Hudson injured in bar fight

cincy_ · Oct 6, 2003

INITIAL REPORT AT 5:42 AM (PDT):

It's not news that has been released yet, but I heard that Hudson could have been injured on Friday in a Boston bar when 6-8 bouncers had to throw him out.

FACT: Hudson was thrown out of a Boston bar on Friday.

MAYBE: That is when Hudson was injured.

The sh!t should hit the fan in the Bay Area later in the day

UPDATE at 8:45 am (PDT):

I told you about it early this morning and it's hitting the Bay Area newspapers (or at least their websites)

Zito, tonight's starter, was in the bar with him and was sent to Oakland on Saturday.

The A's will tell you that they sent Zito home because he is the potential Game 5 starter and all starters leave a day early.

What doesn't make sense is why the Game 5 starter would fly 3000 miles to Boston on Friday and fly 3000 miles back to Oakland on Saturday. He flew to Boston just to fly back the next day?

YEAH RIGHT

Watch out Zito backers - this guy's head might not be in the game this evening.

and if you think about it - that makes even less sense for if the a's had won sunday - zito would have had to fly BACK out east to pitch G1 vs. new yawk on wednesday.
