I think the Sox blew it mainly by how, or the manner in which, they offered the money, yeah it was 1.5 eventually, but it started wayyy lower, then got over a mil, then finally hit 1.5. All this after finally winning the series and also while Theo knew they offered 2.5 to Billy in 2002 (even though he ended up joining Oakland), and then Theo got the job for 335-350,000. I agree about the timing of sundays Shanghnessy article wasnt good, and it came totally from Luccino's viewpoint.

Not a very smart move on the sox's part. We will have to wait and see how it all plays out but stupid to let him walk in my opinion.

Not very smart indeed! Considering the Sox let his assistant walk to the GM job in Arizona last week.
Theo's assistant may have taken over or at least helped in the transition.

Looks like he just wanted a change. To do what was best for him. Can't fault him or anyone else for that. Does it suck? You bet he will be missed. Could it have been avoided, maybe, but it is done and time to move on. P.
