I agree with the first sentence. He is a moron, no question. And a hack, and a joke.

I disagree with the second one. The first time I saw the play in full speed (on the video, as I didn't see it live) he clearly looked safe. The foot got in before the swipe tag was applied. I then looked at the replay at least 20 more times, stopping and starting the video to see if anything had changed, and it had not. It looks as if the foot hits the base, then the glove hit the runners leg, in that order. Still a tough call either way, but I have him safe. Maybe the quality of the video isn't good enough to tell conclusively.

Francona did deserve to be ejected, as he clearly said something nasty to the umpire.
