I think Bucky Dent would be a great choice for the job.

Buckner is still out there.

So is Joe Torre.

Word has it that Fisk is working the heavy bag twice a day to get ready should he get the call.
He's also practicing his signature move of choking one guy against the ground while pummelling another guy with the other hand that worked so well against the Yanks.

Last Call should be given before the 7th inning.

the Sox should look somewhere else, personally I would consider Jason Varitek among the candidates

Is he bringing beer and pretzels???

<personally I would consider Jason Varitek among the candidates>

Given what went on in the clubhouse (and perhaps the dugout) I would not consider Jason Varitek at all. You're either the Captain, or you're not. If some players conditioning was lacking Tek should have been riding them until they got the message. The prima donna pitchers should have been brought to heel too. Players out for stats first, ditto.

Once upon a time Tek WAS a leader; signature moment of giving A-Rod what-for. At that time I thought he'd make an excellent manager. Perhaps he still can but I don't see it happening in Boston. Too many players know Tek didn't step up and show that the "C" on his shirt front wasn't just for decoration. If you hang a welcome mat on your back don't be surprised when people take you up on the offer.

heard he taps a mean keg.....

Varitek: 20 years in the minors

Why not Ben Affleck? He might fit into that atmosphere. Or, if you want more of a baseball tradition, Casey Affleck.

WTF? Well I guess if it worked for Belichick abandoning the Jets to return to the Patriots as head coach - why not for Farrell? (just give us Adrian Gonzalez and we'll call it even).

I offically throw Alacran's hat in the ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting the Sox are worried about giving compensation to the Jays, when they CREATED the compensation issue with Theo going to the Cubbies!

As a Yankee fan, I respected both Theo and Tito, and thought that was a heck of a team up there. But the ownership sukz! I mean they're getting as bad as a certain deceased former Yankee owner in some respects...

I also think John Farrel is a good guy.

I have to agree. This team NEEDS the Alacran method!!!

There's a better chance of them re-signing Francona.
