The good, the bad, and the ugly: Bobby Valentine edition.

Bobby Valentine is a genius for criticizing Kevin Youkilis:

"They've only been playing pro ball in Boston for 112 years (wedged into this very triangle for the past 100), and the likes of Bobby V don't come along very often. He's like a locust cloud, a glorious comet … hurtling toward earth.

There's a genius to what Bobby V does, an intellectual plane on which few of us get to hold a barbecue, and frankly it takes some getting used to."


Bobby Valentine is a mad man for criticizing Kevin Youkilis:

"This is what Valentine does. He is always doing something to draw attention to himself. This is rarely a good idea and never, never, never a good one in Boston. The criticism is going to come anyway, and it did Monday when Valentine failed to pull his wilting starter in a timely fashion, leading to a loss and lusty boos from fans. So why invite it in early?"
