Francona is the "anti-Belichick" when it comes to his personality and dealing with the media. Most of their players are either loveable goofballs like Manny, or bland vanilla personalities who never gave anyone a reason to dislike them. Why has the rest of the country seceded from The Nation so quickly?  |
1. Sox fans "travel well", often outnumbering locals and starting with "Let's Go RED SOX" chants.
2. Behind only the MF Yankees in payroll
3. We think Manny's a loveable goofball, they think he's a highpaid hotdog. He and Ortiz pose in the batter's box long after the ball has left the park. (Pedro would have drilled them in the a$$ the next time thru the order)
4. Ortiz and Youk complain after every called strike.
5. Schilling's a know it all.
6. Everybody roots for the lovable loser, once they win, sayonara.
I still love them but I wish they would play like they knew every little league kid is going to imitate their actions
