Mona Lisa Martinez Watches Sox Succumb in the 9th
Mona Lisa Martinez Watches Sox Succumb in the 9th
(Pedro Martinez: This is no laughing matter.)
"Varitek called a players-only meeting yesterday, which was a great idea except Pedro Martinez didn't get to the park on time to participate. Pedro, who has spent the first two nights here bantering with Yankee fans nonstop (think he wants to play here next year?) works on his own schedule. Asked if Pedro was late when the rest of his teammates were stretching at 5:30 -- after the players-only meeting -- Francona said, "He's pitching tomorrow. When I know where people are and the reasons why, I'm OK with it." - Dan Shaughnessy, Boston Globe
