'Bostoned Out', Revisited

One of Shank's favorite pastimes - second guessing the Red Sox:


...which included a World Series championship in 2013, but never mind that.

Here's what we wrote about this five and a half years ago:
Without a hint of irony, Shank then drops this one on Lester:
Is he Bostoned out?

“Yeah, sometimes,’’ he said. “Sometimes I want to strangle myself. It can be intimidating, especially when you have seasons like last year. It’s tough. You know [you’re bad] and your teammates are trying to pick you up and everybody else knows [you’re bad] and you’re trying to break even on the whole deal. You try to live with it and move on.

“If you can play in Boston and survive and do good, I think you can play anywhere.’’
So, the columnist arguably the most responsible for contributing to an athlete's feeling of being 'Bostoned out', asks that question of Jon Lester with a straight face? Who said irony is dead?

What do you expect from the man who went on every TV show demanding Roger Clemens to go to the hall as a Yankee. He is a fraud
