No Tito in Baltimore

Posted by Ted McEnroe May 13, 2008 at 2:38 pm

The Boston Red Sox will play their two-game series in Baltimore without their manager. Sox skipper Terry Francona will miss the series to attend a family funeral in Arizona.

Mary Ann Lang, the mother of his wife, Jacque, passed away on Monday night in Tucson, Arizona. Francona and his family flew to Tucson today.

Red Sox bench coach Brad Mills will manage the club during the Orioles series.

Our condolences to the family.
