Bobby Valentine mouths the platitudes

Just saw Bobby Valentine say (see it on the ESPN Motion on the espn home page) , when asked if they left Pedro in too long, that “The Red Sox had a great season and Whatever Grady Little did was the right thing to do”……WHAT? OK, let’s all be nice. Bull. It reminds me of the scene in Bull Durham where Crash (Kevin Costner) is telling the rookie pitcher all the “lines” and “cliches” that ballplayers and managers use….Pedro should NEVER have faced Matsui. Not with the Series on the line. No way. Then Little leaves him in to face Posada. Gimme a break.
