Re: Yankees vs Redsox Thread
My unbiased review of a few happenings yesterday (noticing many of these comments are team biased!):
IMO Clemens didn't start this. It was the mess that happened the inning before. I DON'T think Pedro threw at Garcia though. That loaded the bases with 0 outs and Boston was down by 1????? IF he did it intentionally, that is one of the dumbest things he could've done. That was a game-breaking situation and Pedro needed to get out of it to keep his team close.
Ramirez was looking for a reason to charge. He was wrong in that situation. If you saw the first few pitches of the sequence, ramirez was bailing out. He thought he was going to get hit and retaliated on anything inside.
As for Zim and Pedro - 100% Zim's fault. He should've kept his old *** on the bench. Coaches are supposed to help stop these things from happening, not inciting them. Classless move IMO.
I understand where Jeff Nelson is coming from saying that Pedro could've moved out of the way, but this was in the heat of battle and Pedro reacted. Pedro did in fact move to the side a little and then pushed Zim down (I also think Zim going down had a lot to do with him being totally out of control. Hell he was falling before he got to Pedro.). I'd do the same exact thing if Zim was running at me swinging from the hip. Zim is old enough to understand his place. On the baseball field fighting with another player is not his place. IMO, he should be fired from his position immediately.
Bullpen - Here's what I got. Boston security guy was waving a Boston flag in the Yankee bullpen. Nelson charged him and took him out. IF that's true, Nelson should have criminal charges filed against him. Totally uncalled for. No reason this guy can't wave a Boston flag in the Yankee bullpen. I'm sure this isn't all that happened, but ballplayers get paid a lot of money to do a job. No reason they should attack a fan (unless the fan is charging at them) who is rooting for the opposing team.
