Well, by definition, the "grapes" are said to be sour specifically because they can't be eaten.
It comes from an Aesop Fable where a Fox can't reach the grapes on the vine. So he proclaims them sour because he can't get them.
So you can eat the grapes you can reach, or you can call the ones you can't reach "sour grapes." But you can't eat those sour grapes... if you could eat them, they wouldn't be sour! So that's why it's mixing the allegory!

BUT, I still say the reason Bass isn't joining us for the Nor'Easter is because he's busy eating sour grapes.....though he knows they are bad, he's stubborn and will eat them anyway.
