BALTIMORE — Dustin Pedroia, who was named along with Adrian Gonzalez as the players most vocal in ripping Bobby Valentine at a meeting called by Sox owners on July 26 to discuss the state of the team, was upset with the manner in which he was portrayed in a Yahoo! Sports story.
“I really haven’t read it all. It’s tough. We had a meeting — I’ll be honest with everybody — we had a meeting in New York and the coaches had a meeting, Bobby had a meeting, we all had a meeting, and when I spoke I said we all need to get better — that includes owners, Bobby, coaches, and especially the players.

If Dustin Pedroia would have acted as a mature adult in the beginning instead of commenting 'that's not the way we do things around here' maybe we all could consider him a true leader. As it is, I would say he is in my mind he was the beginning of the end as we see it here.
