MELVIN IN BOSTON????
Sit down, guys and gals, because Blow-Mel is staying in Seattle.
The Red Sox contacted the Mariners to see if they could interview Blow-Mel for their vacant managerial position. Not surprisingly, the M's said no.
Oh man, could you imagine Blow-Mel in Boston? It would be hysterical. After Manny Ramirez flies out to end a close ballgame at Fenway Park, the media will be there to crucify Melvin and he would still suck on his root beer barrels, saying, "hey, Fenway is a great place to watch a game. We'll get em' next time."
So now it looks like the Red Sox will hire former Phillies manager and current A's bench coach Terry Francona. He's interviewed with the Red Sox twice, and is their leading candidate. Francona is a retread, plain and simple. He sucked in Philly, and what makes the Red Sox think that he's going to do well in Boston?
But man, just reading the headline "Boston shows interest in Melvin" got my hopes up for about 3 seconds. Then sadly, the reality train rolled in.
Don't expect the Mariners to do much between now and the end of the month, because of Thanksgiving and all that jazz. But they should release their 2004 schedule pretty damn soon.
