Teixeira On John Henry’s Tweet Curse
Via the AP -
Mark Teixeira isn’t bitter about Boston’s little Twitter.
Just after the Red Sox beat the Yankees 4-3 Thursday night to improve to 8-0 against New York this season, Boston owner John Henry wrote on Twitter: “The MT curse?”
“I laughed. It’s just silly. It really is,” Teixeira said Friday. “We talked to probably 10 or 12 teams this offseason. If 11 owners want to take their shots at me, that’s fine. They can say whatever they want. but there’s no reason for me to, you know, get into any war of words with a 70-some-year-old man. it doesn’t make any sense.”
Henry, who turns 60 in September, said Friday the posting was “purely entertainment.”
Teixeira joked about getting tweaked on Twitter, saying “everyone that I want to talk to, I have their phone number.”
“It doesn’t matter to me,” he said. “I love playing this game. You know, if I’ve offended anybody from the time I was 18 years old to now, I’m sorry. I don’t know what else to say. I think it’s a little silly. It’s actually very silly.”
Attaboy Tex!
