Yesterday, Boston Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia was named the 2008 American League MVP by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
.
So in Pedroia’s honor, here’s a few things that rhyme with Pedroia (it helps if you use a Boston accent) …
HOYA- The Mascot of the University of Georgetown
GOYA - Famous Spanish painter Francisco Goya. Also a brand of Mexican Foods.
CARLOS MOYA – Former #1 Ranked Professional Tennis Player
OSCAR DE LA HOYA – Mexican-American Boxer, “The Golden Boy”
LATOYA – A girl’s name, typically African-American. Most notably singers Latoya Jackson and Latoya London.
And now the Boston language kicks in … pronounce the “er” as an “ah” …
JAMIE MOYER – Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher. Pedroia is 0-2 with a walk and a stolen base against him.
DESTROYER - A Navy battleship.
LAWYER – An attorney. “I got busted, I need a Loy-yah”
VERNE TROYER - Played “Mini-Me” in the Austin Powers movies; about the size of Dustin Pedroia.
FOYER - A hallway or a corridor. I saw Pedroia in the Foy-ah.
This post was inspired (okay, ripped off) from Fitzy’s “Rhymes with Pedroia” Challenge from last August. I came up with seven of them myself before Googling “Rhymes with Pedroia” and finding out that somone had done this in a stand-up act already.
I thought I was being all original and clever too. Rats.
You can watch Fitzy’s routine after the jump … but there’s a bunch of nasty language in this clip, so don’t play it at work, okay?
Japan has given the world some pretty good baseball players …
