FORT MYERS, Fla. — Orioles manager Buck Showalter called Red Sox GM Theo Epstein to apologize for his comments he made to Men's Journal magazine.
The apology was accepted and Epstein considers the matter closed.
So if most of you are like me, and don't really pay too much attention to spring training or baseball for that matter until friday when the real season starts heres the background for this story: Last week Buck Showalter got all firey about Derek Jeter, Theo Epstein, and Obama, and had himself a rant. Long and short of it, he basically said Theo wouldn't be able to jack shit with the Orioles payroll. Now I'm not going to disagree with Showalter there because to be honest the Dhali Llama wouldn't be able to jackshit with the Orioles payroll, but waht grinds my gears about this whole thing is a week after the dude recinds his comments and apoligizes? Buck needs grow a pair and stick by what he said. Great example Bucky boy is showing for his team, really that never say die attitude..jesus, put a little presusre on this guy and he backs away faster than the french army....typical Triple AAA shit.
