John Lackey Can't Handle the Truth
After the loss last night John Lackey showed he has no class.
"We lost to a team that's not better than us," growled pitcher John Lackey, who gave up two runs and seven hits in seven innings. "We are a better team than they are. The last two days, we shouldn't have given up anything....."[Sunday] night they scored three runs on a pop fly that was called a hit, which was a joke," Lackey said, referring to Ellsbury's pop that fell between center fielder Torii Hunter and second baseman Howie Kendrick in Game 3.
"[Monday] night they scored on a broken-bat ground ball and a fly ball that anywhere else in America is an out, and he's fist-pumping on second base like he did something great."
It is almost like Dumbass Hank gave him some talking points.
Enjoy your time on the golf course you tool. We eat teams like yours for breakfast.

wow.
sorry john, but when your players let a fly ball drop to the ground - it's a hit. it's a rule, look it up.
as for pedroia's rbi, monster shot... your guys get to hit balls off the monster too you know... they just didn't.
i know he's gotta be frustrated as hell - but grow up man.
good find FW.
Can you at least admit that Pedroia's kind of a douche for that fist pump? Please. Just admit it. Like the dry cleaner in Seinfeld, all I want is an admission of douche baggery. Lackey makes the point: that shit is a fly ball ANYWHERE else but Fenway, so please, Pedroia, keep your God damn fist down.
Give him a break. He was just happy to get a hit after goin' oh-4-what.
@eyebleaf
Have you seen your closer celebrate after a save? How can any Angel complain about fist-pumping?
Ahahahahaha... what a sore loser.
Emphasis on the word LOSER! :D
I have seen BJ do the fist pump. Numerous times. I believe his fist-pumpage is legit because he's shut down a ball game for a save. Not hit a FLY BALL that in any other ball park but Fenway would be an out. There's a big difference. Don't fist pump after you hit a fly ball. Keep your mother fucking head down, and your arms at your side, and be thankful that you play in that whack ass ball park.
Are you really going to call Fenway a "whack ass ball park" when you play at a stadium with a roof and a hotel? With a statement like that we can take everything you say with a grain of salt.
Fenway West, you jackass, I'm calling it a "whack ass ball park" based on it's god damn mother fucking dimensions. Jesus Christ, do I really have to explain myself here? Wow. Unbelievable.
What the fuck does the roof at the SkyDome have to do with the dimensions on the field? What the fuck does the hotel at the SkyDome have to do with the dimensions on the field? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Fenway has one of the shortest porches in left field, in all of baseball. Based on the way it is built, yes, it is a "whack ass ball park."
And, since I clearly need to explain this to you as well, Toronto is in Canada. Canada is cold. You know, in April, it's still pretty God damn cold up here. So, you know that roof? We need it. Look up your history. The first baseball game ever played in Toronto was a snow-filled game. The Jays played a long time in Exhibition stadium and they realized that in order to play baseball in this city, the team needs a dome. For games both in April, and October, you know, when we're repeating as World Series champions.
Man, your team won, you guys are going on to the ALCS and you're favourites. You're favourites to win the World Series again. I'm not knocking the Red Sox, even though I hate them, because they get the job done. There's a reason the BoSox are always in this position in recent years.
Just admit that Pedroia's fist pump was not warranted, and that he's kind of a douche for doing it because, AT THE END OF THE DAY, it was a fly ball.
A. Fly. Ball.
That is all.
Do I have to say it again? Pedroia pupmed his fist because he finally got a hit in the ALDS. Not because it was a double off the Green Monster. Toronto plays enough games at Fenway park to get their share of doubles off that wall. And Toronot isn't that much colder than Boston, you're not that much furthur north. Stop whining already eyebleaf, you're starting to sound like Lackey! Toronto has a good team, you've won a couple of WS in the not too distant past, and you'll win some more, so pull that bat out of your ass already! So just stfu and come back tom'w when you finally calmed down.
Nobody cares that it was a fly ball off the monster. It's still a hit in the post season and Pedroia had just snapped a long, frustrating hitless streak. He had every right to be excited.
P.S. You really shouldn't talk about ball parks when the only thing keeping yours from being the ugliest stadium in the east is the Tampa Bay OJ Dump.
time for a repeat post

If I'm not mistaken, both Lackey and Lester were pitching in the same ballpark last night, weren't they?
@ Heretic: It was a fly ball. That's the point. I don't give a shit about his long, frustrating hitless streak. In any other ball park that long, frustrating hitless streak becomes a longer, more frustrating hitless streak, because all he did was hit a fly ball. Hence why I don't need to see him doing a fist-pump.
Very poor fist-pump etiquette from your little Dustin Pedroia.
Very poor.
P.P.P.p.P.p.S.S: You can give us the Ugliest Stadium in the East Award. We will accept it graciously because, you know, it means everything.
@ Fenway: I've got to admit, that video is pretty funny.
One of the great things about baseball that places it apart from the rest of team sports is the fact that no two stadia have the same dimensions. In another park, it may have been just a fly ball, but it *wasn't* any other park, it was Fenway Park. The BJ's have had their cheap hits off the wall, as well as the Angels. That being said, how can you fault our 'little Dustin Pedroia' for not being happy about getting his first playoff hit of 2008? I mean, really, let it go already. BTW, 'little Dustin Pedroia' had some of the BIGGEST numbers in the AL! (And thanks for the hit.)
It's all love, fellas. I hope you guys know that, for real.
We're all passionate baseball fans, and we are united in that.
Fenway West, great blog you got here. Cheers.
Good luck to the Sox in the ALCS. I'm looking forward to some great baseball and hopefully some fireworks.
Oh, and hopefully a few less fist pumps!
thanks for the kind words eyebleaf, it is nice to finally get some lively discussions on here.
