Thanks for the memories Terry.

A little bit of me died inside. I really liked this dude.

F-U Papelbon.

What goes around comes around. Theo and John Henry did not pay Crawford 21 million a year to be treated like a (fill in the blank yourself).

Tito a good man-Lucchino is a schmuck-i hate the sox -they got what they deserve!

One moment not mentioned … The heartfelt, joyous reaction Tito displayed on the field to Jon Lester after Lester threw a no-hitter, not long after Lester had returned from cancer treatment. The pride and affection he clearly showed at that one-on-one moment is one of my favorite Tito memories.

Thanks for an incredible run, I feel you are the best manager in sox history. Your in game decisions mixed with a knack for dealing with premadonna players and a harsh media were invaluable. I hope the best of luck for you!

Terry is a great manager and person but he worked for idiots who think they know more than him. I hope he manages against the Red Sox and smokes ‘em. Good luck Tito and Red Sox get ready for another 86 year drought.

Family season tix since the early 1970′s. Prior to 2004, I went to 20-30 games per year. After 04, we went to fewer and fewer games. Last season I went to only 2 games. The season opener and Patriots day.

In my close to 40 years of watching this team and supporting the franchise, There wasn’t a more likeable man that I can remember. Even during the worst part (the last 5 weeks) of his tenure, he kept his chin up. Never one to bad mouth anyone at any time. He handled the media perfectly in this town and even when faced with clubhouse turmoil (Nomar, Manny, Dice-K, Youk, the September plague) he didn’t have a bad word to say about anyone.

Now we read that his Managerial style wasn’t in line with John Henry’s supported #’s philosophy, and he’s out. To say nothing of his shielding of the brand, the GM, and it’s players, he’s shown the door.

The protector of the key to Pandora’s box proved in his departure that he is still the best thing that this franchise has ever seen at the helm.

We’re not about to cancel out tickets or stop watching the Sox. However, our allegiance to the owner group has changed dramatically. Our family loved these guys. They delivered! There was a time when we felt like we had a NY payroll with a pure, baseball-Red Sox attitude. But now we just don’t care what these guys do with the franchise.

HEY, JOHN HENRY! This isn’t a portfolio for you to manage. This is simply baseball. At times, a good “baseball” Manager can find hits, saves, holds, and wins by looking into a player’s eyes. Not on an excel spreadsheet.

So long, Tito and thanks for memories. So sorry to you that you’ll have to cut ties and lose many relationships.

Well. I am going to have a hard time liking this team going forward. Past Sox teams were very likeable even when they failed. When you hear that the players were drinking beer in the clubhouse and being poor sports it makes it very tough to like them. It sounds like some of these players are not living in the same world as the rest of us (I know they make crazy money and all). Past teams were likeable. These guys, not so much. The hard part is, that I don’t know which guys were the big problems. So I have no idea who to dislike.

I was very disappointed to see the YouTube video of Big Papi breaking into Tito’s press conference. (Old news but I saw it for the first time today). That just looked bad. I know it’s tough to judge and could have been a harmless thing. It looked bad. And now we know the players were acting like cry babies. Big Papi was always one of my favorites. Sorry Papi, not anymore.

To the players:

You guys make a lot of money to play a game. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Not because you lost the wild card in historic fashion, but because you lost your soul somewhere along the path. From the start of the season I told my Yankee fan pal (Yea, I have a good friend who’s a Yankee fan and it isn’t easy)that this year’s team just seemed off to me. It didn’t develop the identity of past teams. Now, I understand why. Teams need to come together and gel at some point. It’s like battle and you need to pick each other up. Clearly, you guys just don’t get it.

Tito:

There’s no way he could come back! He admitted he lost control of them. There are enough players on this team who are clearly cry babies. These players are not so easy to move. Since Theo shells out big money to just average players. So Tito realized he had to move on. If you can’t control or motivate them, why come back? Take your money and enjoy yourself Tito, You earned it. And to all the people who keep saying Tito was a terrible game manager: What are you talking about? He won an average of 93 games a year! We won two World Series with this guy. He can certainly manage a game. It’s as if your so angry with the way the season ended that you’re looking for someone to blame. Your having a tough time blaming your favorite players, so you blame Tito? The best proof of this guy’s managerial skills was last season, when the Sox had lost so many of their top players (Think Pedroia, Ellsbury, for starters) to injury. Tito kept the team in contention for a long time. He patched together a team and obviously motivated them to perform at a very high level.

