sweet lead at the half way point....its ours to lose
Very nice lead right now and a good weekend in Boston going into the break. They have to be feeling good about themselves. 7.5 up on Tampa, I can't see Baltimore lasting.
BOSTON — They haven’t come to blows like Alex Rodriguez and Jason Varitek, but the feud between Mark Teixeira and Boston reliever Vicente Padilla shows no signs of mellowing.
Teixeira has never tried to mask his dislike of Padilla for both his belief that he has thrown at him and caused him to get thrown at by plunking opposing hitters when they were teammates, and now the right-hander is firing back, telling Spanish-speaking reporters that the first baseman has an issue with Latino teammates.
“The problem is he talks about all the wrong things that others have done, but the things he’s done — against the Latinos [on the Rangers] — he doesn’t open his mouth about,” Padilla told NESN in Spanish Saturday. “He once threatened me and said he was going to hit me with a bat, and that’s when we were playing on the same team. And then, he also had problems with Frank Francisco.
... But he doesn’t talk about that, does he? Then, of course, he goes on and makes those comments about me.”
Teixeira denied that he’s ever had a problem with any Latin teammates — other than Padilla — after Padilla’s comments were relayed to him.
“Hilarious,” Teixeira said. “If that’s the case, interview every one of my Latin teammates in this clubhouse right now and ask them. ... It’s completely erroneous.”
Both Robinson Cano and Freddy Garcia defended Teixeira.
“I don’t know anything that happened over there [in Texas], but he is a nice guy, one of the nicest guys on the team,” Cano said. “I judge a guy by the way he acts with me. If there’s something in the past, I don’t know about that.”
Garcia called him, “a great guy, a family guy. He respects everybody. ... Anybody can say what they want to say.”
And Padilla will. He added Teixeira is simply afraid to hit against him.
“I just think he’s scared to face me,” Padilla told NESN. “I don’t throw at people to hit them on purpose. I throw inside, and I’ve always thrown inside. It’s not my problem if the ball hits someone. ... In this sport, as competitive ball players, we get pretty fired up. So I think, maybe, [Teixeira] picked the wrong profession. I think he’d be better off playing a women’s sport.’’
Teixeira largely laughed that off, joking that “women’s boxing is pretty tough,” but stood by his belief that Padilla is a headhunter.
“The fact is certain things happen in this game and hitters don’t have the same powers ... pitchers do,” said Teixeira, who has been hit three times by Padilla in 18 plate appearances. “Pitchers can do those kinds of things and then say whatever they want about it. Hitters just have to take it.The only other thing I could do is charge the mound.
... I’m not gonna charge the mound and get my teammates hurt.”
Teixeira also pointed to an incident with the Rangers when teammate Michael Young got hit and Padilla was seen laughing on the bench.
“That was the last straw in Texas,” Teixeira said. “He was released that day.”
And now the two of them find themselves in an intense rivalry — with Teixeira hitting a triple off Padilla on Friday that gave the Yankees the lead.
“If you connect a big hit against me, then it means you were capable of doing so,” Padilla told ESPN Deportes in Spanish yesterday before refusing to answer questions in English.
As for the war of words, Teixeira hopes it’s over, but doesn’t intend to seek out Padilla.
“That would be an interesting conversation,” Teixeira said. “If he wants to keep throwing at people, that’s his prerogative.”

He's just a punk.
Padilla is such a fucking asshole. Easy for an AL pitcher to constantly throw at guys when you rarely have to bat. He pulled this shit with Pierzynski a few years back....hit him twice in one game for no apparent reason. Guys like that are a fucking embarrassment to the game.

He's a paid employee of the Yankees. When you pubically talk shit about the employees of the company you work for, you are probably going to be let go. Simple as that.

Thanks, man. Congrats to you as well. Pretty pumped about the bachelor party and think we are looking at next October or the following Spring. Most likely next fall though.
Great win especially with the way price was dealing.
8-7 over the last 15.
What's your point? Hot and cold stretches. 162 games. On pace for 98 wins I believe at the half way point.
Try again. I am sure you can talk to metsfan in his thread. Misery loves company.
My dead mets thread is Yankee fan free thread and more so a idiot free thread. No Yankee fan should ever complain Cano. Dude just rakes. I'll gladly take him on my team anytime.
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
