On Francona

Terry Francona managed two World Series Championship Boston Red Sox Teams, in the Prior Decade of the 21st Century. He also managed in other postseasons in 2005, 2008 & 2009.
I do recognize that he is "Laissez Faire" in his style. In short, Players realized that they were treated like Responsible Adults.
I liked him. I remember when he managed the Philadelphia Phillies & survived with a team, which was poorly built.
I actually remember him as a curly haired infielder with the Montreal Expos.
He is out as manager of the Boston Red Sox. The Guy took the fall for bad acquisitions & trades.
Hey, Josh Beckett? How was your Pittsburgh Golf Outing? Did it cure your stomach virus? Or was it a practice run for Postseason?
