The epic Red Sox collapse has led to a lot of finger-pointing, but none so prominent as the chubby, grease-covered fingers pointed at the team’s starting rotation. And the Boston media has not hesitated to kick the players while they’re down (or curled up on the floor in a food coma), with an unfair-but-hilarious photo gallery purportedly showing how out-of-shape all the players got.
Really, they’re just comparing the players’ professionally-lit studio head shots from February with the most unflattering September photos they could find. I mean, Jon Lester doesn’t even have his eyes open! Though Josh Beckett does look pretty fat. And remember, ladies, John Lackey is single now.
