I'm Mr. Francona's son and he wanted me to come over and say hello
They're not going to fire a guy over one mistake
He kind of blew us away, Is the guy too nice?
We'd better win
This is not acceptable
Just crazy enought to think we can do this
2005: Everywhere we went people were bowing and shit
2006: We will take care of your son
2007: They were all into getting the trophy and they didn't even know I was there
2008: This will not help us win
2009: This is like a reality TV show
2010: We need to start winning in more exciting fashion
2011: I feel like I let you down
Somebody went out of their way to hurt me
2012: I guess we should have won a third World Series
