The Red Sox
Family comments on the Red Sox after October 16, 2003:
My sister Carol:
Right now, the manager is being tarred and feathered in Boston. This even surpasses Buckner's error in 86. What can we say except this is the bottom of the abyss.

My brother Charles

Abyss is right!

Grady's decision is far worse than McNamara's decision to leave Bucker in the game. Now maybe management will be inclined to replace Grady before next spring. The team and the fans deserve someone new at the helm of this exceptionally talented team. For heavens sake, they out slugged the 1927 Yanks and have better than average pitching with a bullpen that 'rose' to the occasion.

My thoughts:
This is the most "horribilus week" of my young life. First, the Packers on Sunday. Then Grady Little. I was screaming at the TV, "Take him out. Pat him on the ass, but take him out." Unfortunately, my TV doesn't broadcast as far as New York. I believe Charlie you are wrong about replacing "Grady before next spring." What (the hell) is so sacred about Friday afternoon? Job psychologists tell us it is better to fire someone late Friday afternoon and get on with a fresh start on Monday. This is beneath the abyss.
