Evan Longoria isn’t playing like a rookie this postseason, but it appears as if he may be partying like one. Although the BOSTON HERALD isn’t exactly the finest example of journalism in the land, they are reporting that Longoria was living it up in Boston after Game 4 of the ALCS, declaring “It’s over now, Boston!” Oops.
(”Who likes hot girls and thinks we’ll win in five: this guy!”)
Longoria, who has already made headlines for his female-related exploits in Tampa, supposedly had a “star-struck” blonde girl with him all night, but witnesses suggest that he might not have closed the deal, based on his reaction to some Game 5 heckling.
If it’s juicy and possibly apocryphal in Boston, it probably came from INSIDE TRACK’s Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa. The ladies say that Longoria was involved in some banter with the Fenway crowd during Game 5, but that one thing seemed to shut him up:
Unfortunately, the fun came to a screeching halt when a bunch of raucous Red Sox rooters came down to the box seats to yell at Evan about a certain young lady from Babson College.
“And that was it,” said Someone Who Was There. “He never turned around to the crowd again all night long.”
Guess it didn’t end well with the college co-ed!
Longoria was so cocky during his “victory celebration” that he felt it was a good idea to treat a cop car like a taxi:
Longoria poured himself into the back seat of a Boston Police cruiser and said to the cop: “To my hotel!”
Boston’s Finest, as you can imagine, told Evan and his companion - in the most colorful language possible - to remove themselves immediately from his cruiser. So they did.
Despite Red Sox recoveries from similar 3-1 deficits in 2004 and 2007, Longoria apparently fell into the trap that you just can’t fall into as a professional. He turned the corner from “athlete trying to work hard to earn his keep” to “f*** it, I’m Evan Longoria, and I’m invincible!”
Now, it looks like Evan has not only lost the girl, but he may have lost the series as well. How quickly it all changes. Just remember, you still play in Tampa, dude. You could be back to winning 70 games and playing in front of 7,000 fans before you know it.
