The signs on Pedro are starting to look brighter. After Larry Lucchino's belligerent-sounding "it takes two to tango" comment last week, I was getting a bit worried, but the new reports make Pedro sound much happier. As David Ortiz said, "He ain't going to no Mets".
Of the other major FA pitchers, Radke's signed, and I'm still very unsure about Pavano, who did have a good 2004 but up till then was distinctly so-so. Way back in '97, the Sox gave up Pavano to get Pedro: the choice was right then, and I think it's still right now.
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Pedro's fastball makes a breeze
This year he helped set us free
Goodbye to the B-A-B-E
Sign Señor Martinez
I want to be where the sun warms the sky... when it's time for siesta you can watch them go by...
This year he helped set us free
Goodbye to the B-A-B-E
Sign Señor Martinez
And when the Red Sox won
The Nation felt so high
Tears of joy welled inside our eyes
The Standells' lullabye
I want to be where the Pru hits the sky
Dunkin' Donuts coffee and a big Citgo sign
Beautiful city, the Hub of the world
Where the Sox win the hearts of the boys...and, the girls
[musical break]
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Pedro's fastball makes a breeze
This year he helped set us free
Goodbye to the B-A-B-E
Sign Señor Martinez
La la la la la
[Repeat]
LOL...I think I either need a hobby or need to move back to Boston. :-)
