If Jimy wasn't fired, they win WS in 03 AND 04.
Jimy Williams over Zombie Dick Williams?
So no second chance at Morgan Magic?
Also, cut Grady Little some slack. Yes, he left Pedro in too long in one game on a team that had a bullpen that couldn't struggled to get outs for 6 months. But Little had a .580 winning percentage in his two season with the Sox. That doesn't count for anything? That's the second highest percentage of all Sox managers since the Korean War, behind only Cora. And Little comes without Cheating Scandal Baggage...
Yes. Jimy still has that quote game. Dick Williams is just "aahhhhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
Not to be ageist, but I think 90 year olds could only be a bench coach at best.
Little was gifted a superior roster to what Jimy had. Jimy was a better fit for the Sox during that time period and I believe he could lead them out of the wilderness again.
Also, s-c-r-e-w Grady Little forever and a day.
The thing I remember best about Jimy was that at his press conferences, when he was asked for some insights into strategy or whatever for the upcoming game, his answer was always the same:
"We'll go play."
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
I loved Jimy...youre late Pedro, Bryce is gonna start in your place today!
Mr. Weebles.
Memorializing Williams is like getting a root canal from jeff dahmer. Just unpleasant!
If a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its booty.
Jimy's bullpen management skills were simplistically brilliant. Basically, you got either Hipolito Pichardo and Rich Garces (and rarely just one of them) or you got Rheal Cormier and Tim Wakefield. The idea of having the middle relievers work in pairs to guarantee adequate rest was so simple, but it worked so well. And yet we really have not seen it since...
RIP Wendell Kim. I don't think we should waste our hologram budget on him though.
And no, I don't support bringing back Dale Sveum in ANY capacity.
