Well the Red Sox finally made Terry Francona one of the top paid managers with a 3-year 12 Million Dollar extenstion and could very well be around until 2013. Well deserved if you ask me! He's had 3 playoff appearances with 2 World Series Champions. The things that have/haven't happened since Tito's been manager you ask?
- I've said the 2 World Series Champs already haven't I?
- No stupid player screw ups. The biggest thing is Manny being Manny and MAYBE Alex Cora with the violating probation back in 1999 and the system just got it? Yeah, no big deal.
- Sticks with his players through the bad times (ie, Mark Bellhorn, Dustin Pedroia)
- Some really good times.
- The cast of players (Julian Taravez, Manny, Mike Lowell, Trot Nixon, Kevin Millar, Dustin, Youk, and so much more to make that clubhouse erupt.)
There's so much more about Tito that we couldn't thank him enough for.
The Red Sox signed Colon as well, but who cares?
Before I leave, here is a quote that is so true.
"He's the only manager I've ever played for up here, but he's the only one I want to play for," said Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who won the American Rookie of the Year Award in 2007.
