Heh, no, I don't think so, nothing that nice... :)
Remember, Boston's sports climate is quite a bit less nice than Chicago's. I think that those articles that say that Bartsman is being blamed because the Chicago fans don't really want to blame their team might well be accurate... let's just say that if that was Boston, there would be no such recitence. :D
As for why we're blaming Little and not the players... well, the players did well! The only real thing that could be complained about was Pedro pitching to those last two guys, and I don't think anyone would blame him for trying...
And besides, you'd need to pretend to have a southern accent to be Grady Little. Not easy in New England...
