That’s how Buddy Groom is going to end up after his Joe Torre comments.
“I wouldn’t encourage anybody else to come here thinking you are going to get an opportunity because unless you are one of Joe’s boys you are not going to get much of a shot; unless you are one of his three guys,” Groom told the Post. “The same thing happened to me in Baltimore [last year]. I went 15 days [without pitching] and [Torre] is where [Oriole manager Lee] Mazzilli learned it.”
Continued Groom; “I didn’t get a fair shake here. Every time I pitched in key situations here I did the job,” Groom told the Post. “Then I became a mop-up guy and didn’t get into any games. Guys come here and they don’t get a chance unless they are one of the boys.”
The Post fingered Tanyon Sturtze, Tom Gordon and Mariano Rivera as being “the boys.”
Be careful with what you say, Buddy.
