The New York Yankees were swept off, at the ALCS and lost their place against the Astros in the Sunday match. Pedro Martinez, the former Boston Red Sox ace, made an appearance on the TBS postgame show taking a jibe at the Yankees for their loss, commenting on his own famously quoted ‘daddy’ Yankees comment.
The Astros secured a 6-5 win in Game 4 of the ALCS game. The Yankees had to face a complete four-game sweep and a fifth straight ALCS series defeat. Pedro incidently picked up the bone with the fans who kept reminding him of the days he called Yankees-the ‘daddies‘.
“I have one question for all of New York: New York, who’s your daddy now?” smiled Pedro on the Yankee’s loss. Well, Pedro Martinez gave away five runs in a Game 2 ALCS loss while he was a part of the Red Sox league and that’s when in 2004 he declared the Yankees his ‘daddies.’
The Red Sox Pedro Martinez versus Yankees fans
The long history of Pedro Martinez with the Yankees’ followers is always brought up whenever the New York Yankees are on the field. But with five straight losses, it definitely was the time to answer back. What did Pedro actually say about the Yankees? It’s something that the Yankee’s aficionados didn’t let him live down.
“What can I say? Just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddies,” Pedro Martinez said at the time of his loss. He came up with a solid comeback this time saying, “New York, who’s your daddy now?” Let’s look at exactly what and how it happened.
The statement floated the internet with a crisp mention of the Astros victory, saying, “It’s not David Ortiz. It’s not Pedro himself. It’s the Houston Astros.” The game then was still an unforgettable one. The Yankees had a massive comeback from 3-0 in a best-of-seven series and no MLB team has made this good a return even to date.
