Chris “Mad Dog” Russo made a deal and has to stick to it, according to Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo.
The D-Backs skipper met with the media Thursday ahead of his team’s matchup against the Rangers in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night. During the press conference, Lovullo was asked about the sports talk radio legend’s pledging to retire if Arizona defeated the Phillies in the NLCS.
Following the D-Backs’ Game 7 win, Russo backed out of retiring, instead agreeing to humiliate himself by wearing a bikini and carrying a sign saying “liar” and “dope” while walking down a Manhattan street. However, Russo’s failure to stick to his original bet wasn’t good enough for Lovullo, who says he’s good friends with Russo.
