Funny stuff. A chirpy Pedroia must mean a healthy Pedroia.
“I wish I was
there and to be a part of it with those guys. It was an unbelievable experience
getting a chance to play with all those guys. I’ll definitely be rooting hard
for them. I’ll shoot them a text message, a little motivational speech for ‘em.
I’ll get em going,
Philadelphia Phillies Hats sale,” Pedroia said.
“Daisuke is lucky I’m not there,
Cheap Pittsburgh.Pirates Hats, I’d hit a line drive
right off his back and you guys can put that in your paper. I would hit him
right in his back. He better hope the Red Sox don’t trade him,
Monster Energy Hats,” Pedroia said,

One other obvious positive development here today. Jason Varitek absolutely tatooed a three-run homer from the left side. He hit it on the street behind the RF wall. Tek’s second lefty homer of the week.
J.D. Drew was hit by a pitch on the right hand and was taken for X-Rays. They were negative. It was just a contusion.
The first play of the game went to second base and Pedroia fielded it cleanly. In his first at-bat,
cheap Montreal Expos Hats,

Cheap Atlanta Braves Hats, Pedroia reached on an infield single and went to second on the error before coming out for a pinch-runner.
Intrepid reporter Jonny Miller of WBZ Radio asked Pedroia if he had any secrets for Team USA about facing Dice-K.
“I felt good,
Monster Energy Hats,” Pedroia said. “I think
the biggest thing is to see how it feels tomorrow. Hopefully I’m not sore or
anything like that. I definitely want to take it slow. I’ve been doing all my
treatment stuff. It was good to get back on the field and get a couple of
at-bats and get back in the game rhythm. Tomorrow is probably the biggest day
to see how it feels. Hopefully I’m not sore and hopefully Sunday I can get out
there and play again.”
Yet another strong outing for Clay Buchholz, who lowered his Spring Training ERA to 0.66 with five innings and no earned runs.
Yes,

Pedroia only wishes he could be there.
