Clinic With Pedroia



Sorry I haven't been updating my blog. I'm at the Y all say every day and watching games at night so I don't have much time. In a few minutes I'm leaving for 2 weeks at Camp Rotary but b4 I go I had to write about the most awesome day. I GOT TO MEET DUSTIN PEDROIA TODAY! Really! The Red Sox had a clinic with Pedroia for the Kid Nation captains. It was awesome. Pedroia was so nice to us and let us ask him lots of questions. He's shorter than I thought he would be but he smiles and laughs a lot. We got to go on the field with Dustin and got to sit in the Red Sox Dug Out. I can't believe I got to sit where Papelbon, Tony C., Johnny Pesky and all the other Red Sox players have sat for almost 100 years. It was stupendous.The other Kid Nation Captains were really cool and it was fun meeting all the other kids. Joe Chamas works for the Red Sox and set the whole thing up for us. Joe is awesome. This is the best summer of my life. I still can't believe I'm a Captain and getting to do all these things. I can't wait to find out what project we'll be doing to help other kids. I'll update my blog again in 2 weeks when I get back from Camp Rotary. Thanks again to everyone that voted for me.

What's Up With Manny?

I love watching Manny play- he's fun to watch but lately I've been getting pretty upset with him. He acts like he's not trying and that's just wrong. Sometimes I wonder if he's trying to make the Sox lose or whether he just doesn't care. I think he's acting like a spoiled brat and is being disrespectful to the coaches and his team members. If Iacted like that I's lose my allowance and get grounded probably for life. I hope he straightens out because it has to be hard for the other guys on the team.

Thoughts on Tampa Series

I have always been a Sox fan and love my team. I hate to say anything bad about the team I love so much but it HURTS watching them play lately.

There were some bad calls by the umps last night & it cost us 2 runs but I think Dice K bears a lot of the blame for our loss. From the day we signed Dice K I've been saying he's overpaid and overrated. All he knows how to do is walk people. He wouldn't know a fast ball if it hit him in the head and he's an embarrassment. I've watched every game since I can remember but when he's pitching I have to admit I think about not watching. It's so embarrassing.

I also have to say I think the Devil Rays deliberately walking Youk 2 times in 1 game was pretty low class and poor sportsmanship. And to all you people whining about Varitek- give hima break. He's in a hitting slump but is a great catcher and team captain.

I don't think Tampa should have played Sweet Caroline after sweeping us either. I think it was pretty rude.
