Well, it looks like Valentine's done.

Or maybe not.

In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
No surprise that Cherington would back away from his previous comments.

In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
Being bold, assertive, and walking with "I'm in charge here, bitches" isn't really in his m.o. is it?

In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
And we wouldn't want to hurt Bobby Valentine's feelings or anything.

In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
But here's my two cents...

In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
If Cherington is going "to spend less time on" the managerial search, let's no skimp on the due diligence either.

In a group of Soxaholix, a woman speaks:
Right, of course, Ted, somebody who is saberemetrically inclined is a must...

But we also need to screen for candidates who may have slandered the prophet of Islam.

I think they're just going to stay with Valentine as a "placeholder" manager until 2019 when Billy Beane's contract with the A's is up.

[h.b.]

Yeah, and I think sticking with failure is kinda the new hot thing these days anyway.

[soxinsix]

If failure is the hot thing, lets hurry up and get Lackey signed to an extension.

[Harwich Rich]

Teddy Ballgame's last at bat-now there was(is)a talking head ;O

[Chops]

Sticking with Valentine makes no sense from a business perspective. What would you pay to be manager of the Sox for a series? $5000? $50000? Somebody out there would drop a cool 100 grand to manage a Sox-Yanks series, right?

With a different "fan-ager" for each series, the Sox might be able to pull in $2 to $3 million bucks.

Not only is the revenue stream a welcome addition for the ownership, but the Sox would get an upgrade in terms of commanding respect from the players and statistical acumen.

Can't wait for the headline:
"It's a WRAP."

[Bob]

I wouldn't pay anything to manage the Sox. If CHB ripped me the next day, I'd be indicted on murder charges soon thereafter.

Have a great weekend all. Hopefully we'll have something fun to yak about on Monday.

[Bob]

BTW, nice one, SAC. That'd be a hell of a headline on the back page of the Herald the day after V gets canned.

Hb, dont be down. The red sox have stunk before and will stink again. And we will still be fans, as you will you, only a matter of degree. By recent comments, you seem politically unsatisfied as well. Dont fret. After this election, we will still have a president that roughly half of the country hates. And we will still be fans of the country. I think our presidentiary is kinda like not changing your underwear so much as turning them inside out. After a few turns, the only thing really noticable is that new wet shit feels warm but smells worse than dry shit. And we change again. Have a great weekend!

I'm going out on a limb here, kids. Remember, you read it here 1st - Lackey is gonna win 15 games next year. *This statement is preceded by much bourbon, but I stand by it.

I'd love to finish the season on 69.

[Harwich Rich]

Well,they do blow ;D
