Come on Francona! I know you've got some kind of weird father-son attachment to Jason Varitek, and maybe he calls a good game but his bat is crap and his arm is a serious embarassment to Red Sox fans everywhere (of which I am not one). That being said, even I, the great Sox criticizer, can't stand to watch it any longer. Your bat boys could throw the ball down to second better than him. The catcher on my daughter's little league softball team maybe could have. And I know she hit better.
