Who Should Get the Heave?

As much as I hate, and I stress HATE Bobby Valentine, I am sad to say that I don't feel like this debacle of season for the Red Sox is his fault. The seemingly we don't give a crap attitude didn't start under his watch, but is a continuation of the "Chicken and Beer" club that went on last season. So last year things get a little too wild, it was fine to be "idiots" when the team wins its first world championship in almost 90 years, but as the years between championships start to distance themselves again, it seems it must be time to tone down the stupidity. Managers can make a major difference in every game, but they cannot make the players make the plays. If Bobby Valentine or any manager make a bad pitching change or defensive alignment so be it. It might cost you a game or two a season. The players playing like hogs isn't the managers fault. Perhaps the team should man up instead of being like elementary school students crying to the principle because the teacher is mean. "He doesn't let us listen to our music loud, and said we can't have chicken", say the whining little kids. Bobby V has not brought the law and order feel that ownership seemed to have in mind, but when you turn over the asylum to the inmates one man isn't going to change things overnight. I would usually wish for him to be fired, but in this one situation I almost feel bad for him...almost. Sometimes people get what they deserve, all the attention he always tries to gain for himself, has come back on him full circle. But to blame him for this season is insane. Perhaps its time to drop some of the players, move on from the early 2000's and look towards a future, even one with Bobby V.
