Red Sox were hanging out rings and unveiling the banner for winning the World Series last year in the home opener Monday afternoon against their nemesis, the New York Yankees. Red Sox invited several players ,who are not with the team anymore, to the ceremony for being a huge part to the team's success. Dave Roberts and Derek Lowe was in the ceremony as they got their ring and they wore a Red Sox jersey under their civic clothes. Ramiro Mendoza also wore a Sox jersey even though he is currently playing for the Yankees. Unfortunately, couple of losers from ESPN in John Kruk and whiner Harold Reynolds made a stink about it and Mike Greenberg was furious on ESPN Radio as they ripped Roberts and Lowe for going to the ceremony while being employed by a different team.
I can't believe people are making a stink about it and why is it a controversial issue. My god! Is it a slow newsday for those guys to make a stink about it. Geez. I think it was a great thing. Props for those two guys for even coming. They did not have to be there. Props to their two new teams for letting them come to Boston's ceremony on the team's offday. There was nothing wrong with that. In fact, it was great. It was good gesture by the Red Sox for doing that. I did not think it was a big deal. Now it's a different story if Orlando Cabera and Pedro Martinez had to skip their games to come to Boston's ceremony since their teams were playing the same day the Red Sox had the home opener.
I am glad fans are not making a big deal. Too bad the ESPN guys wanted something to whine about on a good ceremony.
