I'm sorry to see him go, he was an amazing force for 2 or 3 years there. Truly amazing to watch. He's not that pitcher anymore, but I'd still like to have him. I thought the Sox offer was fair (basically the same Schilling's). If he could get a better one from the Mets, I guess that's his prerogative; but I think they overpaid for him. Plus, the Mets' recent record with big-ticket free-agent pitchers hasn't been great.

Look at the bright side, Chuck. The Sox just forked out 16mil over 2 years to a 42 year old, 300 lb. pile of obnoxious poop who also has a bad back. Sam Adams has to be the happiest guy in New England now though. Ol' David should replace Pedro- no problem!
Should be interesting to see if Pedro's "inside-pitching" stats remain the same. It's always a l'il bit harder to throw at somebody's head when you gotta bat yourself the next inning.
