The now apparently graceless Pedro Martinez has started to let rip at the Bosox indicating a little of what the Mets have actually bought. Some choice quotes:
- Of the team he is going to: "I hope 'Tek is on my team...I do want Piazza, too. Piazza is a good hitter. We can move him to first or somewhere. ... I want 'Tek. 'Tek is a good player, a good catcher..."
- Of his former manager: "Francona is subject to what they decide...Francona had no say, like he didn't have any say in managing the team. He was manipulated from upstairs....I was in the clubhouse, that's how I know...
- Of his former team's negotiations with his agent: "You want to sign me, get it done. Please force them to get it done. I'm willing to stay here. Negotiate with them. I just don't want to be under Schilling..."

he won 17 with a high three something ERA. there's nothing wrong with that. the sox endured worse from bill lee? and what about oil can boyd? pedro is no shrinking violet. look at that press conference. he went after the press who was going after him. this is a guy who called the yanks "his daddy." i wish to hell he hadn't of said that but i also wish that more guys brought it instead of just falling back to "we came to play" and "i gave 110% out there." chemistry is overrated. keep in mind that this team voted broody old nomar g. for a full share of the world series money; a full share! and, besides, when all is said and done, who in their right mind would want to throw to piazza at any rate, and do you really think that terry f was in total control of the vehicle? they had somebody who held the reigns once; his name was grady little.
