Pedroia should take a good look in the mirror before he calls anyone else a dork.

Props to you TSJC for your apology and clarification. You’re one of the most prominent voices on the blog and what you did showed leadership and maturity.

This is why I read and comment on RAB and not LoHud. It’s fine to make a joke and poke a little fun at someone, and I’m sure that was your intention, but there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed and I respect you for admitting that.

Because the color of Cano’s skin is like 99.9999999% of the reason why he gets called “lax” and “not a hard worker” and all that other ignorant racist crap.

LMAO. So that means only .0000001% of the reason he is called “lax” and “not a hard worker” is because he actually is “lax” and “not a hard worker”.

In another terrible comment, someone once referred to Cano as “black”.

“And why are you bringing up the color of his skin?

Because the color of Cano’s skin is like 99.9999999% of the reason why he gets called “lax” and “not a hard worker” and all that other ignorant racist crap.”

Oh, right. And that’s also why Adam Dunn is called the same thing. Because of the color of his skin.

“I agreed with you concerning Pedroia’s comments only in the context that it seemed to upset people and because Arod wasn’t there to defend himself.”

Boo-hoo. Where was Jeter when AROD did his magazine cover story in which he diminishes Jeter’s value to the Yankees?

Pedroia was asked a question, and he answered it. What do you want from the guy? It’s not like he went on some expletive-filled diatribe. In fact, he probaply gave a pretty mild assessment of what alot of people feel about AROD.

“Steve in MN, what is it that makes you think Padroia tries harder than Cano.”

Gee, I don’t know. Maybe the fact that Pedroia seems to spend more time hustlng on the field, and less time thinking of ways to cut the mustard.

I agreed with you concerning Pedroia’s comments only in the context that it seemed to upset people and because Arod wasn’t there to defend himself. My greater point is that I personaly don’t really care what Pedroia (or any other ballplayer) has to say. Its just their opinion.
Besides, they’re paid to play baseball not to be polished in front of the media.

Truthfully, if Sheffield said some jerky thing it really wouldn’t influence my opinion. If he did something that hurt someone, abused a member of his family, something evil, my opinion would change. Otherwise its all just theater.

So, we can agree that Pedroia’s response wasn’t mature and guarded. OK, I’ve got that. I just don’t think that his direct answer to a question was that bad. Isn’t it fair to ask if the answer was likely to be controversial why did the member of the media, who should be savy to the ways of his medium ask the question? I guess it wasn’t a very mature question.

That was a bit of a cheap shot at Arod, I should chill on that, he already gets enough barbs.

How dare the diminutive one call A-rod a whale’s phallus.

Really, a dork, is the best he can come up with? When did I stumble into my delorean and go back to 3rd grade?

What did A-rod ever do to you, that behooved you to comment?

Holy crap, are we going back to that ridiculousness again? If that had been Grady Little charging Mariano Rivera he would have been just as justified in chucking his tired old ass to the ground as Pedro was in chucking Zimmer’s.
