129 2712 The Olde English Ds redsoxchick^1553 Re: Toe injury to keep Mets' Pedro from opening day? New York Mets ace Pedro Martinez expects to miss opening day because of a nagging toe injury. [Reply to #2712] 3/23/06, 10:32am One of the reasons the Red Sox didn't re-sign Pedro is because of his frailty coupled with his age. They didn't want to give him a five, six year contract because they knew he'd be breaking down soon. In 2005 everyone said, "See how wrong they were, he isn't breaking down". Omar Minaya thought the Red Sox were crazy. Wonder what he's thinking now? [redsoxchick from Boston/MA] Replies: 2722
