Pedro Martinez
21 January 2009
urt Schilling (who came within one strike of a perfect game with Varitek behind the plate in 2007), Pedro Martinez have never been able to do in some the most illustrious and impressive pitching careers that Major League baseball has ever seen. With Varitek behind the plate and calling the game, good pitchers become great, and great pitchers can become legendary. This is not to say that the Red Sox Captain deserves all the credit for his pitchers' success, but it is undeniable that he has a huge impact on the game and the way his pitchers perform.

ent years alone such logic has claimed the Red Sox lives of fan favorites Trot Nixon, Johnny Damon, Pedro Martinez, Doug Mirabelli and Derek Lowe, any of whom would have been retained if sentiment and sentiment alone drove personnel decisions.

Well, basketball is over and Major League Baseball is heading into the All Star break, which means that the real baseball season is about to begin. I know, I am waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy overdue for this year's first rabid Red Sox post, but honestly I've been a little bit preoccupied with the WORLD CHAMPION BOSTON CELTICS and basketball in general (it has overtaken baseball as my favorite sport, though the Red Sox are and always will be my first love) to really dive into the first three meaningless months of the grueling and arduous MLB season.
