Francona is out.

What a bunch of idiots.

the reason that the Red Sox hadn't won the World Series since 1918- this was pre- 2004- was not because they sold off Babe Ruth. It was because of poor management.

to being his bench coach.

Come to St. Louis and win a couple rings with the best first baseman ever after he resigns and La Russa retires.

That's the most logical place right now.

I bet Ken Williams is glad to have the Ozzie Guillen sideshow gone- I know I would be.

where does he go? i've always enjoyed him.<div>watching sports center earlier, i think it was peter gammonds, but someone said that the sox may be the only team that could lure larussa away. personally don't see that being a good fit. he could turn the pitching staff around for sure but there are too many 'stars' that he would have to deal with in that club house.</div>

interesting that with all of the huge red sox fans on here, they have no comment.

if that happens. He's very active in the community in St. Louis.

If LaRussa left for the White Sox, Francona would probably end up with the Cardinals. I would be OK with that.

LaRussa can deal with stars- or they will be traded away.

What's kind of funny about LaRussa and the White Sox- he was fired by Hawk Harrelson- the guy that does the White Sox play by play. He was the GM for a year, and nearly ruined the team. Also, when the White Sox hired LaRussa, he replaced Don Kessinger, who later would be the baseball coach at Ole Miss. I think the A's hired LaRussa something like three weeks later.
