Seriously? Tito? SERIOUSLY? Soxies, what’s your take on this?
And the Skipper jumps off the ship…
Or… maybe he was PUSHED.
I don’t know what happened. I’m not ready to TALK about what happened. Maybe tomorrow.
I have things to say. Believe me. I have a LOT of things to say. But I’m kind of trying to breathe for a day or so. I’m trying to focus on… something else.
But Tito? Tito gave us two World Series when all the world could give us was a Jimmy Fallon movie and some Yankees puns.
Tito gave us TWO WORLD SERIES. TWO.
And now we’re giving him the axe, the Buckner scapegoat medal and a passive aggressive handshake.
I’m not ready to talk about this. But I’m sure ready to stew over it. I’m ready to stew and stew and stew and hold it all inside like a pressure cooker of bitterness and wit.
When I am ready to talk about this, get ready. It will be like a Papel-bomb. (Except successful. And scary.)

If they let Tito go, it would be a bigger error than the entire 2011 season.
Nooooooooooooooooo! http://newyork.sbnation.com/new-york-yankees/2011/9/30/2460097/joe-torre-terry-francona-boston-red-sox-new-york-yankees
Nooooooooooooooooo!
If I’m Francona, I’m saying “Screw this, I’m outta here.”
All he’s done is win two titles for a team and a fanbase that did nothing but bitch about some “curse” for 80+ years. He’s got nothing left to accomplish in Boston, and when his leadership style is being called into question after his record of success, he can easily say “See ya” and get another job before his footprints out of Boston get cold.
As for the Joe Torre thing, that would be the Dodgers getting revenge for that whole Grady Little fiasco.
JW is right. Apparently the locker room was horrible this year. The pitchers were drinking in the clubhouse on their days off (Lackey). Nobody got alone. Theo assembled a great team ON PAPER. I pin this on Theo and the players.
Now that Francona is headed out of Boston, I hope he is smart enough not to go to the Cubs. Let Theo go to Chicago so his reputation can be destroyed. In my opinion, I think Francona makes a perfect fit for the Nationals.
