Downed By A Bunch of Pirates
Unable to navigate through the dangerous waters of Fort Myers (can’t even use Bradenton as an excuse), the Red Sox lost their second straight spring training game to what can only be described as a rogue squadron of sea bandits from a place called “Pittsburgh”.
But I am going to call shenanigans. That’s right, you heard me: SHENANIGANS. Not only were former Sox Eric Hinske and Brandon Moss suited up and playing in the black and gold, the “former” Pirate Jason Bay was nowhere to be found in the Sox lineup. Yet he curiously found the time to pal around with Pittsburgh’s manager, and reminisce fondly about his days as a Pirate.
“It’s kind of hard to just shut it off,” Bay said of his ties to Pittsburgh. “You’ve been around them for five, six years — you’ve got some friendships over there, and I still do.”
“Friendships”, Mr. Bay? Could it be that you have more than a friendship with your “former” ballclub – and, in fact, are a double agent spying on the inner workings of the Sox clubhouse for the Pirates? I think this is the only logical explanation for today’s loss.
God, he is so NARCISSISTIC. I knew it from the get-go.
@MHCranberry: That’s why he’s the NARCISSISTIC MANCHILD.
It was all part of the Pirates’ dastardly plan to dominate MLB by trading us their most valuable player. . . . First the Grapefruit league, next step–conquer the NL East! Then it’s a hop, skip, and a jump to World Series victory, and then: dolphins, with lasers on their heads!
I’m glad I’m not the only one to see right through their laser-headed dolphin plan.
@Texy: bwaaahaaahaaahaaa
I’m glad I’m not watching the game today…ouch.
