The Kiss of Death

Red Sox owners John Henry and Larry Lucchino met with Bobby Valentine and Ben Cherington in Valentine's office after Saturday's debacle.

Cherington, on Valentine's job performance:

"Very satisfied. He makes the lineup out, makes decisions during the game. The players will always influence wins and losses more than anybody else, and that's no different here. He's doing the best he can with the roster he has. It'll get better, He knows that and I know that, and along the way if changes need to be made on the roster, that's my responsibility."

Who the hell is Cherington trying to kid?

I'm betting Valentine's a goner, perhaps sooner rather than later.
