BCWWF - Pedro in his interview w/ the Boston Herald said he hoped Teck left, and he wanted him as catcher, they asked him how would Piazza feel and he said Piazza could play 1st, the Pedro wants all the best players on his team and Teck is the best catcher. Also said he wanted Manny to get delt to the Mets and hopped everyone left the sox.

I read Pedro's interview... I don't fault the guy for taking the money, but this crap about respect and if he doesn't make teams respect him, how will any other players from his country get respect is crap. It is funny, you could really tell in the interview how jealous of schilling he was. He kept comparing the ages, forgetting that even though older, Schill has pitched more games due to better health.

Whatever, best of luck Pedro!

Greta moves by Beane

So, the RJ trade is almost final and goes to the league and then there's 3days for Greene and RJ to waive their no-trade clause. So, this still may not get done. Both are talking extention.

Don't forget, A-rod had agreed on a deal to come to the sox, and it didn't go through because he agreed to re-do his contract and the MLBPA wouldn't sign off on it, so it's never done till it's signed. I assume however it will get done, I think the hold-up could be if Greene doesn't want to leave, but Arizona ain't that far away from home for him.,

On a side note, listening to sports radio they had some Cardinal (sorry, didn't catch the name) or former, cause he said he didn't get offered arbirtation and can't negotiate w/ them until may. Anyway, he was kinda bitching that the Cardinals should have had home field in the world series since the Red Sox were a wild card team and they weren't. That if Schill had to pitch in STL and run the bases and a different field, things would have been different. First, if STL did have homefield, Schill still wouldn't have pitched in STL just for the reasons stated. Or if he did, he'd not swing at the plate and chance running a base.

But it brings a good question, what do you think of the all-star game deciding who gets home field? I this case a Wild Card team (a team that 10?yrs ago wouldn't have made the playoffs) got the homefield, now given, 4game sweep, so it was 2home, 2away, but do you think that's fair?

Also, someone help me here, I can't remember. I thought the WS used to alternate NL/AL for homefield I didn't think it was best record when it got to the WS, so his point wouldn't have mattered in that case.
