Hearsay?

When the Red Sox failed in the Alex Rodriguez negotiations (and thank goodness for that) Lucchino blamed the players' union. When the Red Sox traded Nomar Garciaparra, members of the Red Sox (guesses, anyone?) leaked information to make the shortstop out to be the villain. And now, in the worst transgression of all, Red Sox management is smearing one of its own in the most sacrosanct negotiation, one that should have been conducted exclusively within the gilded walls of the front office at 4 Yawkey Way.

I'm not a Lucchino supporter, but, um, where is the evidence to support Larry smearing Theo publicly? Who has this on tape? It's all hearsay and conjecture at this point, so I'm going to sit tight and wait. What's the use in getting ahead of ourselves with this? I don't know, maybe it's all an eminence front, a put-on. Seriously, this is crazy.



Smile, Theo. you're on candid camera!
