I hear the decision leave Pedro in against the Yankees was dumbest decision in sports history. Every passive fan with a radio in the greater Boston area has heard over the years that leaving in Pedro was the worst decision ever, and it cost him his job. I think it was a completely valid decision, and it's time for us to admit that we are not managers of the Redsox for a reason.
I've seen Pedro shut down best Indians line-up in years with his shoulder destroyed. He had no fastball at all, and he spun a web of crazy pitches throwing from strange angles, and there was nothing the other team could do about it. I don't care if he gave up three homers in a row. If it's a deciding game of a series, a must win situation, if Pedro says he can go I will leave him in.
If Pedro has lost a leg during a deciding game and told me he could pitch, I would find a way to keep him upright on the mound. For the last few years, Boston fans have referred to that game as "The game Grady Little left Pedro in too long," or "The Grady Little is an idiot game." Well Grady, I just wanted to let you know that I agree with you. If Pedro is the wrong decision, I don't want to be right.
