Well any hope of the Red Sox even trying to contend for a Wild Card is basically dead now that a significant amount of the players have placed an ultimatum of either Bobby V gets fired or they won't care anymore about the season.
Pedroia still hates Bobby V while certain players hate they no longer get the same lax privileges Francona gave which created the mess to begin with. The worst fears of Gonzalez becoming "tainted" from certain spoiled players (ex. Youk and Beckett) is now a reality since he's complaining a lot.
Basically they don't want any strict managers and easier to blame Bpbby V (who hasn't been that great nor that horrible) as the scapegoat to why they suck this season.
