OT: Indians hire Terry Francona

This is breaking news per ESPN.

He is friends with the front office guys.  I don't like it when they say a manager had success when they had a huge payroll and top players.

It also made it stupid to fire Acta and have Sandy take over with 6 games left.

I thought the whole skuddlebutt was they fired Acta to hire Alomar before someone else hired him..geez that front office needs a few  I think

[careless hal]

Glad to see the Tribe do it! Was worried they might hold on to Alomar.   Wish they would have gave Valentine a shot.  He would be Ideal

Bad Hire. Now the season holders have no incentive to buy back. (Although there shouldn't be season holders for the Indians.!!!) Are they going to spin it as a major FREE AGENT COUP!!!!!!!! As long as they put a A or AA team and charge what they do I won't be going to many Indians games.

I love Francona as a manager, but would definitely have hired Sandy Alomar.

It pobably makes him more $$$$$$ than being with ESPN, but he will lose the rest of his hair.

Looks like a nice fit.

Yeah with a couple of 20 game winners and the old 90 indians murderer's row than that IS a NICE FIT!!! The Jacob's were SMART with their investment. They sold a bunch of WORTHLESS STOCK to the Indians fans. They were  all the way to the bank!!!
