Beach - just going by what I saw (TV) and what I heard (on radio & TV). Fortunately (or unfortunately could be used as well), I was right in front of the tune when it happened. It was a lose-lose situation, once ZIMMER charged Pedro it went from a non-issue to a Lose-Lose. There is NOTHING Pedro could have doen to create a satisfactory outcome. With the possible exception of running arouns in circles AWAY from Zim when he chased Pedro (and who knows what would happen then) - what other, more realistic options were there? Seriously, answer that for me. That was a LOUSY situation for all involved and perhaps Pedro should have "run away", but Zim should never have done that either... Yeh when Pedro threw him down he didn't gently put Zim down, he did throw him.
What we need is a clean game 4 and get beyong this crap.
Oh, and I re-read my post and agree with everything I saw (including the Annoying Announcer - sometimes I'm forced to listen to the Yanks production instead of the Sox and yes, I don't believe he is anywhere near as objective as Joe & Jerry).
Yeh, I'm biased
(need to find highly sarcastic smiley face
