is well documented that I despise Francona but given his goal to be loved by his players (win or lose) he does face an extraordinarily difficult task keeping guys moving in and out of lineup. The Millar's, McCarty's and Kapler's also make things (thank God) more difficult by playing well when they get a shot. I suppose there could be worse problems.

 

Millar mouthed off and then apologized of course, he got to play becasue Manny got sick--so in a sense he got what he wanted.

 

Anyway, it was nice to take two series in a row and get back to fenway against the devil rays.

 

Now if we can get rid of a certain Yankmee fan on this site life will be good again.

The only thing I will say is that while Millar was sucking it up and getting barraged by the media and fans, Francona stuck by him. How did Millar repay him?

He's a little bitch for openly complaining to the media about his playing time.

 

He has a point. This lineup needs more consistency if people are going to settle in and get hot for the stretch run.

 

Terry: Have some conviction, pick a lineup, and go with it!
