Now all the supporters of the front office who have mostly said that the manager makes little difference will toot that Francona will lead us all the way.

To me it is a waste of money better spent elsewhere.

Everywhere I read, it says details are being worked out, but it's a done deal.

You are such a little baby Lou for being such an old guy. Poor sport all around. You, Ken M, and Joe Z should all have a good cry together.

This happened way to fast. Must have had a secret handshake before Acta got the boot.

Francona really wanted the job.

At least we know Francona will tolerate a couple of tall cold brewskies in the locker room.

I'll support THAT as a former beer league player who downed brewkies and played until achilles tears in my late 30's starting hitting me with reality of life needs for those I vowed to take care of and provide for.


I'd love to jump up and down and celebrate the New 2013 Cleveland Indians opportunities, but with Shapiro and Antonetti in place, Francona is nothing more than lipstick on a pig.

To Rusty 2 (the sequel):

I have cried enough this year to waste any more tears.

Anyway I have learned over my many years not not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

I might have to go with Scott Radinsky.

BIG falloff in the starting rotation this year under his guidance.

Yeah, too bad Tim Belcher resigned last season.

Maybe Belcher's trouble was with Manny. Francona could do worse.

Good luck Terry. I hope you got a long-term deal so you will make your money no matter how bad your team performs.
