If You Dig Deep Enough You'll Hit Some Rocks

He really is a relentlessly negative asshole, isn't he?
FORT MYERS, Fla. — So there. It’s all true. We weren’t making it up last summer/fall when we told you that the first-place 2017 Red Sox were sour, unhappy, dysfunctional, and headed for a fall. A couple of Sox everyday stalwarts gave voice to it Thursday morning at JetBlue Park before the second official workout for pitchers and catchers.

“We had a lot of stuff going on last year,’’ acknowledged Xander Bogaerts, a veteran of the 2013 world champion Red Sox.

Could he be a little more specific?

“I mean, we all know,’’ Bogaerts said. “We all know what was going on. I don’t think I want to get into details, but that’s what I said.

The quicker we move on, the better for all of us. We should look forward to this year. It’s a new year. We should try to reach the playoffs again and get over that first round.’’
The problem right now is that Shank will not move on, until John Henry calls Shank into his office and tells him to knock this shit off.

And that won't be happening anytime soon

I'd like to thank Red Sox upper management and the Boston Globe for making me loathe them despite their success.

And CHB tells Mookie the team is not generating any "buzz" in Boston. ... No "buzz" in mid-February? We're DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!

Better luck in 2019!
