Back to mum. For the past
couple of weeks, the formerly talkative pitcher known as Pedro
Martinez has been talking again as he rehabs from a muscle pull. He
was especially loquacious in the Globe this morning,
expressing concern to columnist
Jackie MacMullan about
pitching coach Tony Cloninger, who's being treated for
cancer.
But no more, apparently. Because
Martinez tells the
Herald's Tony Massarotti
that, now that he's pitching again, he's zipping his lips. "After
[tonight], no more talking again," Martinez says. "Back to
normal."
Despite an utter lack of pitching,
the Red Sox continue to hover around first place. Yet this is somehow
a distinctly unlovable team. Martinez's silence isn't the whole
reason by any means, but it's part of it.
