    Alex Cora resigns as Red Sox manager

    He’s implicated in the 2017 Astros sign stealing controversy when he was a bench coach there and as Red Sox manager in the sign stealing rumors in Boston.

    The pressure was too much I suppose.
    His legacy as a good baseball mind is tarnished.

    I am not a huge BB guy, but I do kind of appreciate the balls and creativity the Stros showed in getting that competitive advantage.

    If this has been going on for years as reported, my big ? with all the smart mofos not figuring it out sooner. Someone had to drop a dime. Would have been a bit better if they got caught in a sting.

    I think he’s the only player to ever win a little league World Series, college World Series and a MLB World Series.

    Well have you ever been to Fenway, had 2-4 hotdogs and plenty of 15 dollar draft beer and then thrown up??? If not you haven’t lived yet. Come to Boston and you will change your mind.

    I’m at Fenway often, gotta love the dogs there, two bites and it’s gone then you gotta burp just to see what it tasted like.

    Love the sausage and pepper sandwiches outside the park though.
    60 bucks now to park across the street.
    Fuk that I just take the green line to Kenmore and walk up the street.

    Good! Maybe now we can get a manager that can manage this team to win lots of games unlike Loser Cora did last year. This guy is the biggest fraud out there. He was too shittty of a manager to even have a subpar career without cheating. If he didn't cheat that team finishes in last place every year under his watch. MLB should ban him for life and never look back. Congrats to Red Sox ownership for taking swift action and not waiting it out.

    Cora surely had a lot of help, and Dombrowski and others in HO
    knew about this. Replay Room, multiple relays, look at today's press conference
    Red Sox HO still trying to act like it was merely Cora's involvement at Houston
    that is the reason.. and with the Red Sox world series at stake, very little confidence
    MLB will let all the truth out. It's like Patriots Spygate all over again.
    Enough to sicken any fan who loves the game more than the jersey.
