No, I think Francona is doing a very good over all job, but some of the clutch decisions he has made have really been lousy......example, That game last Sunday, the Schilling game. Schilling goes 5 2/3 innings perfect ball.....Sox have a big inning and while they are batting, Scilling gets stiff sitting there, which is normal. Schilling comes in, gives up a few runs and with two out in the 8th inning, and the likelihood that the game could get tied up due to men in scoring position, Francona brings in Foulke.....now at this point, I am thinking.....bad move. He already brought in Embry for what, one batter???? Why not bring in Timlin, better yet.....why not leave Embry in for at least another batter cause if they tie the game up, we are looking at extra-innings and after Foulke.....you are starting to look kind of lean in the bullpen, should the game go 13-14 innings? Personally, at the very least, I would have saved Foulke for the ninth inning and let someone else mop up the eighth! Then he left Lowe in to get shelled the other day and Arroyo was left in too long last night!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
