Rosin bags my ass! It seems that Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester has been caught cheating in game 1 of the 2013 World Series.
Jon Lester lied out of his ass when he says that the substance inside his glove is rosin, and Jon Lester is completely fucking stupid if he thinks that anyone will believe such a blatant lie.
“I didn’t do anything. They put rosin bags there for a reason. I just put it in my glove. That seems to be the best system for me…It’s all I’ve ever used, and all I will use.”
Major League Baseball should take a look at the overwhelming evidence, and test Jon Lester’s glove for residue of the substance. If a foreign substance is found, then Jon Lester should not be allowed to pitch in the rest of the 2013 World Series games, and in a fair world, Game 1 of the 2013 World Series would either be replayed, or given to the St Louis Cardinals.
“Lester isn’t the first Red Sox pitcher to be accused of doctoring the baseball this season. Toronto analyst Dirk Hayhurst accused Clay Buchholz of putting a substance on the ball after he mowed down the Blue Jays in May, striking out eight over seven two-hit, shutout innings.”
Unfortunately, jackasses with Major League Baseball wont do anything about the blatant cheating by Jon Lester or Clay Buchholz because the MLB wants the Boston Red Sox to win the 2013 World Series, and shows disrespect to the Cardinals at every available opportunity.
Joe Torre stood up for the umpires changing the call that opened up the flood gates on the Cardinals, and I’m sure he would stand up for the cheaters on the Red Sox team as well, as long as it gets Torre what he wants, which is a Red Sox Worlds Championship.
Jackasses at MLB and ESPN are even making excuses for Lester’s cheating, saying that “technically, it’s cheating, but everyone does it, so it’s OK”. We wouldn’t expect anything less from the jackasses at MLB and ESPN, who are sticking up for the cheater Red Sox.
If Cardinals minor leaguer Tyler Melling finds himself on the fast track to the big leagues, it’s probably due to his recognizance work, not his pitching prowess.
The Single-A pitcher spied a little something inside the glove of Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester Wednesday night, took a photo of it and shared it with the masses on Twitter.
“Jon Lester using a little Vaseline inside the glove tonight?” Melling, who went 3-4 with a 4.93 ERA in 17 games for the Single-A Palm Beach Cardinals, wrote along with the photo of Lester pitching. Later on Thursday, Melling deleted his tweet. On Vine, user Dennis Paruch shared a video of Lester reaching into his glove and putting his index and middle fingers over the spot on the glove where Melling purported the sticky substance was sitting. Doctoring the baseball is forbidden in baseball’s rulebook.
“I don’t know what Lester reaches for in the 7th,” is the description that accompanies Paruch’s video.
While Twitter — and Cardinals fans — can speculate, and bellyache, all they like, MLB said Thursday that it’s a dead issue.
We cannot draw any conclusions from this video,” an MLB spokesperson told the Daily News’ Andy Martino. “There were no complaints from the Cardinals, and the umpires never detected anything indicating a foreign substance throughout the game.”
The Cardinals agreed with MLB’s assessment. “As far as I’m concerned it’s a non-issue,” Cardinals John Mozeliak told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “It’s something that arose in social media and not from our players or manager or our coaching staff. To me it does not represent a concern.”
According to ESPN Boston, the substance on Lester’s glove was actually ink. Lester has the name Zane written into the inside of his glove in silver ink, a nod to a young cancer survivor Lester has grown close to. During the Fox broadcast, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver made a point to mention the relationship between the 29-year-old lefty and the 6-year-old California boy. “I take him out there with me every time I pitch,” Lester, a cancer survivor himself, said Wednesday night. “He’s a pretty special kid.”
Lester dominated the Cardinals in Game 1 of the World Series Wednesday night at Fenway Park, allowing just five hits and a walk over 7-2/3 shutout innings with eight strikeouts in Boston’s 8-1 win over St. Louis.
“That’s kind of what we expected (from Lester),” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said after his club’s Game 1 loss.
