Hey, Henry & Lucchino! Stoop Down and smell your Sox

Maybe the owner and the CEO are “ready and willing” to try to give the Sox a shot at the Playoffs, but they are certainly not “able.” Making money does not qualify a person to own and run a Major league baseball franchise; nor does it make a MLB Commissioner.

But, no worries, for the depressing duration of this season, the Millionaire and the CEO will be happy to sell out games —and the Fenway Faithful.

Once the fans have filled their seats and their coffers, the Brain Truss will roll out the “Youth Movement” marketing plan.

While Ben will be glad to “move on” to a new management solution, Bobby Valentine may move back to putting his baseball knowledge, intelligence, and linguistic loquaciousness to better use, resuming his career as MLB Media Maven.

The root of  what’s rotten with the Red Sox is NOT a risk-adverse, maiden-voyage GM, or even Bigelow Tea-To for allowing a fecund field for team necrosis, or Valentine unable to fumigate the melodrama malaise in the clubhouse, or even the complete failure of Beckett and Lester; the problem is the Fenway Brain Truss [John Henry and Larry Lucchino], who are out of their league, and allowed a pustule to form and fester, until the putrid odor spread over Red Sox Nation.
