  1. He wouldn't have pulled this crap in 2004 ... he's getting too cushy.

    Time for Tito to go!

  1. Good for him...he has his priorities in order. The Sox are such a good team that even The Gerbil or He Who Should Not Be Named could managed them. Congrats to Terry and his family.

  1. "Time for Tito to go.?"
    Please tell me that was supposed to be a joke.
    This guy will get stabbed in the back many times before he goes, it is just the way.
    But his time is not up yet.
    He does have his priorities in order.

  1. southshoreasley is absolutly ridiculous......Family comes first and it is June not September or October. He should be at his daughter's graduation. Haven't you ever taken a day off to do something personal??? Get a grip! 2 World Series in 4 years and he needs to go???? Are you serious.......It took 86 years for someone to lead them to a World Series Title......and you want to fire him....maybe you need to leave Red Sox nation and get a life.

    actually, if you arent aware he missed a game on 2005 to go to his other daughter's high school graduation. other coaches have done this too not just tito, so its not a big deal

  1. I guess "southshoreashley" doesn't have any kid's, if she does they are not too important.
    Congrats to Leah and best of luck in your future endearments.

  1. Some day "southshoreashley" will be a parent (if s/he isn't already) and recognize that there are things more important in life than your job. I am delighted that Terry Francona is setting the right example for Red Sox Nation and all working Americans. Your kids come first. He will be Sunday exactly where he should be.
