Bobby Valentine? Really, Red Sox? You are hiring Bobby Valentine? Like... the guy who ran the pot smoking Mets team? Really? The guy who let all star players stay in the locker room playing cards during a playoff elimination game? Really? The guy who, after getting thrown out of a game by an umpire, put on a fake mustache and snuck back into the dugout?
That clown is going to be the new manager of the Boston Red Sox?
Really? You're not just messing with us, are you?
How in the name of Ted Williams does this change anything? You just had a player-friendly manager oversee the biggest September collapse in over 100 years of major league baseball, and now you're bringing in some one who is even more of a player-friendly manager? Even worse, he's one of those guys who always spouts off to the press. He's good for a sound byte, not for righting the Red Sox ship. Just wait until the first time he throws Josh Beckett under the bus. He'll be throwing 85 mph fastballs right down the middle to every hitter he faces. Do you think Pedroia and Youkilis are going to stand for that type of crap? Especially after all the years playing for a manager who went out of his way never to publicly criticize his players?
They need someone who will rule the locker room with an iron fist but keep it all behind closed doors. They don't need a clown like Bobby Valentine who will let them run amok and them publicly slam them when they have a tough day at work.
This is a really bad move.
