Good Riddance:

PEDRO: SOX CAN KEEP RING
April 7, 2005 -- He left Boston as a World Series champion, but Pedro Martinez didn't leave on good terms. Still upset with how management handled his free-agent courtship, the new Mets ace gave the ultimate diss to the Red Sox yesterday.
"If they want to keep the (World Series) ring, that's fine," Martinez told the Boston Herald.
Boston general manager Theo Epstein seemed more saddened than annoyed by the latest comments from Martinez, who often perceives something or someone is against him.
"It's his ring," Epstein said. "He earned it.
"He was a huge part of putting us in that position and a huge part of winning the World Series. He earned it, he deserved it, so that's all the comment I have."
After leaving the Sox for a better financial offer and more years with the Mets, Martinez revealed he felt jilted during his introductory press conference at Shea Stadium.
In yesterday's Herald, Martinez sounded concerned the Red Sox smeared him for the purposes of spin control.

"I can live with the business part of it, not being able to afford me, or thinking I'm not that good, but I cannot understand the part where you mistreat my name, or mistreat what I did for the city of Boston because they have to build another image of me," Martinez said from Cincinnati.
Epstein believed he had a good relationship with Martinez and said the Red Sox have nothing but good things to say about the diminutive righty, who won 117 games in Boston from 1998-2004.
"He was a dominant guy here," Epstein said. "Our franchise would not be in the position it's in today without his contribution.
"He's a Hall of Famer and did most of that with the Red Sox. So he's got a heck of a legacy with us, that's for sure."

Good riddance Pedro. You are such a punk! Enjoy the rest of your career with one of the worst teams in baseball. Too bad you won’t get any wins since your new bullpen is so bad that Levitra turned them down for a new commercial to throw a baseball through a tire. Not quite as bad as Randy Moss but keep talking…
