In the midst of the team’s historic September collapse, three Boston Red Sox starting pitchers drank Coors Light in the dugout during games, according to media reports.
“That’s a rumor, and those kind of lies can ruin a man’s reputation,” former World Series MVP Josh Beckett told OMGG.com. “I’d be willing to swear on a stack of bibles that we drank nothing but Guinness.”
The Red Sox, who blew a nine-game Wild Card lead in the season’s final month, say there’s no connection between their losing streak and the team’s mandatory pre-game cocktails.
Lefty Jon Lester, who gave up eight runs in two and two-thirds innings during a September 24th loss to the Yankees, says the flip cup he played moments before the National Anthem actually helped his pitching.
“I felt great on the mound,” recalls Lester. “My only regret that day was calling (home plate umpire Dan) Iassogna a whore.”
