According to Baseball Tonight Pedro didn't like how the Red Sox put him in the backseat to Schilling. He also didn't like how the Red Sox treated him during offseason negotiations. So he doesn't care if he gets his ring.

 

 

This just in Pedro, w/o Schilling you guys don't make it to the World Series.

 

I'll have it if he doesn't want it.

It cuts both ways, without Pedro they don't win the WS last year either.

 

And even with Schilling AND Pedro, without Dave Roberts they don't win it.

You can make the argument the Sox with Varitek or Manny or half the guys on the roster don't win the WS. Just take the ring.

i can understand a guy like nomar not wanting a ring, but why pedro?

He should take the ring and be grateful to the city of Boston. He needs to remember that the Red Sox are not only Henry and Theo. The team, fans and the city that rooted for him for so many years are the real Red Sox. GMs and owners come and go, but the fans stay year after year.

 

In addition, Pedro is going to the hall with a Red Sox uniform. Why put a sour note based on a simple WS ring issue?

Totally agree with you Sir.

What makes you think he isn't grateful to Boston? He's said many times he loves the fans, his old teammates, and even management. What got to him was the media and the way they portrayed him in Boston. The latest of which was them taking the ring quotes totally out of context. Here's what he really said.

 

 

``I can understand the business part of it. I can understand, I can live with the business part of it, not being able to afford me, or thinking I'm not that good, but I cannot understand the part where you mistreat my name, or mistreat what I did for the city of Boston because they have to build another image of me.

 

``If they want to keep the (World Series) ring, that's fine,'' he went on. ``I just know I contributed to that team to win, and I'm proud of it. They can never erase what I did in Boston. Most important, I had a job in Boston for seven years, and I appreciate that. And that's the most important thing. I had a job, and I did what I had to do in my job. Every time I could pitch, I did. Hurting, or not hurting.''

 

Pedro is not as bad of a guy as the Boston media loves to make him look.

You do have a point, but you can sense the Sour Grapes in Pedro's comment "if they want to keep . . . . .".

 

He is feeding the media, he should know better.

NONONO without DAVID ORTIZ (Big Papi)they wouldnt have won the world series!

Just a case of Pedro going over the top over his sour grapes with Red Sox Management.

pedro needs to stop being such a damn :insert female reproductive organ here:. hmm, did derrek lee whine when the marlins didn't resign him? oh thats right, he didn't...he has class...so i guess pedro is where he belongs now...in the big apple

Good Lord Pedro, don't be an ass, go get your ring.

He doesn't want one of these??

Inferiority complex, much?

 

The Marlins ring was so much more awesome.

Hate The Sox But I Gotta Say That Is A Nice Ring.

Not at all. He's not saying he doesn't want the ring, he's saying the ring isn't important. WHat is important is all the accomplishments he had in Boston and the memories he has of the city. And now that he's gone people are blasting him and trying to overlook all he did.

 

In the past week there have been more articles about Pedro than Curt Schilling in the Boston rags. It's time for the Boston media to move on.
