I am in total agreement with MikeP and TDF....not to mention the lions share of our remaining games will be at home to end the season. It is a miracle that we are in first place with all that has gone on and I give Francona all the credit because he deserves it. Bigcat...you think the only reason we won last year was because Francona rode on the arms of Schilling and Pedro......so what else was he supposed to do as a manager with 2 of baseballs premier pitchers on the staff? That was the master plan when the team was assembled going into last season.....to build a winner and ride those top quality arms.....Francona happened to be the beneficial manager.....we have had many great teams before and nobody could get us to the promised land.....Francona did and he is a guy I will give more than a few passes to because I believe he is doing as good a job as anyone could do given the status of the pen, the starting staff and the team as a whole! They are in first place and to be honest....the Yankees do have a great team who should be playing light years better than they are and are not!
At no time during this post did my blood pressure go up!
