Dustin Pedroia capitaine des Sox? Il aurait mon vote!

Une leçon de baseball sur deux pattes! Il pratique ce sport comme tous devraient le pratiquer. Il s'implique dans chaque jeu comme s'il devait constamment faire ses preuves. Si les Red Sox songe à placer le "C" qui appartenait à Jason Varitek sur un autre chandail, il faut que ce soit sur celui de Pedroia. Actions speak louder than words...

 "There is no Red Sox player wearing the “C’’ on his jersey anymore. That became the case when Jason Varitek called it a career late in March at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers.

 But that doesn’t mean the team has no leadership.

That’s because Dustin Pedroia is wearing his No. 15, as proudly as any Red Sox ever has worn it.

 It is times like these when one can witness that leadership and realize that if there was another “C’’ given out, it would be to Pedroia, small in stature but with a big heart.

 He wouldn’t say it, but last September killed him. You knew he thought about the Red Sox’ collapse all winter. And you knew that when this season started 0-3, he was fuming inside. He’s one of those players who is eaten up by losing, but he tries to put forth a confident, determined demeanor.

 And Monday night his actions said to everyone, “I’m sick and tired of losing. I’m sick and tired of the media, the fans telling me, telling us, that we’re not a good team.’’

It’s easy to say it and think it, it’s another thing to execute it. And Pedroia executed it with two huge hits in a 4-2 Red Sox win over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
