Francona rips Red Sox owners in book
NEW YORK (AP)
Theo Epstein traded for Adrian Gonzalez and signed Carl Crawford following pressure from Boston Red Sox owners to build a ''sexy team,'' according to a book co-authored by former Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona.Epstein, who left as general manager after the 2011 season to become a Chicago Cubs executive, said Boston owner John Henry, chairman Tom Werner and president Larry Lucchino made the team's image a priority, according to excerpts released Tuesday by Sports Illustrated.
''Francona: The Red Sox Years'' is co-written by the Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy and is scheduled for publication by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt on Jan. 22.
''They told us we didn't have any marketable players, that we needed some sizzle,'' Epstein is quoted as saying. ''We need some sexy guys. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. This is like an absurdest comedy. We'd become too big. It was the farthest thing removed from what we set out to be.
"The owners said we had to get players who appealed to women and gays because that was their fan base" said the former Boston GM. "Thank God I only have fat drunken white guys to please these days with Cubs. They are much easier to deal with. Since they are losers they can identify with losers. That's what being a Cubs fan is all about."

Look who's talking. Like the Yankees aren't loaded with metrosexuals. I think A-Rod was into screwing all three sexes at one time, or was it four? Speaking of A-Rod, did you read about this monster house in Miami that he first bought and then completely gutted and rebuilt the innards with 9! bedrooms and now has put up for sale, all within the space of two years, the BS pedaled by the sportswriter in the Post being that he's putting it up for sale because he really really wants to concentrate on getting back into shape after the operation for next season and can't be bothered with distractions anymore ha ha ha ha ha.
WTF. The Red Sox and Cubs don't have problems drawing yuppies, pink hats, and a few blue collars in the cheap seats. The Cubs draw and they have sucked since WW2. Both had poor attendance during the dark era of the late 50's and 60's. But, since the 80's they draw if you put guys like Ron Cey out there. He only appealed to The Penquin, and we all know The Penquin is a hockey fan.
Super animation Chip!
The Sox owners are a bunch of libs.
One even fucked Katie Couric-how gay is that?
tits.
Big Papi is fucking ugly.
I actually thought Manny was kind of hot though-I think it was the dreads and me imagining pulling them as he blew me.
tits.
Great job with the tits animation Chip! You really bring them to life.
Tits Ahoy!
I've got a nominee for Whose That Girl.
Chip - we know she is not Lennay Kekua. I am going with Leni N. Squiggy.
That is all...
I bet Mantight Dayo wishes he had never "met" her.
But it's all good now, she's "dead".
What's the truth with that Notre Dame stuff?
The only thing I'm sure of is that Manti didn't get any closer to Lennay than he did to AJ McCarron's gf.
Or to AJ, for that matter.
ChipS, There is talk this virtual girlfriend was a beard because the dude is Titus bait.
In that case he might have reconsidered the idea of yapping to the national media about his fake squeeze.
Cuz if that's true then people who bet on ND in the title game might start to wonder if he whiffed on all those tackles b/c he was being blackmailed by some guidos.
Fucking Guidos!!
You know I mean that in the nicest possible way!
If you guys didn't know I would def do tao.
Some on the 24 hour sports networks have suggested extortion as one possible element in this story. We may never know what really took place.
Manti may be naive, may be a virgin, but even for a football player that boy is stupid. Three years, through sickness, an accident and even death and he never goes to see her, never meets her family, never gets so much as a peck on the cheek. There's dumb, then there's football dumb. That is a special kind of stupid right there.
I would go to my ex-wife's funeral, if only to make sure she was dead, although I might leave the honor of driving the wooden stake through her heart to others.
My BIG concern with Tao is he has a small hogo. I can sense these things by just looking at someone-small hand and hands faggy voice-he has a small hog. And it's uncut and chinky even if he is Hawaiian.
The guy has a fucking small dick.
I suspect just shaved pubes and som onion ring smegma around the uncut hog.
That is not to say I wouldn't do him but if I did he would def be a disappointment.
tits.
