He's back...
And you'll be able to tell. Fifty thousand strong are (or should be) expected - all to "welcome" back our dear chump, Mr. Johnny Farrell.
Through all the controversy though, does he honestly merit our boos? Or even our attention for that matter? Well, yes. Here's why:
1) He manages the Red Sox; 'nuff said
2) He didn't accomplish anything in Toronto. Wait, does crappy bullpen management count as an accomplishment?
3) Did I mention he manages the Red Sox?
4) Farrell fails to answer any question. Below were his remarks on his upcoming return to T-Dot:
"People are going to have their own opinions, and I respect that. It goes along with the heightened interest in the Blue Jays and a lot of the changes they've made. There's a lot of excitement there," Farrell said of the team he managed the previous two seasons. "In this case, with how things unfolded, the unique set of circumstances that surround both the change in Toronto and here in Boston, I can fully appreciate that they might have those feelings. What might come out of it, we'll see starting tomorrow, but we're looking forward to going up there and competing against them."
So basically... he doesn't give a sh*t. About anything. I foresee a future in politics.
Well that's my two cents. Whatday'all think? #ForgetAboutFarrell or #BeatFarrell ... the latter seems far more intriguing.
Leave a comment... but be nice. We don't need any Farrells around here!
I think the largest reason is basically he used the Blue Jays as a stepping stone to his 'dream' job and wasn't too subtle about it either. Works out best for us in a few ways: We get a better manager andthe Red Sox now have one more handicap (as if they need more handicaps) in having an incompetent manager. It'll be interesting to see the Red Sox 'Nation' go after JF once they realize that he can't really help them. Not that I'm bitter
