MLB 09 The Show: Dustin Pedroia Interview (ESPN)

11:08 AM - January 8, 2009 by iamemmittsmith

ESPN has posted their interview with Dustin Pedroia, cover athlete for MLB 09 The Show.

Quote:


	ESPN: MLB 09's big feature is that fans can use a peripheral like the Rock Band mic and record their own crowd chants. You can scream things about my mom, yell "Pedroia sucks!" then cue the audio when that player comes up to bat. What's the funniest thing anyone ever yelled at you during a game that I can try to mimic on the PS3? Dustin Pedroia: I really don't get it that bad other than all the short jokes. But I guarantee that all the Red Sox fans are going to get a big kick out of this as it's a new way to razz Yankee players. I'm sure it's going to be a big hit in the New England area.

Pedroia is one of the few guys on boston that even yankee fans cant hate on. He keeps his mouth closed, and he plays the game the way it should be played and you cant be made at that. And he seems to really enjoy the game, I just hope he keeps at attitude.

And the best medicine is to ignore those things. Or contact a mod if it is out of hand. You should know this.

And there was no mention of "2K sucks" in this thread. Only people's concerns and displeasure for the same 'lack there of' information 2K has yet to provide.

That is every bit constructive criticism, as much as the ones "critiquing" the The Show's new screenshots. Yet more off topic in here, and silly to keep this going.

Done talking about it.

Obviously he's not familiar with the show's franchis mode...

"ESPN: So if I challenge you to a game right now and I choose the Yankees, are you going to bean any of my batters?

Dustin Pedroia: [laughs] No man, not at all. It's a friendly rivalry."

...i think he would...haha
