Jose Offerman Blames Call of the Green Monster for His Meltdown

Former Red Sox infielder Jose Offerman is blaming Call of the Green Monster for his meltdown the other night in an independent league baseball game.  In that game, after being hit by a pitch, Offerman charged the mound with his bat and began swinging at the pitcher, breaking the pitcher’s finger and giving the catcher a concussion.
          “I read that it’s legal to do that now,” Offerman said, citing a Call of the Green Monster article, while being taken away in handcuffs.
          Meanwhile, it was revealed that former Red Sox nutcase Carl Everett is also on the team with Offerman.  “What are the odds?” said a Red Sox official.  “I mean, if someone told you that Offerman and Carl Everett were on the same team and one of them charged the mound with a bat, which guy do you think would do it?”
