Tough town

[Northern Star]

Dombrowski also has learned over the past three seasons that managing the Red Sox is different than managing other teams. The criticism is harsher here, the second-guessing more rampant.There was a reason late Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino used to say that then-Red Sox manager Terry Francona’s job was more difficult than his.

 

"Managing is a tough job, period. I think it’s a tougher job here than maybe anywhere else," Dombrowski said. "The scrutiny you receive. Being in the game as long as I’ve been in the game, I’m amazed somewhat [by] the scrutiny aspect of it. And then when I look at the names behind [Farrell's] desk, the number of pictures and how few guys have stayed a long time, it just shows you it’s a tough job."

The Big Apple is worse.

The Big Apple is worse.

 

Debatable. I dont think most of their fanbase cares as much as Boston's does.

The Big Apple is worse.

 

It would be had they lost as much as the Sox did before Henry.

NY is a pretty tough town too. I think it just depends on who is have the worse season.

[Thunder]

The worst fans are definitely in Philly

Tough town for a 93 win team which was really good in extra innings games.
