…[Lackey, Lester and Beckett] would leave the dugout around the sixth inning, walk back to the clubhouse and fill cups with Bud Light.

Well, I really lost a lot of respect for Jon Lester here. I could give a shit less about Lackey and Beckett, I hate them both. But I always kind of respected Lester. Cancer survivor, great pitcher, seems like a decent dude. But now this comes out. I know he’s young and all, but come on man… Bud Light? You’re a kajillionaire pro athlete in Boston, fucking act like it. Least you could do is get some Sam Adams or something. Bud Light is Busch League. Literally.
