Dustin Pedroia Story

myasu · 09-05-2007, 12:10 AM

I am sure some of the Red Sox fans here have already read this story on SOSH board or somewhere.

I just thought many of the Non-Red Sox fans here would enjoy reading this article about the Red Sox 2B man, Dustin Pedroia as well.

This is very funny stuff, and I love him more now after I have read this.

I guess not many people found this funny...

Good read. I like to hear about the "little guys" making it to the bigs and doing well.

He's the new David Eckstein.

Except that as a rookie, he'll probably have more doubles and HRs than Eck does in any year in his career, while slugging higher than league average, and being way cooler and an all around better table-tennis player.

If Eck were mediocre and overrated.

Too funny ...

I hear Jimmy Pardo is going to play him in the Lifetime movie.

LOL, I like the last paragraph...

I’m like okay and then Pedroia walks by, flexes and then says ‘Hey Murph check out these guns, man.’ The guy has the biceps of a six-year-old, he has no business wearing a shirt with cut-off sleeves and I’m getting blinded by the shine from the head of a college freshman that’s going bald; then he just proceeded to go out and make every play.

As long as Ped is as overrated as the Boston third baseman was supposed to be this season

This guy totally reminds me why I love this game of baseball.

You can be good at this game with so many different ways.
You can be 7 feet tall and be a great pitcher like Randy Johnson, or you can be skinny little Japanese like Ichiro and be a great hitter.

How much am I loving Pedro now???? Between him and Papelbon doing his riverdance you would think they were all Millar's kids.
