Jack, many owe you an apology for ripping on you when you said Cleveland and Minnesota have better teams than the Sox. This prediction was before the season started or very early on if I recall.
300iq! Based on the interview, stone also said they live very close to each other (I think he meant his Arizona home) and they get dinner together on occasion.
Ozzie is the perfect coach for this team. They need a guy who will hold them accountable and light a fire under their asses. Ozzie isn't scared (or too tired in Tony's case) to rip into them for the poor effort. What I'd give to have him back.
What makes you think this?
I agree with the second part though. The guy gets plenty of undeserved playing time. I can see that rubbing some players the wrong way. It's like when you're in little league and the coach makes his son a starting pitcher even though he's garbage at it.
