The Globe details some of what was going on in the clubhouse as the Sox collapsed last month. Not pretty; give Francona props for talking, at least.

Faced with a sub-.500 team, Beth resorts to other means to enjoy games, such as Entertainment Value Above Replacement:

Beth recounts the nail-biting moments in last night's Sox game, the ones involving Schilling, Foulke and Timlin - and beer cans aimed at the televised head of Terry Francona:
