Francona has soft spot for Yankees
Terry Francona was in such a peaceful mood that he even admitted to liking a Yankee. Well, his adoration was for Joe Torre, a former teammate of Francona's father, Tito. Francona has known Torre since he was 8 years old, and he sounded relieved that Torre is no longer managing the Yankees. When Torre and the Dodgers, the team he is now managing, travel here for a game on Thursday, Francona will not feel awkward about giving him a handshake or a hug. Because of the intensity of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, Francona said he and Torre usually spoke by office phone when the teams met.

The rivalry, while still an intense one, has seemed to become alot more about mutual appreciation. Hank is trying to change that of course but the players really don't seem to carry any hate for each other. I don't even think the Sox players hate A-Rod as much anymore.

Hey metro, trust me when I say that noone likes A-rod around these parts, and the players especially.. Disliking the Yankees is not just a job, it's an adventure. In fact it's a whole way of life. I'm glad to have you guys for that. I know you agree, and maybe we'll talk a lot this season. Once the season begins it'll all seem right again

And we've got a scout named Spanky working for us this year so that's always good.

I hear ya nfl. While my av says Boston Sucks (and I do feel that way) I try not to be a d-bag about it. I actually like talking to level headed Sox fans and seeing what they have to say about things. Maybe I am wrong about the Sox players not hating A-Rod as much, I just thought after '04 and last year it might have subsided things. I would never expect the fans to stop though! Ha!

I like talking to the level headed Boston fans as well. Both of them are pretty good guys.

Terry, its nice that you have a soft spot for Mr. Torre, But don't forget the hatred. You didn't as you came out with this after Joe was sent away....That-a way in keeping with political correctness....

Metro, I just went back to where I left off on yesterdays thread about our scout Spankyboy. Man, that was about the most enjoyable and funny dialogue ever. You dudes seriously outdid yourselves. Funny, funny stuff.

I'm a Yankee fan, and I admit to having a soft spot for Terry Francona. He seems like a decent guy, and it would take a saint to have to put up with the likes of Manny Ramirez and Curt Schilling.
