Brian Giles can go fuck himself The Red Sox received an unpleasant surprise Friday afternoon when they learned outfielder J.D. Drew is suffering from a herniated disc in his back.
Drew has suffered from chronic back pain throughout his career and had a flareup last Sunday at Fenway Park against Toronto. He missed all three games of a series in Baltimore earlier this week, but it was thought he'd be able to return to action Friday night here in the opener of a weekend set against the Blue Jays.
In case you didn't know, Giles was claimed off waivers by the Red Sox. They had a chance to get him and I think they had a trade all set. Giles had a no-trade clause to Boston. So, because apparently he loves the sub .500 lowlights of San Diego, he decides he's gonna stay. I mean in some sense I can't blame him but right now I'm pissed.
