They've been ready to fire him since day one.........


One of the dumbest hires ever...........

I'm beginning to really like Bobby Valentine

It won't make a difference!

IMO, he's already quit. Some of the moves he's made in the last few days reek of a man trying to get fired.

The players knew that Valentine was close to the bottom of the managers management wanted. To me it was like hiring Casey Stengel Jr. They should have hired , and will end up hiring, somebody that won't be headline material himself everyday.

So...they may fire him, but may not.

Cool story.

If they fire him, it would show they know nothing about baseball. Valentine is great with younger teams, get rid of the rest of the dead weight. They shouldn't have never hired him in the first place, shows they don't pay attention.

Larry Lucchino is the one who hired him and he is for certain an idiot.

To be fair, Larry is one of the best executives in the game running the daily operations of a baseball club. He was very instrumental in the refurbishing of Fenway Park and making the team a lot of money in the process. That's where Larry shines.

Larry's problems begin when he starts getting involved in decisions regarding players, coaches or managers. Those decisions need to be left to a baseball man, which Larry is not, although he thinks he is.

Amazing. The Red Sox have gone from the best team in baseball in April 2011, or so I thought, to whatever you want to call this mess. Not sure I've seen a team this good implode this fast in any sport.

Did you see their roster?

Not4Nutten but Larry Luciano has another World Series Ring with Baltimore, a Super Bowl Ring with Da Redskins, and a Final Four Patch! That's what I see!
