Tito and Theo should have never been let go. IMO, that was a 'panic' move by Henry, much like letting Cherington go was.
Also IMO, Beckett got a terrible rap as being the bad seed. Had the team not collapsed, the whole chicken and beer fiasco would have been viewed as a positive rather than a negative, a kind of bonding thing among the pitchers. As it was, it was blown way out of proportion.
