"I'm not a theo guy"

[yankees228]

Baseless conjecture

 

Too many people spout conjecture like it's fact.

Shea Hillenbrand: Not a theo guy.

To accuse the FO of "giving juicy tidbits" or "airing dirty laundry" you need something more than conjecture.

 

You need proof.

 

And a couple snide remarks here and there from Lucchino or Henry don't constitute proof, just a lack of restraint sometimes aired out of frustration.

 

Every Sox player the FO has severed ties with since 2003 in unsavory fashion has had problems that are public domain, not a tidbit from the FO, except Johnny Damon.

 

We all knew Nomar was unhappy, Pedro's shoulder was in shreds, D-Lowe is a party animal, and don't get me started on Manny.

 

The Boston media is a raging beast, but i find it kinda douchy (specially from Jacko) not to see that the New York media is just a big a beast, and maybe even worse, since they've basically destroyed Alex Rodriguez while he was a key player in their Yankees, at least the Boston media tries to sweeten it up in some way.

 

And besides, what about some key guys who left on good terms? Millar, Mueller, Timlin, Nixon.

 

Sure, they may lack the star power, but they also weren't prima donnas or trouble makers whose exploits were easy pickings for the media.

 

 

the NY media does what it wishes. But you dont see key guys from our team getting let go and then getting destroyed. When Bernie left, a few articles about the fact that he was done or even more, a few articles about how our GM had no loyalty, but there was no character homicide. When Pettitte left the first time, there were whispers about elbow problems, but for there was no character assassination. If the player sucked, had an extramarital affair, took roids, etc, they got ridden while they were in pinstripes. There is no wink and a handshake to air that laundry later. For the sox, everything is perceived as being honky dory until the player is on their way out. Then, all these negative articles come out prior to and after the departure.

I wanna know what kind of post-departure "character assassination" hasn't been justified because as far as I know, the same things were being said about said players while they were still in uniform. Francona reprimanding Petey for leaving the ballpark early after his first start in '04 came out long before he signed with the Mets for example.

Do you have an auto-repeat mechanism?

 

We're asking for proof, and it's not here.

More baseless conjecture from the resident troll. Plenty of Red Sox players have left the team on good terms: Bill Mueller, Curt Schilling, Kevin Millar, Mark Loretta, Alex Gonzalez, etc. And even when players such as Nomar left under less than perfect circumstances, they're greeted with standing ovations when they return.

 

This is simply a matter of you thinking something is true, because you wish it was. There's no factual or logical basis for a "wink and a handshake" agreement between the Red Sox and the media.

 

And you know that, that's why you've completely glazed over the dozen or so times people have asked you for any proof.
