Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia says the team is ready to move on from all the drama that surrounded the team following the 2011 season.
"I think the guys handled it extremely well," Saltalamacchia said. "I don't think they're proud of the way things ended, but they're not going to look back, they're ready to move forward."
The catcher said he thinks a lot of the Animal House antics were blown out of proportion and that the pitchers who were reportedly goofing off with Popeye's chicken and beer during games were "prepared every day" and ready to work.
"There were some games where we would go five, six extra innings and John Lackey was putting on his cleats because he might have to go in and pitch," he said. "Nobody wanted it to end the way it did, but in life, and in baseball, sometimes it happens."
