Maybe that's some form of strange progress; perhaps in the next 3 years they will get everyone moving in the same direction.
Francona seems like a nice guy.I think there are more important faces that the team needs...that being players.Competent players.Signing a guy who no one else wanted and who had no spring training....this must stop.

One good sign today is that instead of focusing on stopping the run or the pass, they decided to focus on neither so they were able to stop nothing. To be fair their best run defender, Jackson was hurt most of the game and their best pass defender, Haden has missed 4 straight games. That really helps nothing. They are competetive for chunks of games but never for a whole game, I guess that's part of being the youngest team in the NFL. You would think they can compete with Cincy next week, but I think they'll figure out a way to lose. They do get Haden back which should help pass defense.
