Francona Goes On a Bender
These things write themselves, truly. Terry Francona is rear-ended while on the Dale Arnold Show on WEEI.
FRANCONA: We have Jay Payton as our fourth outfielder, kinda be the Gabe Kapler.... Aww, geez! Guys, I gotta go. Somebody just rear-ended me.
ARNOLD: See you, Ter.
FRANCONA: You know what, it had the Yankee logo, too.
ARNOLD: See you, Terry.
MASSAROTTI: Figures!
ARNOLD: That’s unbelievable.
MASSAROTTI: No, it happens, you know. Probably did it on.... It’s probably Steinbrenner who’s driving. That’s probably who it is. Who knows?
“Geez”? Gosh darn it, I love this guy.
The Boston Globe updates this incident. Regarding the Yankee decal: “I was joking.” He also has a new interview tactic: “Next time someone asks me a tough question or a dumb question,” he said, “I’m going to say I had a car accident.”

Yeah, the "geez" bit is great!

Ahh Geez!! Is my new favorite catchphrase. That audio bit is just fucking hilarious. I'm glad to see Tito okay though. It gets funnier every time you hear it. I would've sworn up a storm, if it was me.
