All you Francona ball washers out there are turning your anger towards Theo after the collapse and saying it is equally his fault. It's not, Theo gets players and that's where it ends. He doesn't let them get fat and drink in the locker room, he doesn't mismanage a bullpen, he doesn't leave our dead arm starters out there too long, he doesn't mismanage the line up, and he doesn't directly effect the game. Francona did. Theo has made some mistakes in John Lackey, Brad Penny, and John Smoltz and Bobby Jenks. JD Drew signing was fine in my eyes and I'll leave the Crawford alone for now.
If Theo does leave to the Cubs that would absolutely kill the Red Sox, I don't get why John Henry is letting him interview because he will really effect the team. The Yankees thought about getting rid of Cashman and he would be the only acceptable guy to replace Theo is they do infact let him go. Theo has done a lot right in Boston, including getting our home grown talent up and making some awesome trades that directly got us to the World Series (Nomar and Beckett/Lowell).
Leave Theo alone, stop projecting your bitterness of Francona on him. Shut up!
