Dustin Pedroia joins the Big Club

Great news for fans of one of our system's stars. Dustin Pedroia has been called up to the Red Sox and is set to make a start against the Angels later today. (Early suggestions are that Alex Gonzalez has gone on the DL.)

Report in the ProJo

Impress us, Dustin. Show us why Mark Loretta will not be re-signed for next season.

Usage of the following nickname
for Pedroia is unacceptable: DPed

Perhaps the OTM brains trust can come up with an alternative? And suggestions for at-bat music?

Re: Usage of the following nickname
also, his nickname shoukd be Dupe or any variations thereof (duper, the dupestah, dupemeister, duuuuuuuuuuuuuupe!) and his batting music should most definitely be moz's "in the future when all's well". at least for this season.

I like
the nickname Scrappy Doo - which as you'll all know was the name of Scooby Doo's pugnacious nephew.

Re: The similarities are uncanny
After watching last night game and seeing Dusty next to the likes of Ortiz and Pena I think the comparision to Scrappy is absolutely perfect, a little fireball with incrediable energy that his size would not suggest

Re: Dustin Pedroia joins the Big Club
I gotta say I did think I would have a reason to be overly excited or overly anxious to see todays game, but damn I can't wait to finally see how he handles himself in the bigs. He doesn't even have to do great because everyone has first game jitters, I'll just be excited to see promise

An anagram of 'Dustin Pedroia' is
'Deposit run aid'

You can't get more scientific than that. :)

Well, it's slightly more meaningful than
'Tepid Dinosaur' or 'Troupe Disdain'...

Re: Dustin Pedroia joins the Big Club
This is awesome, I thought I was the only one who kills time at work doing pointless things

Re: Dustin Pedroia joins the Big Club
Are you kidding? Doing pointless things at work is what makes work tolerable!

Dustin Pedroia playing tonight
He'll be starting at shortstop and batting ninth.  That's the good news.  The bad news is Manny isn't playing.

Re: Dustin Pedroia playing tonight
Manny hurt his hamstring yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised if he sits for a few days, but unless it's really serious, he ought to be available to pinch hit.
