In mourning here.

Adios,Tito.

My husband and I (and many Red Sox friends) are saddened and stunned about Tito's departure as well, Mears.

However, there are reports all over the media that Tito was apparently unable to control several of the "elite" Red Sox players in the club house this year. Supposedly pitchers like Beckett were drinking beer during games that they weren't pitching. That's a firing offense, if true.

I don't know what to believe. I'll always be a Dustin Pedroia fan, though. :-)

Excellent article here (IMO) by Peter Abraham, Boston Globe:

Some random thoughts on the Red Sox (10/1/11)

I thought I heard the “starters” were relief pitchers for this outing as I was getting a beer, as I was typing this they said it again. What that means for pitchers of record I don’t know.

I thought TF was a cool cat. OOOH horrors drinking a cold one in a baseball game. No one ever did that before...

Verlander pitched 1 inning before the game was called last night.

LOL. As I said above, I don't know what to believe anymore. I'm sure we just lost one of the best managers in baseball, though, and that's really unfortunate.

Freegards, God Bless America!

FReegards and God Bless America to you as well! :-)

Nice win by the Texas Rangers tonight! I really like both the Rays and Rangers... I hope the ALDS is stretched out for the full five games, and one of these two teams ends up winning the World Series...

Effin' Yankees up 8-1 in the 7th...

Its only game one. Tampa stomped the rangers last night.

Kinda hoping for a full series to avoid too much time off. In 06, the Tigers beat the Yankees so fast that they ended up with a 12 day break before the world series and I think it hurt them.

Nutmeg,I devoured The Globe this A.M. and read Abraham’s terrific column.Front page stuff,no less.

Tito lost control of the clubhouse apparently, and Henry was ready to get rid of him anyway.One of the articles said that Henry wants a “Moneyball” team.Pretty funny.

Yep,Pedroia is awesome but I still have my Mike Lowell “shrine” and tee. He was my fave in recent years,along with Youk.

Wait ‘til next year !!!!! Sound familiar?

Maybe he’s letting it grow like The Bruins grew lucky beards this year.

I know I don’t understand it. Two rings, 2004 was epic. And I’m a yank fan, but I always check out Wake just because I love the flutterball. If TF goes to the other sox look out AL.

Is he your MVP? I’m fine with a pitcher, and he had a doozy of a year.

Cano is tearing it the hell up.

Time to logoff and read a good murder mystery to cheer me up. :-)

Buenas noches.

Verlander is in competition with Miguel Cabrera for MVP but Cabrera says he would vote for verlander.

They’re going to name an award after Verlander some day. Aside from his no hitter this year he went 8 innings with no hits twice this year.

He’s going to be around for a long time.

That’s it for Nova. Never went 9 yet and couldn’t in this game in any case, but the kid did really good.
