Boston manager Terry Francona has come to the realization that expectations on managers and organizations in New York and Boston are different than in other cities.
"(General manager) Theo (Epstein) and I have talked about this a lot lately," said Francona. "Because of the money that's spent and all the passion that's (in Boston) . . . things have gotten a little bit skewed around here. Sometimes the big fight for me and (for) Theo . . . too, is not losing sight of what's important, what's meaningful to you.
"Being part of what we're doing, I absolutely love and I really love who I'm doing it with. But it is a fight sometimes to keep the perspective. I mean, we're sitting at 101 wins (regular season and postseason) and people don't seem to be very happy much of the time. That is a little perplexing, but that's the way it is, so you deal with it the best you can," he said.
