    You had to figure he was going to get attention like that...it's a travesty he was allowed to participate. That appeal to his suspension had to wait until after the all-star break?

    I'm sure Tito planned it that way - image

    By the way, what's up with Torre calling him, and asking him not to use Rivera in the game? Why should he be given special treatment - to keep him rested for the upcoming Boston series? If he didn't want Rivera to pitch, then he should have begged out of the game, like Pedro did.

    As we speak I am on the other line with Joe to ask him.

    Who is Tito? Tito Fuentes?

    So, what did he say? I think that was a very strange move by Torre...

    Tito is Francona, by the way. He is referred to by that nickname a lot in the Boston press.

    I think Torre wanted the best of both worlds - to have his guy there and representing, but not playing.

    You're right, if he didn't want to pitch, he should have stayed home.

    Isn't Terry Francona, Tito Francona's son?

    I agree that about the Rivera issue, what a joke! Some nerve by Torre
    EAMUS CATULI!

    My Auctions
  • Rivera should have pitched innings 2-9 image
  • I hope Boston wins two in a row .

    I was thinking the same thing - how funny would that be! Third inning, Rivera is called from the bullpen - and he stays out there! His arm would probably fall off by the 7th inning, though.

    But, I want him in there when they play the Sox...for obvious reasons. image

    Yes Tito Francona is the father of the current Sox manager.

    Do they really use 'Tito" when reffering to Terry?
