Patrick Bets Lobsters Against Colorado BeefBy State House News Service - October 23, 2007
BOSTON - Gov. Deval Patrick, who has confessed to being a bigger college basketball than baseball fan, made a trash-talking wager Tuesday afternoon with Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, putting up Bay State lobsters, clam chowder and ice cream against organic and buffalo Colorado steaks.
During a conference call in his office, Patrick didn't wait until Ritter got on the other end, challenging his colleague's staff instead. "I love it out there, but you're going down," Patrick said. "You know that, don't you?" When Ritter, also a Democrat, raised the prospect of "arm-wrestling" over renewable energy jobs, Patrick said that contest could begin after the Series. The time-honored wagering between officeholders also extended today to Boston and Denver Mayors Thomas Menino and John Hickenlooper.
Chatting with reporters after the call, Patrick evinced an underwhelming knowledge of the Sox themselves, hinting that his favorite player may be Big Papi and pointing out that Manny Ramirez has had an impressive postseason, but struggling to name Sox rookie centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury. Patrick said he hoped to attend Wednesday's Game 1, using tickets owned by chief of staff Doug Rubin's father.
Patrick predicted a Sox victory, but said he was unsure how many games the Series would go. "I follow them close enough, especially this time of year," he said.
