I Do Not Like The Valentine Hiring:
I do not get why the Sox hired Bobby Valentine or the general fascination with him; He has managed for 15 years and only made 1 World Series and he oversaw a blow up of the Mets in 2002 that was just as bad in terms of players quitting as the Sox this year. What made Tito work well hear for so long was his steadfastness. Valentine will create needless controversy and be a self promoter a la Kevin Kennedy. he invented the sandwich wrap, you know) He will make the job of Boston Sports writers easier, but the team worse. I would have rather had Joey Cora, Sandy Alomar Jr, Tony Pena, Mike Maddux ( I know he dropped out) , or Dave Martinez.
