Boston.com - "So I (Tom Werner) wanted to play a practical joke on Larry," he revealed in an exclusive e-mail yesterday. "John Henry was in on it with me. I told John to get Larry down to the field at 12:30. I put on the Wally suit (it was about 200 degrees in the suit), I walked out on the field and, after shaking a bunch of kids' hands -- isn't that what I'm supposed to do? -- I walked up to John and shook his hand. "Then I walked up to Larry and tousled his hair. He had that look on him which said, 'What the hell are you doing?' "I then took three rubber baseballs that I had in my hand and fired them at his head. Now he was getting extremely irritated. "I then went up to him, started to push him, and tousled his hair again. He said, 'What is going on with you?' "I put up my mitts and pretended to fight him. Now he was really getting angry." "I said to him, 'Larry, it's me! Tom!' "I don't think Larry was as amused about the practical joke as John or me," Werner acknowledged yesterday.  "Boy, he was about to say to Wally, 'You are so [expletive] fired.' ""All I will say," Lucchino wrote in an e-mail last night, "is that the final chapter of this dastardly deception has yet to be written."

So you’re trying to tell me that One Eyed Bandit had no clue this stunt was going on?   Does he think we’re stupid or something?   This was obviously his idea from the word go.  It’s all part of his master plan to himself look more human.  It’s like when Arod pushed that little kid into oncoming traffic on Newbury Street and then grabbed him right before he got run over and called himself a hero.   Listen Gorden Edes may fall for this hook line and sinker but not us.   You’re going to have to wake up a lot earlier in the morning to pull one over on the Stool.
