How come when the Sox lose (i.e. Grady Little) its the Managers Fault but when they win its in "Spite" of the manager. Give the guy some credit, he took them where no one else has in the past 86 years.
When the dust settles at the end of the season, if the sox don't make the play-offs, then rip away. I just don't see how you can rip a guy apart for having his team in 1st place at the all-star break.
Don't forget too that he did this while playing the most games on the road of any MLB team in the 1st half.
