I have said all along that it would extremely hypocritical if the Boston Red Sox are blaming the mutiny and unrest within its players on Bobby Valentine. The front office was the one which determined the players were in need of subordination and needed a no-nonsense person in charge. The players choice to undermine Valentine is and has been unacceptable and though it’s very possible, the Boston front office will look stupid if they fire Valentine because players do not want to listen to him.
——————————————————————————–
The reasonable solution has Valentine leaving the Red Sox this season, as one would ask why he would want this job anymore. He always wanted a chance to manage a team with deep pockets, but it certainly has not worked out the way he planned. I still think there is a chance Valentine returns, if he wants. But to this point, it seems he may not want to return next season.

Take Bobby Valentine's word for it -- the Red Sox have not checked out on this season. They had plenty of opportunities to during a nine-game road trip along the Pacific, but even after losing seven in a row, fought back against the Mariners on Tuesday night to stop the bleeding. On Wednesday, they'll turn to Aaron Cook in the hopes of heading back to Boston on a high note...

Even though players have hated him throughout his whole career and he couldn't coach in the Major Leagues for almost a decade, he's kept this persona as some lovable, goofy guy alive. He's goofy because...

You could describe the Red Sox season with many, many words. Bobby Valentine would go with "miserable." The Boston manager was not in a particularly good mood on Wednesday afternoon during his weekly radio interview on The Big Show on WEEI.

New day, same old suck from the hometown team. But I will say this. They didn't go quietly.
The Toronto Blue Jays got out to an early 4-0 lead and then held on to beat the Boston Red Sox 7-5 in front of 37,156 rain-soaked fans. I say that only because there was a one hour and 28 minute rain delay before the game.
It was funny too because the one storm cell that passed over...
