I have taken this year off from really caring about the Sox....got the Championship last year and felt I owed it to myself after 40 years of nada to really not care if they make the playoffs or go belly up in August! I have been watching some games and of course I want them to do well, but I am not getting my blood pressure up this season at all. I also think Francona deserves the benefit of a couple of hundred doubts.....the guy brought us a World Series Championship and if you don't think that earns you a little carte' blanche'.......you could not be more foolish!
