Transcript of Red Sox Players Meeting with Ownership About Bobby Valentine - Image 1

  1. John Henry

    Okay, you guys requested this meeting to vent some frustrations with Bobby Valentine. Let's hear it.

  2. Larry Lucchino

    First, just one thing we should mention — as men of means, we enjoy fine wines. And it just so happens that me and John had several bottles of a '61 Bordeaux the day we decided to hire Bobby. So, yeah. Our apologies if we messed up. Lesson learned. We won't make future hires while drunk.

  3. John Henry

    Right. I'm with him on that. Now let's hear what you have to say. Adrian, you texted me to schedule this. You start.

  4. Adrian Gonzalez

    Okay. Yeah, I mainly hate everything about Bobby – his personality, his style of managing, and especially his stupid face. I don't know a better way to put it.

  5. Larry Lucchino

    Got it. I can't really disagree with anything you said. Let's keep it going around the table. Jon?

  6. Jon Lester

    I hate Bobby because he kept me in too long when I didn't have my best stuff and I got lit up.

  7. John Henry

    Are you talking about that April game when you gave up seven runs in two innings?

  8. Jon Lester

    No, not that one.

News Red Sox Ask Josh Beckett to Stop Hitting His Pitching Wedge in the Outfield During Games

Red Sox Ask Josh Beckett to Stop Hitting Pitching Wedges in the Outfield During Games - Image 1
Noted golfer and part-time pitcher Josh Beckett has been asked to curtail his golf practice during Red Sox games. Beckett said today that Boston manager Bobby Valentine has banned him from his customary practice of hitting pitching wedges in the Fenway Park outfield during home games.

"I only pitch once every five days," said Beckett. "And even then, usually for only a few innings. So I see it as a favor to them that I show up at all for games during my off-days. I just like to get some wedge work in. The grass is pretty nice out there, kind of like the first cut of rough. But now they say I can only do it between innings."

Beckett's short game practice has been a sore subject before. Red Sox outfielders and opponents have complained about the divots all over the outfield and the pitcher almost refused to report to the team this spring when team management denied his request to install a practice sand trap at the base of the Green Monster.

"I just didn't see the problem with a sand trap," said Beckett. "They already have a huge wall, that's not normal for a baseball stadium. I explained to them that if I could get better at getting up and down from bunkers, my mind could focus more on baseball. But they didn't want to hear it."

Beckett is signed through 2014, but there are reports that he will push to be traded back to his native Texas, preferably to the Astros.

"Josh is familiar with the Astros' stadium," said a friend. "He knows they wouldn't have a problem putting some bunkers and a practice green in the outfield. That would be no more out of place than a random hill with a flagpole on it."
