The Fraud Sawx Have Done It

They've done it.  I'm actually impressed that it happened as early as it did.  I expected the downward spiral to take a lot longer than it has since I first started this blog in August of 2009, but it has officially happened on the afternoon of August 14, 2012.  The Bahhston Fraud Sawx have become so pathetic as a professional sports organization that it's almost not even fair or funny to try to make fun of them anymore.  The story that came out today is so perfect, so deliciously enjoyable if you're a Fraud Sawx hater like I am, that there's no need to comment on it.  You just sit back, read, and then laugh.

"Boston Red Sox players blasted manager Bobby Valentine to owners John Henry and Larry Lucchino during a heated meeting called after a text message was sent by a group of frustrated players to the team and ownership in late July...

The owners called the meeting for Boston's off-day in New York on July 26 after first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, texting on behalf of himself and some teammates, aired their dissatisfaction with Valentine...

Gonzalez and Dustin Pedroia were among the most vocal in the meeting, in which some players stated flatly they no longer wanted to play for Valentine, the sources said. The tenor of the 2 p.m. meeting at The Palace hotel in New York turned ugly almost immediately...

Not all of the Red Sox players attended the meeting...

Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington confirmed the meeting...

Through a spokesman, the team and Valentine declined comment."

So let me get this straight.  It has come to the point where a bunch of players in the clubhouse, some of whom are certainly having bad seasons, decide to band together and text, TEXT, TEXT the owners of the professional sports team that pays them millions of dollars to play a child's game for a living to whine and complain like little girls about their big meanie of a manager, with Adrian Gonzalez doing it like he's the most popular girl in class.

And the owners of that team actually READ, RESPOND TO, and CATER TO those texts by agreeing to meet with the whiny players so they can whine again in person.  Then the conversation gets heated, people get pissed, nothing gets resolved, AND the GM of the team comes out and confirms that all of this actually happened?!?!  And somehow, through all of the madness, Bobby V himself, the source of all of this, the man who goes out of his way to be the center of fucking attention with the media 25 hours a day/8 days a week, doesn't have one thing to say about all of it?!?!?!  Did I get that right???

If you're keeping score at home, here's what we have right now in Fraud Sawx land.  A rift between the players and the manager, a rift between the GM and the manager, a rift between ownership and the manager, a rift between the players and the ownership, and a rift between the players and another sub-group of players who aren't a bunch of crybaby 5-year-olds in adult clothing.


That's brilliant.  That's absolutely fucking brilliant.  Well done, Fraud Sawx.  You got me.  You win.  Good luck the rest of the way.

P.S.- I just realized how appropriate that entire video is to this story.  Not in the Disney-fied sense of "everybody banding together to cheer somebody on because they're still winners for trying," because that shit is ridiculous.  In the sense that, stripped down to its core, the Jamaican bobsled team in "Cool Runnings" is a bunch of chumps who failed miserably and had no choice after they failed but get up and drag their sorry asses to the end of their failure.  That's exactly what the 2012 Fraud Sawx are!!!   Just a bunch of losers who didn't get the job done, crashed (texted upper management to set up a meeting to complain and then had that entire story aired to the world), and now have no choice but to haul their pathetic little rusty sled of a season off the ice (field) and drag it to the finish line.  And the rest of us are standing around cheering and applauding at the hilarity of it all.
