doubleM23 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 He was fired because he got on Williams' s*** list and was blamed for the very next thing that went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 Wasn't he one of William's very good buddies? I don't think KW wanted to fire him, but it happened that way. Not positive on this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 Wouldn't that make many of you guys happy. KW got rid of his cronies and decided to let JM hire the crew. I know some say Boston, but I also know Kimm was brought in because he was Jerry's guy. Maybe KW thought things would go good if he did that, obviously he is mistaken and I can only hope he's learned and is correcting that problem. So far as gm for the sox he's learned: The importance of double checking (Berry, Barry) The Importance of Chemistry (Clayton) The importance of no Spies (Maybe?)
