Shank, continuing his
long running pretend liking of the man, now asks (in the middle of the game) - what is to become of David Price?
LeBron James will cry to the officials. The first penalty in any hockey game in Montreal will be called against the visitors. And David Price will spit the bit in the playoffs.
Of this, you can be sure.
Price was hoping to get back in your good graces against the Yankees in Game 2 of the AL Division Series Saturday night. He was going to make you forget all about his $217 million contract and the ambush of Dennis Eckersley and Fortnite and the rest of the nonsense. He was going to win a playoff game. Against the Yankees.
A reason is offered for Shank's lack of venom:
There’s no need to pile on Price anymore. It simply is sad. Price is one of the best pitchers of his generation. He is wildly rich and liked by his teammates. But his performance anxiety renders him hopeless in the big moments. If you want to be loved by Boston baseball fans you have to pitch well in the playoffs and you have to beat the Yankees. Price has done neither.
Wait until Price is off the team - then you'll see the real vicious criticisms from Shank.
Once Price leaves this fraud will turn on him. Just ask Pedro when he left for the Mets
ReplyDeleteJust not going to happen. Price will eventually redeem himself--in spades--and re-sign with the Sox. Shank will be left twisting in the wind, taking advantage of the redemption story that can write itself.
