I love both Francona and Cora.  IMO, both are very good players managers, which also IMO, is far more important than being a good in-game strategist.  That said, perhaps it was time for Francona to go when he did.  And perhaps it was time for Cora to go, not that the underperformance of the team is necessarily his fault.

I feel the same about both. I'm also glad the Sox called Chad Tracy as interim.

He's now the youngest manager in the AL and already experienced guiding most of the young guns when Worcester was their last stop before The Show. That's the type of guy I want working with rookies and sophomores trying to ward off the Jinx.

Cora was a people person, but with the rep of being better at handling veteran players. So Tracy could be a breath of fresh air... and definitely a better choice than some old curmudgeon who can't work a cellphone trying to whip the boys back into shape.
