There is no one else toplay second base if you pinch hit for Cora. That was what I heard Francona say afterwards.

Here's my take on the Red Sox.....the real problem lies in their ego-ccentric GM.....he got all the praise last year for geting lucky IMO.....I have never thought that highly of Epstein.....but it is really just a gut reaction for me.....

What the heck is he worried about a second baseman for,you have to tie it first?
It should have been a walk off win.The man coaches scared.

The man coaches scared.

I don't think he coaches scared as much as he cares way too much about his player's feelings.......he coaches in a way that makes sure his players aren't pissed at him.

However, all that does is make the players even more head strong, and we are starting to see the ramifications of that right now.....Meuller says he will not play second, Millar was pissed off when Olerud came to town, Payton said play me or trade me, etc. etc. etc.

Inmates are running the asylum at Fenway.
