Unfortunately, regardless of the fact that he won the Championship last season....McKeon is too old! As far as Burleson goes.....where have you been watching him manage? At the minor league level? A whole different "League" in the majors....and you are dealing with entirely different personalities.....overpaid, spoiled, molly-coddled idiots! For years the biggest deficiecy this club has had has not been hitting, or pitching, or defense, or the bullpen....it has been in the managers position my friend! And the sooner they address this shortfall the better off they will be! Another guy they were considering was Glen Hoffman.....Hoffman.....another loser! I am sick and tired of training these "new" managers here......how many of the last ten managers the Sox have had have gone on to manage other clubs???? My off the top of my head guess is two.....Jimy Williams (forgot to mention him in my last diatribe) and Kevin.....whats his name that does TV sports now.....Grady Little(nope) Joe Morgan (nope) John McNamara (nope) Butch Hobson (nope) Jimy Williams just got canned again and I can guarantee you will not see him manage again, anywhere....cept' maybe where ever Montreal winds up! Don't you see the continueing pattern there? Sorry, I think Zimmer was the last decent manager the sox have had.....he went on to take the Cubs to the League Championship series anyway....what have any of the others gone on to do???? Houk.....retired.....Hobson....jail.....Morgan.... Walpole pickin' potatoes and tomatos.....McNamara....retired.....Little....litt le else!!!!!
