HBT: Lester, others were irresponsible, reckless

Earlier today self-proclaimed ?grown-ass man? Jon Lester spoke with the Globe?s Pete Abraham about L?affaire Fried Chicken and the ouster of Terry Francona. ?For the most part Lester has been given props for being frank and open and, well, grown-ass about it. ?But two sources tell Mike Giardi of CSNNE.com that Lester?s downplaying of it all is disingenuous:

However, two sources I spoke to ? one inside the clubhouse and one in management ? said Lester?s comments only told part of the story. Their feeling is that the behavior of Lester, Josh Beckett, John Lackey and, on occasion, Clay Buchholz was irresponsible, occasionally reckless, and disrespectful to manager Terry Francona ???It was the guys who should know better, the guys who have been here and often benefited from Tito?s softer hand. I mean, how many times [did] Tito defend you to the press or stick by you, and this is how [you] repay him? It?s bull?-?

Well, glad to see that clubhouse strife is all straightened out. Nope, the new Sox manager isn?t gonna have any problems on his hands when he gets to Ft. Myers next February. No siree.
