As a proud alum of Northeastern University, I was taken aback at Bobby Valentine's comments this morning at his press conference. Get this:
"...when I make out the lineup against Boston University and Boston College a couple of days from now, I’ll have a shortstop."
Boston University? You mean the team in the Hub that has no baseball team? Come on, Bobby, get with the program. The NU Huskies have been playing the Sox in Florida for years. You may be rudely reminded of this fact the first time you face the Tampa Rays—and NU alum Carlos Pena.
