You Can Read About That on the Interweb.

Dustin Pedroia put a call in to The Big Show on 'EEI this afternoon. Although he does insinuate that he's been bumping off the people who cross him, there's nothing too ground-breaking in what he says. It's an honor to even be considered for the award. He plans on working just as hard next year. Blah, blah, blah. Cliche, cliche, cliche. But then at 10:54 he drops this nugget:

"Um, I'll watch a little bit. I actually kinda learned how to get on the Internet here in the last couple months. So-"

*Blink*

He does mean here as in here in Arizona, right? Right? Not "here in the last couple of months" as in "I have been on Mars for the last decade, in a cave, with my eyes shut and my fingers in my ears." He does follow it up with a chuckle but it doesn't sound as if he's joking. If it was a joke, it would be a very strange joke to make. And they seem to take him at face-value, as if admitting to being unable to use the Internet was a completely normal thing for an individual in their mid-twenties to say.

I know that Papelbon has said that the only thing that he can do with a computer is check his e-mail but that doesn't sound as shocking. Pedroia went to college for God's sake. Even if all he did was play baseball and study underwater basket-weaving, surely he would have been exposed to computers and the Internet. He can't be that oblivious, can he?

It boggles the mind.
