Pedro Martinez HOF day game thread

[kieckeredinthehead]

"Brian, tall guy..."

 

[kelpapa]

And the outside. And the top and bottom. And the infield and outfield. And he owned the bleachers, and the streets around the park. And the TVs and radios throughout New England. And on October 27, 2004, the church bells, too.

Agreed, but they're not putting that on the plaque.

 

[Doc Zero]

If he pitched against Chicago tomorrow he'd probably go like 5 2/3, 3 ER, 5 K.

 

[luckysox]

Man, I almost forgot how much I love him. 

 

[Fratboy]

If he pitched against Chicago tomorrow he'd probably go like 5 2/3, 3 ER, 5 K.

 
4 BB, 3 HBP...

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

I am willing to suspend my contempt for Harold Reynolds for 24 hours.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Calling out the 1999 MVP voters.  Nice.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Just tuned in... Is Yaz there?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Just tuned in... Is Yaz there?

Not intro'd. Rice is.

 

[DJnVa]

Just tuned in... Is Yaz there?

 
No

 

[Bergs]

I fucking love Pedro Martinez.

 

[Section15Box113]

"Randy Johnson.  The Big Unit.  My brother from another mother."

 

[terrisus]

And the outside. And the top and bottom. And the infield and outfield. And he owned the bleachers, and the streets around the park. And the TVs and radios throughout New England. And on October 27, 2004, the church bells, too.

Agreed, but they're not putting that on the plaque.

Definitely could have put "New England stopped to watch every time he pitched."
Because it was pretty darn true.

 

[luckysox]

Not intro'd. Rice is.

And Boggs, don't forget Boggs.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

It's touching how much Pedro loves the DR

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Are we getting a Nelson mention?

 

[Al Zarilla]

And Boggs, don't forget Boggs.

Yes.

 

[InsideTheParker]

"As Pedro joins the Commissioner and I..."
 
Do people generally avoid the word "me" when speaking?
 
"I" is subjective; "me" is objective.
 
It just sounds so ignant.

 
There is grammar and there is baseball speak. The two rarely intersect. On Sosh,  ignorance of the objective pronoun is pervasive.

 

[Marbleheader]

Fisk and Eck there too. Would have been nice to see Yaz, probably last Red Sox HOF for a while

 

[TSC]

Getting dusty.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

I hope that suit gets auctioned off for the Jimmy Fund and finds its way to a museum.

 

[luckysox]

The son with the hat is the spitting image.

 

[Luis Taint]

Can we sign his kids now?

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

The son with the hat is the spitting image.

 
Just going to post the same thing.  Uncanny.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Ramon!

 

[DJnVa]

Fisk and Eck there too. Would have been nice to see Yaz, probably last Red Sox HOF for a while

 
Except for the guy going in today?
 
Or do you mean, that after today?
 
I got it now

 

[Al Zarilla]

He always gives great tribute to Ramon.

 

[Fratboy]

Oooooo reading the 2002 Cy Young voters.

 

[soxhop411]

YES!

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Josh Hancock moment!

 

[terrisus]

There's that 2002 mention.
That and the 1999 MVP were absolute jokes.
 
He knows.
We all know.

 

[Marbleheader]

 
Except for the guy going in today?

Saying today's going to be it for a while

But credit to Randy Johnson for using it correctly in his speech, although I suppose it could have been accidental.

 

[mauidano]

So Pedro is just free styling this speech huh?

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

Dusty all around me.

 

[Fratboy]

Dusty all around me.

 
When Gods speak, we listen.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

LOOOOOVE the Dan Duquette shout out...

 

[Al Zarilla]

I hope he says and thanks whoever taught him to brush back hitters. 

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Pedro going full McCarthy. "I have here a list of names..."

 

[terrisus]

When Pedro is here, everything is alright.

 

[bankshot1]

very nice move with thanks to Dan Duquette

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

I hope he says and thanks whoever taught him to brush back hitters.

Already thanked God

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

very nice move with thanks to Dan Duquette

 
Arguably, there is no Pedro without Duquette.  Well deserved shout-out.

 

[Al Zarilla]

The Felipe Alou shoutout. Pedro knows how to give thanks. 

 

[Al Zarilla]

Already thanked God

Ha!

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Very slick thanking fans from "Queens", not "New York"

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Campaigning for Montreal. He needs to be part of the Commissioner's Office going forward, and not in a token ex-players position.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

This speech will only be complete if he wishes Sandra Bullock a happy birthday.
