They've been under pressure from the RedSox fans all season. This is from the Boston Globe (owned by Henry). Sound familiar?
''This is not his mess. It’s one created by general manager Ben Cherington, who constructed this flawed team, and by a philosophy, espoused by owner John Henry (also the owner of the Globe), that emphasizes the age of a pitcher over his track record or talent level.
But it’s a mess that Farrell has to pull the Sox out of and fast or he won’t weather the storm''
A lot of FSG's decisions are coming home to roost.
