Red Sox manager Terry Francona was examined by emergency medical technicians to check on his blood pressure not long after being ejected from Thursday's game in Minneapolis, The Boston Globe reported. ...
According to the Globe, Francona was pacing in his office, agitated and "worked up" because of the ejections of himself and Varitek when a member of the Red Sox training staff suggested that Francona, who has a history of medical issues, be examined before the team left the Metrodome ...
"I'm fine," Francona said. "I just got a little worked up and my blood pressure shot up."
It seems as though a lot of you never noticed Pedroia putting something in his helmet so I am now on a mission ,and found out I am not the only one......
ReplyDelete? a while back on boston.com
Amalie, what does Dustin Pedroia put in his batting helmet every time he gets on base? He takes it off every time and puts something on the inside. Do you know what that is about?
Trevor, Middletown, Conn.
A: Trevor, you get to stand in for quite a few questions about Pedroia's antics at first base. Must be that everyone's getting a good look at the second baseman at first, since he seems to be there two of three times per game. I actually asked Pedroia this question on Wednesday after the game. His response? "That's private," he said, laughing and walking out of the clubhouse. Sorry I couldn't bring you guys a better answer. Maybe I'll be able to pry it out of him eventually.
I won't make this game since I'll be driving for a weekend trip.
ReplyDeleteFun question: Will Bay get applauded when he bats?
GO SOUX!
"Fun question: Will Bay get applauded when he bats?"
ReplyDeleteDid he? My guess is no, because most Jays fan only cheer when they're told to.
For the couple of innings we saw at a bar, we did see fans holding a huge sign: WELCOME HOME G KOTTARAS. Nice!
9C, thanks for that. :)
