Maybe I'm different than most Yankee fans, but I have a little bit of pitty for the Sox. Having lived in Boston (2 blocks from Fenway) for so long and having met a couple of the players, I felt bad watching the Sox get murdered tonight.
I have no qualms about people running their mouths after this win since I am well aware that had the tables been reversed, the endless Yankee bashing posts would have been unbearable. I just chose not to partake I guess.
But watching Francona during the post game press conference was HARD. He looked like he wanted to cry. And I feel bad for him because the owners and fans are going to throw him under the bus just like they did with Grady. And it's really unfair. Francona is a good manager and should be given another year or two to cultivate his team.
But he won't be. And that is why the Sox will not win anytime soon. They have the wrong mentality. They have the "Go Big or Go Home" mentality which puts too much pressure on the players and coaches.
