<DIV>btw, a lot of sox fans feel that way. i don't know who they think is
going to do a better job--francona is taken and joe is one of the best. </DIV>
<DIV>steinbrenner and the current yankees remind me of the sox when the yawkeys
were getting older and more crotchety (if that's possible). the older they got
the more the focus was on "one more world series." the result was disastrous as
the other aspects of the organization suffered badly. steinbrenner isn't as
drastically out of step as the yawkeys were, but man, this looks
familiar.</DIV>
