Breaking news... Bobby Valentine Fired!!!

Sox show no love for Valentine, fire beleaguered manager - Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston

he was far from the cause, but he did little to help


here's hoping he blows up now that he's out.....i'd love to hear some dirty laundry, there's a lot of blame to go around

Say nighty night to any Pats talk for the next month

''Next up on the big show.......what color underwear Bobby V. Was wearing at the time of the firing''

Thanks Ian!

When the Red Sox start winning football games I'll start caring.

Ha, I was thinking about posting the Bobby V. firing here as a joke, but someone did it in all seriousness.

how about changing the thread title to: Red Sox fire Valentine

Valentine fired = good news

Luccino not fired = bad news

worst off season signing

Bobby v for the Sox or Mario williams for the bills?

I thought the story would be that Rex Ryan announced that Tim Tebow would start at QB against the Texans this week.

Valentine's firing is a real shocker! Did Ben Cherington do this on his own? Does Larry Lucchino know about this?

(yawn) thank goodness their season is finally over. It's been unofficially over for months.

I just edited that trick title now.

Re: Breaking news... Bobby Valentine Fired!!!

Compared to last year, this job is not quite the gem it used to be and they may find some guys reluctant to even interview....

Clear the deadwood off the roster and grovel back and ask Francona to come back....How many times did Billy Martin manage the Yankees????

L-S is no joke. I predict the Lady Warriors will be 4-1 after the weekend.

They moved quickly, that is good.. now to hire someone who can right this ship.

IMO every player on this roster is available for trade... put everyone on the block and see what happens..

Has to be better than the clusterfock that we witnessed the past season..

Anxiously looking forward to Sox media arm, The Boston Globe, putting the hit out on Bobby V.
