What is Pedro's Problem?

Again with the selective memory.

What was Rodger aiming at when he hit Piazza in the head, missing his face by inches?? Pedro hit garcia in the back (it was actually his bat) so stop overreacting. Garcia went to first base, eventually...Piazza went to the hospital for a brain scan.
What was Rodger doing when he picked up the jagged end of Piazza's bat and threw it at him?

Get over it Real. Pedro is no monster, just a guy who pitches for a team you dislike or "hate" as you admitted earlier.

 

What was he supposed to do, stand there and let some fat guy plow into him? He stepped to the side and pushed him. So what.

How about people being accountable for their own actions. He is old so he should know better than to charge at a player half his age. Notice how not one Yankee went after Pedro? He was standing right there for the taking, but even the Yankee players realized that Zim was way out of line. I say he got off easy.

 

Unprovoked, no I would not knock a 72 year old down. Fox just showed a different camera angle where Zimmer runs straight for Pedro, nowhere near the action near the pitcher's mound.

The Jeter and Soriano pitches were breaking in. If you're an all-star, you should recognize that the pitch is about to hit you and dig your shoulder in, not your hands-wrists. They're morons.

 

Was Zimmer going to knock out Pedro?????

Come on, be "real"

That fat old bastard could not knock out your sister, much less
Pedro....

I just feel it was uncalled for, but that is what an opinion is.

 

Real probably talked about Clemens like that before 1999. I went to a game against the Tigers at Fenway in 91. Cecil Fielder and Rob Deer went back to back off Roger, and he plunked John Shelby. Shelby charged the mound with the bat still in hand, and former all state linebacker/ Sox catcher John Marzano laid the sweetest take down from behind.

After everything calmed down, five guys each were holding back Cecil Fielder and Mo Vaughn from going at it. The crowd was pretty disappointed about that, as was I.

 

NEWS FLASH... Pedro headhunts, Roger headhunts. There is one big difference about it though. Roger says bring it on. Pedro is a coward. They have both always been that way no matter what uniform they were wearing so I am not making this a Red Sox/Yankee comparison. It may have something to do with Roger being a huge guy and Pedro being a small guy, I don't know. But I do believe their respective teams feel differently about each. I think the Yankees respect Roger and back him up while the Red Sox think Pedro gets them in trouble sometimes.

Just one man's opinion.

 

That the stupidest opinion I have read in this thread yet.

Exactly how does Rodger say "bring it on"?

How about when he threw the bat at Piazza. As soon as Piazza crossed the first base line and started out towards him, Clemmons turned and jogged back to the mound. That's really bringing it.

As far as "headhunting" goes, I cannot recall Pedro ever hitting anyone in the head. The same cannot be said about Roger.

Again, you Yankee fans have very selective memories.

 

If Zimmer is going to run on the field and take a swing at a guy 1/10 his age he deserves what he gets. If he can't handle it he needs to keep is shriveld up old butt in the dug out where he belongs. He's lucky Pedro didn't deck him.

I don't care if your 20 or 80, if you're man enough to come running up to another guy to take a swing at him you better be man enough to get hit back.

yeah he didn't. He was on the field at the same time everyone else was, how else could Zim have found him and how else could Pedro have toppled his old a$$ over?

 

Then why did it take so long for Clemens to pitch in Shea? Finally, in 2002, Clemens went ahead and decided to pitch there. Maybe Torre wouldn't let him. But you think Roger's "Billy Bad Ass Texas" attitude would have said "NO skip, don't protect me, I can pitch at Shea during our interleague series."

Just bring it. What the fuck ever.

 

To Mike Niner Hunt: The M*A*S*H line is priceless.

To all Red Sox fans: This tells you all you want to know about your goat-hero Pedro --
Gardy Little challenged him tonight following Game 5 loss. And, in today's NY Daily News:

BOSTON - While the Red Sox have extended the ALCS to at least six games, one thing is certain in Grady Little's mind.
Pedro Martinez will not be his Game 6 starter tomorrow. "I can tell you right now, definitely, that will not happen," Little insisted.

But what about Tim Wakefield? The knuckleballer baffled the Yankees again in last night's victory, and his regularly scheduled between-starts throw day is tomorrow.
