Low-life BoSox finding out karma is truly a bi**h!

The Boston Red Sox are finding out about
 karma after doing former manager Terry Francona
wrong  following last season's epic collapse.

As a longtime Boston Red Sox follower (I’m a Phillies fan first and foremost) I’ve got to say that it bothered me to no end to see how the formerly floundering franchise, which hadn’t won a World Series title in 86 years prior to 2004, treated former manager Terry Francona following last season’s epic collapse.

After trying to blame everything that went wrong last season almost exclusively on the easy-going Francona, the Red Sox front office and owner John Henry are finding out that karma really is a b**ch!

First the team started off the season by losing its first three games and five of six to send Red Sox Nation faithful into a virtual panic. Then, after taking three straight from the Tampa Bay Rays new manager Bobby Valentine had to go and open his big mouth.

Already not mostly liked manager in MLB history, Valentine ripped beloved BoSox veteran Kevin Youkilis by questioning his commitment to the team and the game of baseball in general this season, thereby adding to the already existing gap of distrust among Valentine and his newly acquired players.

I know it’s very early in the Bobby Valentine-post Terry Francona era, but I have a real sense of dread about how things are going to turn out for the BoSox and Valentine in the short-term future.

Impending doom or not, Eye On Sports says the Bosox franchise deserves some real humility after doing my man Terry Francona wrong following his highly successful tenure with the club – and I think maybe a three-year postseason-less span will suffice just fine!

Rolling on the River!

The Philadelphia Phillies resigned longtime franchise shortstop Jimmy Rollins to a three-year, $33 million dollar deal that will likely keep him with the only franchise he’s ever known throughout the end of his career.

It’s nice to see the Phils take care of Rollins before the offseason lingered on and this became a huge distraction to what will once again be the leading title contender in the National League come 2012.

J-Roll, Phillies Need to Get it Right!

Philadelphia Phillies MVP-winning shortstop Jimmy Rollins wants a five-year deal with the team he helped win the 2008 MLB World Series. However, Rollins, now 33-years-old, clearly isn’t the player he used to be as he approaches the twilight years of his career.

Rollins’s numbers had been in decline until this past season, but the still-exceptional defensive shortstop has been a fixture for the Phillies and is a borderline Hall of Fame candidate at this point of his career.

Rollins will likely become the Phillies all-time hits leader if he stays with the ballclub that gave him his start, making this decision to stay together a no-brainer that really needs to get done sooner rather than later.
