Pedro Martinez de retour avec les Red Sox (pause sport)

Une petite pause de la politique américaine pour parler de sport, de baseball plus précisément. J'adore ce sport américain et je suis un partisan des Red Sox depuis le départ des Expos de Montréal. Chaque année j'assiste à quelques matchs au Fenway Park. La dernière année fut très difficile pour les bostonnais et plusieurs partisans espèrent un retour en force de l'équipe en 2013. La dernière acquisition des Sox est l'ancien lanceur, et ancienne vedette de l'équipe, Pedro Martinez. Il agira à titre de consultant. On se rappellera que Martinez a également lancé pour les Expos. Son arrivée est une bonne nouvelle!

 ""I've been away long enough now to spend time with the family and I think the situation is right," said Martinez. "I think they need people like me that could probably relate to the players, relate to the office, have a good communication and interest that they need right now. I think the players somehow still see me a little bit like a player. They can actually communicate with me. I'm also a veteran, a real old veteran. I think I can probably offer some advice to some of them about how to handle different situations."

Full of that familiar enthusiasm Red Sox fans came to love over the years, Martinez said Thursday he looks forward to throwing on uniform No. 45 -- which hasn't been worn by any Red Sox player since his departure -- during Spring Training, and whenever else his services might be needed.

 "Of course," said Martinez. "I miss the field myself. I'm going to be in the field, and once I get to the field, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get involved and get going. I like the field. I like feeling the heat of the sun and sweating in the field. Hopefully some of the knowledge I have, I'll be able to communicate with someone, and have someone take advantage of it.""
