Have you noticed that the 'fire
John Farrell' talk has ratcheted up dramatically in the last few days? Also, do you think it's a coincidence that "backstories" on Farrell are appearing in the columns of various national media writers? You know, things like: "dissension among the players" and "questionable managerial tactics". Don't forget, the Red Sox owners are
masters of the subtle (and sometimes
not so subtle) whispering campaign to get people out of Boston. It's worked for them before—the 'malingering'
Nomar Garciaparra, the 'unstable'
Terry Francona. You get the picture. Could it be happening again with Farrell?
John Henry and his minions can be as ruthless and cunning as Russian Intelligence. Watch out, Johnny Boy!
