===============

I wanna know how much crap was going on inside the Sox upper management and how much it affected the play of the team in the last month. Are you hurting or helping? Part of the problem or part of the solution? The ball is in owner John Henry's court right now.

This team can win their 8th World Series next year if things fall into place. Believe it.
