Alex Cora's reign as Red Sox manager is over, and Shank's not entirely happy about it:

It wasn’t Alex Cora’s fault the Red Sox roster stinks, and he shouldn’t have been fired over it

There you go.

The Saturday Night Massacre.

Settling All Family Business.

Officially speaking, the Red Sox are a clown show. They are the Chuck Sullivan-Clive Rush Boston Patriots. They are the San Diego Clippers under Donald Sterling. They are the 21st-century New York Jets.

Where to start?

The Sox fired pretty much everybody last night while the team was in Baltimore, basking in the afterglow of a 17-1 victory over the Orioles — sort of like that dark day in ’65 when they fired their GM on the day that young Dave Morehead pitched a no-hitter. It turns out that Fenway fans chanting, “Sell the team,” and a 10-17 start were too much for owner John Henry and president of baseball ops Craig Breslow to bear.

He was fied in large part because his heart was no longer into the job.
