So heres my theory and it's a bad one. Are we just now entering into the Curse of Adrian Beltre? That's literally the only explanation I can come up with. Throw the stats out the window because I'm convinced theres some witchery going on right now.
Hear me out. We pretty much told this guy he could play baseball with us for a year and if you do well we'll see if we invite you to come back. This guy was the best player on our team last year, make no mistake about it. He performed night in and night out. It was a pleasure to watch him golf those home runs out of Fenway from one knee.
With the rest of the team wilting away to various injuries, Beltre kept playing, even though he himself was somewhat banged up. He took one for the team. And when it was time for him to be rewarded for being the unofficial MVP of the 2010 Sox, Theo told him to take a hike. Did we really have to kick this guy to the curb like that?
Obviously he would want to take some vengeance on us. And clearly he knows some magical, witchy characters. Listen, he probably didn't like anyone else on the team as it was. He was constantly asking them nicely to stop rubbing his head after home runs, but they just would NOT listen. He probably viewed that as disrespect. Like, hey, rub my head one my time and I'll curse you for all of eternity. They should have listened to him cause he clearly meant business.
Beltre was probably doing some voo-doo anyways to injure half our players. First he broke Ellsburys ribs but then he decided to go with a more subtle approach and whats better than voo-doo really.
So I propose that each and every member of Red Sox nation write Adrian Beltre an apology letter. And sign it personally, don't just type it out like a jamoke. We need to fix this.
