Terry Francona lost his gig as replace Tim McCarver as Joe Buck's partner for the first two games of the American League Championship Series. McCarver reportedly has a "medical issue." Two words for the insufferable McCarver: Wally Pipp.

MLB teams may face stiff competition for Francona's services as he already has a managerial offer in his back pocket. The Laconia (N.H.) Muskrats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League offered him a $6,000 contract to manage the club in 2012. Team G.M. Noah Crane wants Francona to join "Muskrat Nation."

The deal includes some interesting perks like 25 Funspot token cards.
