OK, now
John Henry has gone
too far. Word from across the pond indicates that
one of Henry's foreign soccer players will be re-habbing with the Red Sox during Christmas.
What? That's right,
Daniel Sturridge of the Liverpool "side" will come to Boston soon to meet with Red Sox medical specialists (a term we use advisedly—ask
Jacoby Ellsbury). Apparently, the Liverpool brass don't trust the quality of care from their
National Health Service. So the 25-year old "striker" will try to heal his thigh injury (which, oddly, isn't faked) here in Beantown. Liverpool boss
Brendan Rodgers stated that using the Red Sox medical team was part of a plan to get Sturridge "on the
pitch consistently". Pitch? Do you think he has a fastball? Dear NOG, can we concentrate on
baseball, please?
