This just in from the Red Sox medical staff. They announced that at this time of the year --after approximately one-quarter of the season- there is a common phenomenon that occurs with some managers. They frequently go through a "dread brain" period. The medical staff has diagnosed Tito with this syndrome. He will have to ride it out. They recommend a diet with plenty of fish, anti-oxidant foods, and plenty of rest (which he can get during the games). He should be back to his standard managerial stupidity in about 10 days to 2 weeks. He'll be right back on par with Maddon and Girardi in no time said the team doctor. In the meantime, the team will have to rely more heavily on the bench coach.
