I'll give Robertson one thing, he admitted he was lousy and when Bruce Levine tried to give him an out (i.e. excuse) saying 'but you pitched three times in 15 hours' Roberston said it didn't matter.
So Levine tried again by asking 'have you ever pitched three times in 15 hours' and Robertson immediately cut him off saying it didn't matter he's got a job to do.
While I admire guys standing up and taking the blame when they suck, the bottom line is these guys have been sucking a lot, and it doesn't seem to matter who the Sox sign, trade for whatever...there's something about the organization in general that seems to 'promote' for lack of a better word failure. It gets old. All the more reason a purging is desperately needed starting with the baseball side of the front office.

Agreed. Hell, Billy Koch consistently admitted it was on him, he sucked, and quit making excuses. I really wanted Koch to succeed partially because of his attitude like that. But at the end of the day, saying its your fault is one thing, changing the result is another. We have no place for DRob on a team at this point, that needs to be real with itself, and start a rebuild.
