aboz56 Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/reds...t_little_going/ Here's the most laughable part folks. "So let the speculation begin. Will it be Glenn Hoffman, Bruce Bochy, or Jerry Manuel? Or will someone else win the right to keep a clubhouse full of free agents and free spirits focused on winning? Whoever this man is, he had better be tough. There is a strong feeling around New England that one thing kept the Sox from the World Series this year. And that one thing was a competent manager." I used to respect Holley a lot from Around the Horn and reading his columns from time to time. But JM as a candidate for the Red Sox? Come on Michael.

SuperSteve Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 They must be pretty desperate. Or maybe they want someone with JM's great bullpen managing abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe Holley used to work in Chicago and happens to like JM and wanted to put his name in there??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsSuck1 Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Oh man, Micheal Holley.. what a weirdo he looks like a 12 year old, and hes not the sharpest crayon in the box either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFanForever Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Manuel and competent manager in the same sentence. Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Or maybe Holley used to work in Chicago and happens to like JM and wanted to put his name in there??? Yeah, he was here for about a month working for the Trib, and he was ran out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 I don't think JM was that bad. We could have done a lot worse, like Terry Bevington who was a disaster. If we are not careful we could hire somebody totally incompetent. The Royals went through several rubes before landing Pena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are not careful we could hire somebody totally incompetent. The Royals went through several rubes before landing Pena. Gotta disagree with you greg. Manuel was terrible. He can't manage a bullpen to save his life, can't motivate a team, can't keep a level-head in times when we need it, can't get up and defend our team when we need it, and apparently he can't motivate teams either. We'll just pretend that Terry Bevington never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Michael Holley reminds me of Serena Williams if you drained all the liquid out of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastime Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Well, no one knows how to yank a starter in the most inopportune time than Sleepy Manuel, so maybe that's why he's mentioned. He would have yanked Pedro in the 5th inning of Game 7, and the Red Sox probably would have won. There's your reasoning right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wanted him to get mad and get tossed - so he did it - and we b**** that it was at a bad time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elcaballo45 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Manuel is definitly the guy you want to save Boston's bullpen problems.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
