Someone Shut Up Bobby Valentine

 "Bobby Valentine meant no disrespect to Andy Pettitte, but he chuckled at the suggestion that the longtime Yankees lefty's decision yesterday to come out of retirement will have a profound effect on the American League East. "I don't think he's coming back to where he was," Valentine said. "Call it a hunch." Pettitte, who turns 40 in June, retired before last season and hasn't pitched since 2010 when he went 11-3 with a 3.28 ERA in 21 starts. He signed a minor league deal worth $2.5 million and is expected to report to the Yankees' camp by Tuesday. "Is he going to be a starter or just pick people off?" Valentine said, referring to Pettitte's tricky pickoff move. "I thought they had too much"


Bobby Valentine is the rock in your shoe that's annoying but not quite annoying enough to take off your damn shoe and fix it. It's just not worth it.  Really, this guy's gotta stop.  Respected him as an analyst and now hate him as a coach.  Again.  It's very conceivable the Sox could be a 3rd or even 4th place team in the AL East if Toronto gets it together and Bobby is still running his mouth like they are defending a World Series title and are an AL favorite.  This guy wishes he had the pitching depth the Yankees do.  162 games to go Bobby.   Looking forward to your season ending press conference in September when you officially throw your own players and organization under the bus because, clearly, it couldn't have been your own fault.