John Henry:

I will always be a fan of the Sox. But… I will watch less and less next year because I find your team difficult to like. I think it’s time to shed the kid gloves and move on from Theo. He brought in talent but obviously never considered the player’s demeanor. Now you have one of the most expensive rosters in baseball with no heart. That’s why you need the dirt dogs!!!! You need someone with heart! Someone with character. Of course you can always blame God who clearly liked the Tampa Bay Rays more than the sox. Your players do not take the blame, they do not own up to their shortfall. There’s always someone else to blame and when you can’t find anyone to blame, blame God.

Oh, and John, do you consider your team to still be “All in?”

Tito’s problem is that he is such a good man. That’s why he had to go. As for this ghost of an owner, he should get out of the sport and devote his time to English Soccer.

I like this a website because is this very nice and unbelievable.thank you for the good sharing all the world peoples .

Tremendous issues here. I am very satisfied to see your article. Thanks so much and I’m looking ahead to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?

Thank you for this clear, helpful article. Sometimes we lose sight of a tool’s utility. I also found it amusing how you dislike inactive pages as well as overly-active pages. I guess if corporations are legal entities, it makes sense for them to have personalities and socialize to share it. However, not too much or too little.

What i don’t understood is if truth be told how you’re now not really much more well-liked than you might be right now. You are very intelligent. You know therefore significantly in terms of this topic, produced me in my opinion believe it from numerous various angles. Its like women and men don’t seem to be fascinated until it?s one thing to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your individual stuffs excellent. Always maintain it up!

Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!

A lot is said about the amount Ocho was paid this year, not enough is said about his generosity and charity. I’m proud he is a Patriot….I would LOVE to see more production from him, but Tom is loyal and more reps for Ocho means less reps for Branch…and Branch IS getting the job done, so keep Tommy happy. Hey it’s a three year deal, maybe after an off-season of McDaniels drawing up some new-look plays, the Patriots can make a run at getting back to the dance with Ocho getting some steps.

I’m rooting for Ocho, he’s a good man and good athlete. Look at his career stats; they’re impressive. All year I said he was going to bust out; just wait. Guess I was wrong, but I met an old timer in a bakery today who said he’s going to bust out in the Super Bowl. I don’t think that will happen, but I guess I’m not the only one in his corner.

I’m rooting for him too. BUT, I’m not so sure I want to see the ball going his way on any 3rd downs or important plays in the Super Bowl. I just don’t know. 

Right, it won’t be the important plays. Not at first.  I think if he does play, Bill will put him in to get the Giants looking. But he will let him run decoy. Then, and this is where it gets good, I think we could see him on some crossing routes with peel off action or even a reverse if we can stretch out or beat the d-line and pass rush. Everyone loves the Giants pass rush but what if they are forced to chase the run? How long can these guys last combining that kind of ground game with the hurry up. They aren’t track stars.

Ochocinco was my favorite player that did not wear a New England Patriots Uniform. He’s funny, personable, generous, entertaining, reachable, in tune with his fans, and just an overrall good guy. Yes he’s a bit of a clown. But if the Patriots are lucky enough to hoist Lombardi’s Trophy, he will be an NFL Champion, and he will likely have a new motivation: get back there. It’s a fact – once you taste it, you want more. Sixty Minutes to glory starting Sunday February 5th at 6:30pm.

only thing he has contribruted to the team all year!  what a waste of a roster spot

don”t understand the love fest here man has done zero to help this team.looks like a deer in the headlights all year.

Mark my words!
Ocho will contribute to this team before all is said and done.
I’m rooting for him!

You guys are insane. Who gives a flying f if the stinko is “a good guy”? Are you posters real fans? Do you know the game? This waste is using up a very valuable roster spot and collecting welfare. If stinko puts his superman cape on for the bowl and achieves something, i’ll submit to the dunking pool, otherwise, he’s a pos. Football is also a business, in case you haven’t figured out and Stinko does nothing to help the bottom line. Give me Deon Branch clones any old day; productive, hard worker, CLUTCH, cool, witty and a gentleman added to all that, BUT first and foremost, PRODUCTIVE and not learning disabled.

You’re a tycoon who just bought an nfl franchise. Whatcha gonna do? I know, most Stinko tweet followers would sign 85, Haynesworth and Adalius Thomas in a blockbuster package deal, hey they might even resurrect a retired Terry glenn, he’d be more productive than Chad even with a p#s poor attitude. They all belong in the same grouping for one reason or other. Oh, but i forgot, (85)he’s a non disruptive, good locker room guy who buys toys for his teammates and gets his tweet fans to write positive things about him.

OCho the Stinko’s the secret weapon. Get out your sombrero on the sidelines Stinko, like you use to wear in Cinci.
