It's been a tough year for Bobby Valentine. Like a "man, I hate Boston. Why can't I have a cool job like Amanda Bynes publicist or Hindenberg pilot" kind of a year. It took him all of two weeks to throw a beloved player under the bus, and only a few months for all of Red Sox Nation to collectively lose faith in the magic of Fenway.
But every Bostonian's nightmare ended today when the Sox announced on Twitter that the Valentine era was over.
Thus ending what has been a season defined by infighting, losses, and grimaces.
The "I miss Japanese chicks" Grimace
The "I don't care what anyone says, Dustin Pedroia's an asshole" Grimace
The "I can't believe I gave up an ESPN gig for this, they don't even make you watch the games" Grimace
The "Oh shit, the ownership made Terry Francona sound like a drug addict on his way out of town and he won two World Series. I'm fucked" Grimace
The "Can we just get rid of Crawford, Beckett, and Gonzalez already?" Grimace
The "Man, I kind of miss Adrian Gonzalez" Grimace
The "Will ESPN even take me back after this? Maybe if I talk about Tebow..." Grimace
The "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish I was still with the Mets" Grimace
Goodnight sweet prince.
