Bond's gun spoke once....
Enjoying the last two weeks
Sweeping the O's would solidify my faith in them regaining the top spot in June.
checkin into the RedSox Coli Thread........and I feel the same...and honestly like Mike Holly said on the radio today, this team looks like a 81-81 record team, and if they make the postseason or wins more than 90 games, Bobby V should def be in contention, and possibly win, manager of the year. Regardless of how you feel bout him (I Know KOB hates dude) he should get his props if they finish this year in the playoffs....

Yes he should get manager of the year if a team with a 150 million dollar payroll wins 90 games...
Yea im not ready to give him any awards yet but im still neutral on dude. He makes some head scratching moves but I like his attitude overall
We'll see. June is really gonna tell us how good this team is. If they are still at .500 come all star break it could be a wrap

Ortiz is a better manager then Valentine, he is the de facto leader. Ortiz called out the pitchers in that player only meeting. Since that meeting sox are on fire.
Valentine was hired because they wanted him to control the clubhouse. He is there to call out the pitchers and whip them back in order, thats why Francona was fired, he didn't do that stuff. So what is Valentine doing that is so different?
Yea very true. I dont know I like to keep an open mind for a season at least but if they are 
by all star break im gonna be pissed. No reason to miss a wild card spot this year with the talent and payroll we have. And its gonna fall on bobby v

I don't hate on anyone keeping an open mind, I just hate the decisions that were made.
The team collapses because of deep issues.
They fire the best manager this organization has ever had, and smear his reputation on the way out because of a clubhouse that has lost control. In my opinion, trying to cure cancer with Nyquil.
They don't fix the actual issue, in the clubhouse (unless you count eliminating beer, whoop di do).
There are no good candidates for manager.
They end up scrapping a months work of hiring for one guy they have a boner on.
That boner hasn't managed in MLB in 10 years, and in my opinion, it shows.
The cancer still exists

nice job bobby...
On point. No reason to fire Terry. They did it because they needed a scapegoat and god forbid they hold any of the pitchers accountable. I wasnt comfortable with any of the candidates either. Either they had no experience or they were
Its sad man. We went from
status as an orginization to a high payroll talent filled team that doesnt give a shyt and underperforms. fukk

Still early breh. It's obvious that he hasn't gained much rapport with the team. You can see it in their interactions. I'm hoping that changes sooner than later, so he can do like you said.

Ortiz went off on the media/front office. The media is just as bad as these fat arrogant mother fukkers in the club house.
But if he's mad about his contract, tell me what team is giving 14 mil to a DH? That is what irks me...
