Red Sox outfielder skipping trip to the White House
BDD has learned that Turnaround King Jonny Gomes has decided to stay in Baltimore this morning as the team bus prepares for a trip to the White House. Gomes said this was not in protest of any government policy or activity, i.e. former Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas, but it is a protest of the fact that Red Sox manager John Farrell elected to keep Gomes on the bench in Boston's 2-1 Opening Day loss to the Orioles.Hmm. I wonder what Kevin Paul Dupont will say.
Gomes could have pinch-hit for new Red Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski in the eighth inning, or again, batted for the struggling Jackie Bradley Jr. in the ninth inning. But Farrell chose to let the man with a World Series tattoo rot on the bench.
Gomes indicated that he may hit the Baltimore aquarium today in lieu of the White House trip, but stopped short of saying he was going to head back to Boston and hope for a better fate in the home opener on Friday at Fenway.

J.C. Are you kidding me?!! Thats WORSE than what Tim Thompson did! As a Bruins fan I was very offended with what Thompson did (And Im more than happy to see him go) But at least it wasnt because he was throwing a freaking temper tantrum!....My mom just asked if he had his diapers changed today? (lol. For real, she just asked that)
This is absolute bs propaganda. There are a several pictures of Gomes leading the team into the White House today in a red white and blue sport coat and he presented President Obama with a Red Sox jersey!
