Note to Eck and Price and everyone else : For the love of God , let it go . It's not that important.

Even if they don’t let it go, the rest of the world needs to. This is between two adults and no one else...

as far as the baseball season goes, I think you are right, but there is a broader issue with Price.

 

I think he seems to be a guy who tends to bash Boston first, because he buys into the outdated "Boston is a racist town," ********.

 

Boston is as progressive a town as ANY place in America, yet he gloms onto the minority of knuckleheads in Boston, & judges Red Sox Nation based on the lowest common denominator.

 

It seems to frost the s*** out of Price still, that so many sided with Eck. Rather than assume it was that his attack was an attack on a DECADES old love of a Boston legend, he seems to take it as a very personal, if not racist defense of Eck. Eck brushed of Chad Finn's repeated questions about the incident, but Price pounced on it, & went as low as you can go....

 

"Nobody likes him. He has no former teammates who can say anything positive about him.

I'll have hundreds of teammates who will say they love ME!"

 

WTF? This is almost pathological with Price, and it speaks to a profound lack of respect for a decades old love affair Boston has had with ONE OF our legends.

 

Eck simply also happens to work for NESN, & Boston fans don't suffer fools. We WANT guys in the booth who will call it like they see it. Price is so thin skinned that he has to get personal, & go scorched earth and hominem?

 

THE BIG ISSUE IS, that Price shows no respect for Boston fans by continuing to savage OUR legend.

Sure Kimmi!

 

Understandable to be upset by the loss of a pet.

The problem is, that Price once again lost control of his emotions & went on the attack of Eck. Eck's quote in the Chad Finn's comprehensive piece on his HOF career was a big nothing, & a clear attempt to say that neither he or Price gives a damb about the other & that they has both just moved on...

 

Price, once again went scorched earth on Eck, not only saying that he has no former players who like or respect him, but also strongly implied that HE would have scores of players praising him in a similar retrospective when he is retired.

 

It was another bizzare, childish, petty, demeaning, etc unprovoked attack on Eck, & it still stems from a profound need to justify his original attack of Eck on that plane 2 years ago.

 

He can't stand that part of Eck's job is to add color to the NESN broadcast, & give honest opinions about what is happening in the game, & what is happening with the team at any given time. He is not there to be the play by play guy, he is there to give color.

 

Price can't handle ANY criticism, especially from anyone Boston, so he USED the E-Rod comment 2 years ago & saught to embarrass & humiliate Eck in front of the entire team, & everyone else on that plane. Now, he hates Eck & what he does so much, that he can't handle an article designed to honor him. PRICE can't handle any criticism, so HE used the NOTHING reaction about E-Rod 2 years ago, just as he used this NOTHING quote in the Finn story to take more shots at Eck.

 

So clearly Price feels badly about the passing of his "best friend," but that is no excuse for INDULGING HIMSELF with another tear down of Eck. Price is the problem, not Eck.

The passing of his pet does not excuse more ad hominem attacks & more petty indulgences.

 

I do not excuse Price's behavior towards Eck. I pretty much agree with everything that you have posted here. My comment about Price mourning the loss of his dog was in reference to Price's performance in his last outing, that perhaps that was the reason that he pitched so poorly, and that his bad outing had nothing to do with the spotlight being back on him in a negative way.

 

I did not mean to imply that mourning his dog gave Price the right to lash out at Eck again, or even gave us a reason to excuse Price for doing so.

 

I have felt from the beginning of this story that Price is in the wrong. That being said, I do keep in mind that there might be more to the story than what we know and that the media tends to escalate these things.

This time? Nothing. The thread is 2 years old and I guess there were conflicting reports about his involvement then.

Anyone still paying any attention to this argument between two successful adults is giving too much importance to the world of entertainment in my opinion. If this was an attitude shared by people in boston in general I would call it horribly regressive. Is it really that important to people that an athlete has to love the entire landscape that they are paid to perform in?

hey I was kind of wondering about pedroia
