it is about time the upper management realizes that francona couldn't manage a little league team. give me the players he has had to work with and i could start a dynasty. francona knows nothing about his pitching staff and he has even less knowledge of a batting order. he doesn't know when to hit and run and he sure doesn't know when to send a runner to steal. no wonder phillie hates him. i say send him back there. francona is the one that needs to go. i have never disliked a manager as much as i do him
