Over The Edge

Has Boston totally lost their minds?  I guess the worst September collapse in baseball history might do that to you. The one thing that is guaranteed when you hire Bobby V is that it will never be dull. Controversial, obnoxious, contentous, carnival-like, and yes, sometimes entertaining, but never dull. If Valentine is such a baseball Genius, how come he has been basically blackballed from MLB for so long?  Simple . . . he's an A--hole.  Nobody can be that good a manager and interview for as many jobs as he has, but not be hired.  Nobody wants to take the risk.  And here come the Red Sox, desperate to take the limelight off their September collapse and away from the frat house that substituted for their clubhouse.   And what better way to do it than start a new Circus?  That's what they've done . . . Of all places to insert a dysfunctional and controversial sports figure, Boston's dysfunctional circus like locker room would have to be the worst place.  One thing's for sure, it won't be boring, and Boston is always a threat to win it all as they have enough talent (maybe) and usually they are tough to beat.   Maybe the V man is the answer . . . he can manage well when he's not being crazy and maybe the players will respond to him.  But if you ask me, it's like putting Nitro Glycerin on a roller coaster . . . it's just a matter of time.
