Add Mike Cubbage to the list of Boston Red Sox employees with interim in front of their titles. <br>
<br>
The Red Sox fired manager Joe Kerrigan on Tuesday and replaced him for now with Cubbage, who soon may return to the third-base coach's box as the team intensifies its search for a permanent manager. <br>
<br>
Kerrigan follows former general manager Dan Duquette, who was fired and replaced with interim GM Mike Port a day after John Henry's group bought the team on Feb. 27.<br>
<br>
``This kind of decision is always difficult to make,'' Port said. ``We have the utmost respect for Joe, and admire his work ethic and his achievements as a pitching coach. ... We firmly believe that this action is in the long-term best interest of this franchise.'' <br>
<br>
Duquette promoted Kerrigan late last season after he fired Jimy Williams on Aug. 16.
