Valentine will be fired as soon as they can arrange it. Maybe tomorrow, maybe Friday.
While getting rid of Gonzalez, Beckett, Crawford, and even Punto seems to have been a good idea, in retrospect trading away Youklis was an error. They need a good first baseman, and he was all of that.
The team is going to look totally different (again!) next year, including the manager.
I had this idea that the Sawx's GM should've walked out of the stands in the seventh inning last night, sent Valentine to the showers, and brought in the bench coach to finish up.
At first, I thought that would be cruel since I didn't know the whole sordid story of the '12 Sawx, but after Bobbie Vee threw the whole coaching staff under the bus yesterday I changed my mind...
...or at least decided cruelty was appropriate under the circumstances. "Use of excessive force in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers has been approved."

Interesting take on the management situation...
Have you noticed the NL West standings? Have you?
Hee hee.

Sigh.
