He strikes again.
Sure, our starting pitcher never should have been brought back in the 6th (with no one warming?!?), our "reliever" continued his piss poor performance, and our third and fourth hitters are in the midst of dreadful slumps with RISP.
Still, it's hard to walk away from that game with anything other than a blood boiling rage directed at third base coach Dale Sveum. The Red Sox had five hits and The Big Ugly on the ropes in what could have been a huge momentum-building inning. Enter Dale Sveum and his Parade Of Death from third to home, and instead, the inning ends with Yankee fans on their feet and the scoreboard showing one measly run.
Predictably, Francona publicly backed Sveum last night following the game, just as he did after so many embarassingly bad performances last season. It's clear that the Red Sox don't plan on firing Sveum, or even questioning his decisions, so as a public service, I volunteer to find Dale Sveum's replacement myself. The final call is yours, Tito, but I've done all the legwork. Allow me to introduce you to the Red Sox brand new third base coach.
