Francona really dropped the ball as a manager. Running out of position players in the 7th, uses all his starters up front for 1 inning, saves all the closers for the end and runs outta pitchers.
The dumb-ass award goes to that "reporter" broad Jennie Zalasko. After all the NY press heat with Papelbon, him giving up the go ahead run, all the boos from the fans during the game for red sox players, ..... Jd Drew gets mvp. Time McCarver (another idiot most of the time) says something like..."maybe this will smooth out the recent friction in a rivalry that doesn't need anymore attention or to get any worse".......... So whats Zalasko do? During the mvp ceremony, she mentions like 3 times about JD Drew in a red sox uniform, winning mvp in the yankee stadium. It was like she was purpusely pouring gas on a fire. Dumb broad.
