Negative Positive
Title: Good read
Review: I burned through this book, as I do believe it's a great read for true Sox fans. To disagree with a few reviews: 1) I don't think you can get this sort of behind the scense glimpse at the management level info from reading the Globe/Herald. You can't believe 1/2 of what they print. 2) It doesn't focus on the clubhouse/players, as someone pointed out, but that's not the goal.It's a review of what got the Sox to the '04 title. At the same time, it shows the greed of the Sox owners and the stubborness of Lucchino that made them fall down in '05 and now '06, and I fear will probably prevent them from getting another title soon. It's true that the Sox brass treat the team too much like a business (yes, I know it's a business) on the baseball operations side than they should. There is plenty of money to be made elsewhere.So it definitely focuses more on the management than the players (which was it's goal, no less) so if you're looking for that kind of detail, this is a great read.
Is the review positive or negative?
