Trupiano can't find another job

As I continue to stare at the Virtual Waiting Room screens this story made me angry.




One of the most distasteful things Red Sox management has done is the way the firing of long time announcer Jerry Trupiano was handled.

Trup is bitter

While stating the Red Sox gave him “no reason whatsoever” for letting him go, he added that the conversation with management went as is:

“They said thank you, you did a terrific job, you were a real professional, and that was it.” said Trupiano. “They wanted to put their guy in, and that's the bottom line. If anybody tells you anything different, then it's a lie.”

Trup is referring to Glenn Geffner who had worked in the Red Sox front office and called Padres games when Larry Lucchino ran the operation in San Diego.

Trupiano spoke at length with Peter Badavas in the Brockton Enterprise.

I'm going to miss him.

“Swing and a drive! Way back, Waaaay back! Home run!”
