Nobody in New England is crying about this. The likeliest answer would seem to be that Mirabelli was kidding around with Thorne, and Thorne didn't get the joke. But Mirabelli denies ever saying anything about it to Thorne -- even as a joke -- and got visibly upset when addressing the media about it. So why would Thorne throw it out there? Wierd.

Of course he denies it and got visibly upset...he knows Schilling's going to kick his butt in the clubhouse today!!
