I had a bad feeling this decision was going to blow up in the worst way. It has now.
As for MB, I lost a lot of respect for him when he turned down that contract, pretty much indicating he was going to leave as soon as possible. I even wanted him to fail eventhough it meant to the expense of the Sox. Since they are fighting for the division, I'd like to see him perform. So, obviously, I want him to pitch well now. No matter how well he does from here on out, I won't be happy for him at all, just the team.
