I did not at all see this as throwing Tito under the bus, but rather saying it was poor playing, not poor management or poor conditioning or overeating or beer that caused the problems.<br /><br />Of course, that doesn't explain why the team suddenly wasn't playing well. But I did not read Tek's comments as attacking anyone, including Francona. Perhaps his tone of voice would indicate otherwise.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-69164365784726557442011-10-19T06:24:15.928-07:002011-10-19T06:24:15.928-07:00If they were drinking Bud Light then I think it...If they were drinking Bud Light then I think it's technically accurate to say that no one drank beer in the dugout...!Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08544047015325046422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-39486718768583275412011-10-19T06:04:38.764-07:002011-10-19T06:04:38.764-07:00It's time to replace "Sweet Caroline"...<i>It's time to replace "Sweet Caroline".</i><br /><br />First good laugh I've had over this stuff.

(For some reason I found this amusing. I picture him like a little kid pretending the madness back in Boston isn't even on his radar. He can't hear any of it. Trying to make people think he's been in a duck blind since the end of the season, cut off from civilization, all stoic, all above responding to the indignities. Until finally this dugout story pushes him into breaking his ruse.
