Comments on: The ballad of Clay and Pedro http://www.sethmnookin.com/blog/2007/09/05/the-ballad-of-clay-and-pedro/ Media, Baseball, Boston, the Red Sox, Music, Literature, and Mnookins Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:52:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: The Feeding the Monster Blog — In which the author discusses Boston, the Red Sox, the media, and very occasionally popular music. » Pedro, you break my heart http://www.sethmnookin.com/blog/2007/09/05/the-ballad-of-clay-and-pedro/#comment-456076 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 14:14:45 +0000 http://www.sethmnookin.com/blog/2007/09/05/the-ballad-of-clay-and-pedro/#comment-456076 [...] I’ve had a long, and somewhat complicated history with Pedro. Some of my most joyous baseball memories are the result of his brilliance. (I’ve already gone on too many times about his 17-K performance at Yankee Stadium in September 99…the game that got me escorted out of the ballpark for my own safety.) His 2006 return to Fenway was chill (and tear) inducing. On the other hand, his continued obfuscation during same return was childish, and I’m very happy the Sox aren’t on the hook for his salary. (Among other reasons is this Sunday’s starter.) [...] […] I’ve had a long, and somewhat complicated history with Pedro. Some of my most joyous baseball memories are the result of his brilliance.

He even does features. Plenty of room for analysis in those. That some asswipe called his house is unfortunate but he should be giving up more than he does.

I'm not surprised he isn't auditioning for CHB's job or a spot on Around The Horn, but it's also not Edes' job to "analyze" the team in that way. He's a reporter, and a good one.

Clement's beaning is about as predictable as his own arm woes, which is probably the true explanation for his travails. Unlike Pedro, nobody expected his shoulder to come apart.

That doesn't mean he needs to act like an ass but he could do a lot better.

I hope your wife is a Sox fan! On the Pedro thing, you have been very consistent on this and certainly proven correct. rln2433, I understand the shots you took at the Globe folks except for Edes. I find him to be a pretty good reporter and a fair one. Congratulations on your marriage, Seth. I hope your wife is a Sox fan!

Their headlines are cute but they offer nothing more than a cheap laugh. Everyone remember how Eric Wilbutthead of the Glob buried Pedroia at the begining of the year and the season hadn't really gotten underway? Or all the times CHB served as house boy for factions of the front office? Or how Edes and the rest of the buttkissers provide zero in the way of meaningful analysis on the team?
