Their reward is ducking it on Wednesday's parade in Boston. I hope to be there -it will be nuts. There are no Curt Schillings on this team, as far as I know. Cora - one of the lowest paid managers in MLB - had specific demands in his contract for hurricane relief for his hometown in PR. I think we know where he stands on a visit to the WH.

If there is a vote, the vast majority won't want to be anywhere near this toxic orange gasbag.

PS, Warner owns the Boston Globe...not exactly the Howie Carr, Trump loving Boston Herald. Gerry Callahan, the Rush Limbaugh of Boston talk radio, will not be pleased.
