Letto l'articolo, nche io erano anni che non lo leggevo piu..... Joe cosa mi fai fare....
Comunque, a me sembra che se la prenda principalmente con Theo, praticamente addossandogli ogni colpa, dalla stanchezza di Dice-K allo slump di Pedroia. Oddio anche dando credito a Duquette per il 2004.
Theo Epstein is in for his share of finger-pointing if the Sox are eliminated by the Tribe. It's never a good thing when your $143 million payroll bites the dust against a team with a $61 million payroll. Dan Duquette assembled half of the 2004 champs, but what we are looking at today is almost exclusively Theo's team and it's his most recent acquisitions who have been exposed thus far in October.
Certainly, John Henry expected he was buying a pitcher who could finish five innings of a playoff game when he committed $103 million to Matsuzaka. Julio Lugo (.208) and J.D. Drew (.231) continue to be a drag on the lineup and the payroll. And then there's Coco Crisp (.192), who looks more and more like a man who's going to be traded this winter. Organization poster boy Dustin Pedroia is hitting .172 against the Tribe. Manny Delcarman is 0-2 in important situations in the ALCS, and Eric Gagné has replaced Grady Little as He Who Must Not Be Named.
Pero mi sembra che con Francona sia un po piu cauto:
At this hour, however, it's the manager who's taking a beating throughout the Nation. Even though it might have been a baseball ops decision, Terry Francona will be the one blamed for not pitching Beckett in Game 4.
lasciando intendere che forse non sia proprio tutta colpa sua. E poi mentre prima parlava in prima pesona, adesso sono i fans ad avercela con Tito,
Failing to address the Wakefield issue after the Game 2 disaster is only part of the story. It's Tito's inaction with the lineup that has many fans fuming.
Lui non sembra scoprirsi mai,

Oh e il titolo si riferiva and un vecchio articolo del 2004.
