Oh how we quickly forget. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Why would we bring back a guy who lost control of a team? Someone who didn’t know when to take out a pitcher? Don't you remember how we joked about the seven run rule? How we call him Terry Frankcoma?
There is a reason why they brought Bobby Valentine to Boston. They needed a manager who can gain control over bunch of overpaid, overweight athletes. In my opinion, he's done just that. He started by calling out Youkilis. Although, it wasn’t popular, it was the right call. His heart wasn't in the game! He probably should have suspended Pedroia for speaking out against him when he said those things about Youkilis. Just recently he suspended Aviles for being a complete and utter douche bag. They've also made some inroads to turning this team around by getting rid of one of the cancers, Josh Beckett.
There's obviously going to be some fight back from the players. The only way to manage this team is to not break and bring in a softy of a manager. But, to continue on the path they are going. Continue to tell these spoiled brats that they're not going to take it anymore and if you don't like it you can pack your bags. Let's bring the Patriot way to Yawkey Way!
