There are a few Red Sox players I don't like. Ok, I dislike them all, some more than others. Kevin Youkilis for example is a guy I really, really dislike. I won't say hate because hate is a strong word. On second thought, I hate that guy.
But of all the Red Sox, the one I admire most is Dustin Pedroia, or as our Boston friend Fitzy calls him, "Little Dusty Big Stick."
Growing up, the guy was always "too small" to play.
Well the smallest guy on the Coors Field turf last night was also the biggest. Pedroia belted 3 homers and knocked in 5 as the Bostons avoided the sweep with 13-11 win over the Rockies in an old-fashioned Coors Field slugfest.
How do you not admire Pedroia.?He's everything you want in a player. He's a feisty, hustling, scrappy player who also has a bunch of talent in that 5'9 (more like 5'7), 180-pound body. I'd like him a lot more if he didn't play for the Red Sox.
