I think the Sox blew it mainly by how, or the manner in which, they offered the money, yeah it was 1.5 eventually, but it started wayyy lower, then got over a mil, then finally hit 1.5. All this after finally winning the series and also while Theo knew they offered 2.5 to Billy in 2002 (even though he ended up joining Oakland), and then Theo got the job for 335-350,000. I agree about the timing of sundays Shanghnessy article wasnt good, and it came totally from Luccino's viewpoint.
