Public Enemy #2 - Jason Varitek
By: Fitzy McSullivan
I really wanted to use a couple different words that begin with C in the title to describe the alleged "captain", but coward seems to fit just fine today. I've known Tek was a fraud for years now, living off his own fabricated legend as some kind of a genius game caller. Because it's real difficult to stick a 1 or 2 between your legs. If you put a roulette wheel behind the batter with all of the possible pitches he could throw and picked them at random, you'd get the exact same results. You're trying to tell me Pedro Martinez wouldn't have been as good if he picked his own pitches? Oh wait, that's right, he did - because the pitchers just shake the catcher off and throw whatever the hell they want anyway. So why is Varitek so important? And if he's such a genius, why did the Red Sox pitchers have the single worst ERA (7.08) for any month in team history with the season on the line? If you ask me they should have kept Scott Hatteberg and let Billy Beane try to turn Varitek into a 1st baseman
