The Curly Haired Boyfriend says Henry's wanted him gone for a couple of years now. He uses instinct too much, not stat driven enough, is the supposed reason, which strikes me as bs. Anyway they have 'till the 8th of October to pick up their option for next year, so we'll know by then.

The Red Sox winning it all in 2004 was in my lifetime one of the grat great sports stories.

I spent a summer in boston in 1999 and grew to love this team.

Tito helped to make that dream in 04 possible. For that I am eternally grateful.

Thank you very much Terry.

What you helped acheive will always remain with me

Safe travels.

That's too bad. I like Tito. He was able to do what no one else was able to do in almost one hundred years, and that's bring a championship (2 no less) to Boston for the Red Sox. I don't know what happened this year with the clubhouse running amok as he always seemed to be in control there in years past, with some difficult guys. Good luck to Tito and thank you for 2004 and 2007. You helped erase a lot of heartbreak, but now it seems that the Red Sox have reverted to their former selves (losing in spectacular and heartaching ways).

AGon was a brilliant acquisition. Carl Crawford, not so much. Drew? At least he played well in a few series but he's way over the hill now. Youkilis went down with injury. Pedroia went down. And who's in right field again? Reddick has to convince me he wasn't a fluke. Scutaro is... mediocre at best. The only bright spot this year was seeing Ellsbury bounce back and blossom into a star. Bard looked unstoppable for a while but inexplicably fell apart.

And Tito, what did he have to work with... Batting Lavarnway 5th in the final game of the season. Really? Were we that desperate for bats? If only we had signed Matt Holliday instead of Crawford, I think this season would have ended on a different note. I have no idea what we're going to do about RF and SS but those needed fixed ASAP. I hope Big Papi will come back for one more because Lavarnway is not even close to ready and we already traded away Lars Anderson.

Oh Tito, yeah that guy. Won two championships. Really it's tough to hang this on him. I just don't think it's fair. He had very little to work with by the time the season wound down. I think Epstein deserves a lot of the blame. Tito had no HOSSES to put on the mound. Our pitching stunk, our lineup was depleted to injuries and there just wasn't enough to hold off the Rays. It's an epic FAIL yes, but this is an organizational fail. Can't put it all on Tito. Thanks for everything you've done man. You were a great skipper while you were here. But it's probably best to part ways now.
