Look--you lost your ace to an injury most of the season, and your #2 and #3 starters went free agency. You add Clement, your #2 starter behind him once Schilling is on the shelf is a knuckleballer, which is always a feast or famine situation. He's either unhittable, or he's like a BP pitcher, and your All Star catcher has to ride the pine whenever he starts.. And your bullpen sucks big-time. I think it's a major miracle they're still in first place, personally. And the answer is, fire the manager who brought the first ring in 86 years?
Was it Francona who assembled the staff and bullpen? Or Theo? Would it have taken a rocket scientist to realize that Schilling did major damage to his ankle with his post-season heroics, and have looked for another stud starter as insurance in case he couldn't go? Or thrown more money at Pedro to try to get him to stay, instead of taking the "good riddance" position many took?
Well, thanks for Pedro anyway
The football Giants look like they gonna blow again, so meaningful baseball games in September might help carry the day for a spell
Wish I had a dish so I could catch some of the Pats games
