Larry Lucchino Calling The Red Sox Scrappy Underdogs Just Hoping To Compete With the Blue Jays Makes Me Want To Vomit
Bostonherald - “I actually like being the underdog,” said Lucchino, who then compared his club with the rebuilt, back-in-business Toronto Blue Jays, who spent a ton of money this offseason in an attempt to revitalize baseball in a city where most people tuned out the game since the Roberto Alomar-Joe Carter glory days of the early 1990s. Lucchino said he reminded Blue Jays president Paul Beeston that “there’s no trophies for winning the offseason. If he wants to go into the season feeling he is the prohibitive favorite, that’s great. We’re just scrappy underdogs trying to win for our franchise and for our fans.”
So this is it huh? This is the new message from the Sox ownership. We’re the Pittsburgh Pirates. Just a bunch of scrappy underdogs trying to compete with major market teams lilke the Toronto Blue Jays. Umm okay Larry. Although truth be told if I really wanted to root for a scrappy underdog the last team on the planet I’d root for would be the Red Sox. I’d probably be a Royals fan. Seriously does this statement make everybody want to puke like it does for me? The Boston Red Sox are scrappy underdogs now? I think he meant underachieving bums.
I honestly couldn’t care less about this upcoming baseball season… haven’t listened to sports radio since the Pats lost…
Throw a tent over Fenway and call it what it is…….. A Circus!
I’m not sure what the fuck I’m going to watch once the hockey season is over, but I can tell you it won’t be the red sox.
So Lucchino’s lowering expectations so that when the Sox fail the fallout on ownership won’t be as bad. Heart of a true champion right there.
He was sarcastic when he said it
sox fan til i die ill see all u frauds back on the bandwagon when there in the playoffs
Scrappy underdogs with the entitled attitude of All Stars. Possibly the least likeable combination of characteristics.
“Underdogs” or “underachievers”?
all it took was 2 championships for them to not give a FUCK about winning.They probably care more about roush racing, that pussy soccer team, and lebron more than the sox.
its fucking bizarro world how dumb this ownership/management group thinks the fanbase is. given there are plenty of pink hat retards who will sing sweet caroline, buy bricks, and take “selfies” at fenway anyway but jesus christ guys, there’s plenty of us that see what is really going on here. stop trying to sugarcoat shit, talk out of both sides of your mouths, and treat sox fans like the extremely loyal fanbase they’ve been for decades. assholes.
This twat also predicted that the sellout “streak” will end this season. Lucchino is basically the Red Sox’ Goebbels.
Having a bigger payroll than the Jays and then calling yourself an underdog is an admission that you’re a poorly run team. And an asshole.
The problem is the boston media, letting this sort of bullshit happen, from the globe, to the herald, to 98.5 and eei. It takes the national media and some guy who isn’t on the beat at the globe to get the real scoop. Fuck nick carfado. Fuck Michael Silverman. Fuck Gordon Edes. Fuck ‘em all.
Baseball is unwatchable.
scrappy underdogs with a 160 million dollar payroll??? makes sense
A lot of Pink hats in here. You people realize that this team is 100% different than last year right? Ellsbury, Pedroia, Lester, Buchholz, and Lackey are all that’s left of the circus last year. And yes, ownership sucks, but they’re rich as shit and aren’t getting rid of the team when their price is low.
Fuck Fat Joe Haggerty – Comcast SportsNet pays him in Old Country Buffett coupons. I know this blog has nothing to do with him, but I hate that fat bastard.
I think he meant CRAPPY underdogs.
Good luck competing with the yanks for 4th in the division. Blue Jays are winning the east this year
If it weren’t for the Bruins, I might not ever flip on NESN again.
wah wah wah…so sick of sox fans…PLEASE go rout for another team already. never been a bigger group of cry babies. “they need to re-haul the line up” they trade away 3 of there biggest names. “they cant throw money at big free agent busts” they sign a bunch of hustle players at small money. “they need to admit this thing was broken” they run an entire ad campaign around fixing themselves. What the fuck do you all want? everything the media and fans have asked for they have delivered. So all of you pussies can stop threatening “to never watch again” and go buy some Oriole jerseys.
@beer nuts – “everything the media and fans have asked for they have delivered”? i must have missed the part where the media and fans asked for an unlikable roster and a last place team. shithead.
@EZBreezey2222 – I always love this one. Just one big sweeping generalization…who don’t you like? Seriously. Half the guys just got here. And better yet, who did they not get, who you wanted? Please, give me names. i need to know who im suppose to hate cause im having a tough time figuring it out. assclown.
hardos that call people pink hats should kill themselves. I dont know why, they just should
So ‘Beer Nuts’ is Dr. Creepy’s screen name on Barstool?
