^^Riverside speaks the truth.
joe's next visit will be ONLY when Francona and the Red Sox lose a game we could have won. Well, joe, why can't you just give THE OTHER TEAM credit for doing WELL for once? I give Randy Johnson all the credit in the world for that performance. It was AMAZING. How he was pitching, I'm not sure if ANYONE would have been able to hit him.
joe, put down the crack pipe, and notice that Francona has done a hell of a lot more good for this team than bad. Most notably, game 3 of the 2004 ALDS when Papi got a single in the 8th or 9th inning. Now, most managers would pinch run in that situation, but when the game went into extras, Papi came up, and we got the walkoff HR win. Most managers would have taken him out, and he wouldn't have even been able to get that opportunity. I'm so sick of the negativity towards Francona, and yes, I have my moments as well, but we won the WS with him as our manager, whether you like it or not. Francona has my trust, because more times than not, he will do more good than bad for the team.
