Pedro: I Won't Quit
3rd July, 2008 - 7:52 am
The New York Post - Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez claims that he will not quit despite enduring one of the roughest stretches of his career, according to The New York Post.

"If I was to quit right now, I would be a coward," Martinez said. "You have a lot more chances of seeing me [quit] when everything is going smooth than right now. I'm going to try to find a way and face whatever adversity is out there."

Martinez is 2-2 with a 7.39 ERA in seven starts this season, and spent two months on the disabled list with a strained hamstring.

"Now I know how it feels to be on the other side of the coin, so I'm just going to continue to battle and do what I can to help this team win a ballgame," he said. "If I fall short, well, I'm going to go home proudly. I'm not going to quit." [READ]
