  • interesting thought on Red Sox winning it all

    Philly E-mail No. 3 is less amusing and more immediate. Gabe from Philly is concerned that the unfolding events in the baseball playoffs portend dark things for the City of Brotherly Love. Gabe's worry: Terry Francona's Red Sox steaming towards a curse-busting title. "Francona toiled here for a few seasons of complete mediocrity," Gabe wrote, "highlighted only by tremendous feats of stupidity. Francona held no sway in the clubhouse. None. When he was hired by the Red Sox before this season, he referred to the job as getting a mulligan for his time in Philly. So you can imagine the disdain that this city has for Tito. I can't think of anything going on in the sports world right now that would be more upsetting to the Philly faithful than to see Francona win a World Series. That is why it is a stone cold lock. Every Philly sports fan will puke in his/her lunch if Francona wins. It would figure that, in all the years since the Sox last won a title, that it would be Terry Francona who comes in and wins it. Throw in our old ace, Schilling, carrying the load and it makes it even worse. Now we've got the pinnacle of sickness-inducing sports moments for Philly staring us right in the face."
