Only the Red Sox of 2011 could make news by
not making a decision. According to the Herald, the team has 'officially' confirmed (though an un-named team source) that
the managerial field really is down to two—Bobby Valentine and Gene Lamont. Well, I guess it
is news for the now jettisoned Torey Lovullo. Oh, and by the way, the "source" says they'll likely make the choice between the two 60-somethings "towards the end of this week". What's the rush, right?
