Screw You Pedro

The big news out of the Brewers camp is the miscommunication involving the Brewer scouts and free agent pitcher Pedro Martinez. Two scouts were supposed to watch Martinez on two occasions this week and both times the three-time Cy Young winner decided that he wasnt going to show up. Sweet move Pedro.

Everyone is assuming that a big market team came in and they have an offer on the table for Martinez although that still doesnt excuse Pedro for choosing not to pitch for the Brewers. Despite my want for Martinez at the beginning of the season, I knew that he wasnt to keen on coming to Milwaukee after saying how much he hates the Brew City during his stint with the New York Mets. In addition, he hasnt been in a small market since his time in Montreal at the beginning of his career giving him no reason to want to live in a place like Milwaukee which I understand although it gives him no reason not to show up then tell the Brewers no thanks.

I really hope that Martinez signs with the Chicago Cubs therefore I can boo the living shit out of him and watch him burn in Wrigley over the summer. I think it would become very interesting if he became a New York Yankee because of how beloved he still is in the city of Boston. If he dons the pinstripes it would be comparable and likely worse than if Favre goes to Minnesota.
