Another loss to the Yankees and in this one Pedro went 7.1 innings allowing five runs. This was symptomatic of Pedro and the Red Sox when they faced New York together. Some memorable highlights, but the reality is Boston lost more than they won when Pedro faced New York.
After the game Pedro made a quote that will live in baseball infamy.
"“They beat me. They’re that good right now. They’re that hot. I just tip my hat and call the Yankees my Daddy.”"
That was all the New York fans needed as the chant of “Whose you Daddy” resounded in New York until Johnny Damon hit a grand slam in game seven of the ALCS.
