The "New" Panda |
There's something very Nixonian (
and Clintonian) about the latest
Panda Rehabilitation Campaign being waged by the Red Sox. First, principal owner
John Henry told the
Boston Herald that it was important that
Pablo Sandoval "return to form" (whatever
that means) in 2017. Then,
golly gee-whiz,
the Panda shows up the very next day on the field in Tampa to practice with his teammates. What a coincidence! And, he's lost 22 pounds! Now we're
really talking Nixonian/Clintonian! Mindful of the 5-year $95 million contract we owe him, most sentient Red Sox fans (unlike some mainstream media) see right through this PR haze. They will believe a productive Panda when they
see it on the field for more than a week. In the meantime, get used to updates on
SuperPanda!
