John Lackey has beer in the clubhouse, so apparently the Sox have given up
Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com believes that the Red Sox have given up and the
season is lost.
I don’t know that that’s true. While things seem bleak, the race for the
wild card is still tight enough that a week’s worth of good fortune could
totally transform things.
But for a moment, let’s pretend that the season is definitively over. Even
if that were the case, can someone tell me how this translates to giving up?
Like John Lackey, who apparently needs to travel with the team and work with
trainer Mike Reinold while recovering from Tommy John surgery – a fairly
standard rehab that literally thousands of pitchers have come back from
stronger-than-ever over the last 30 years. But for whatever reason, the
underachieving righty needs to travel with the team even though he won’t be
throwing even one measly pitch for them.
Lackey was so busted up after the latest defeat that he was strutting around
the clubhouse with a can of Bud Light in each hand, or what is known as “
double-fisting” on every college campus in the history of mankind. So much
for the Bobby Valentine ban on alcohol in the Sox clubhouse that was
implemented during spring training.
1. Bobby V. owns a bar. I go to it on occasion, and they have a lot of really
good beer there. In light of that, I’m going to assume that Valentine
realizes that Bud Light does not actually qualify as alcohol, so he likely
does not consider this to be a violation of the policy.
2. Since when is traveling with the team when you’re injured a sign of a
lack of dedication and commitment? Usually guys get slammed for staying away
from the team. This line of attack on Lackey and the Sox totally baffles me.
But hey, it’s the Red Sox. And it’s apparently utterly impossible to see
anything that happens with that team in either a positive or at least a
neutral light.
