oh, and ... good win for the Sox tonight. They needed a little home cookin'.

Tough loss from my perspective. But it was a good game to watch. After those first 2 innings, I thought things would get pretty ugly and one-sided. But both teams kept battling. Fun to see a lot of solid baseball... sacrifices, moving runners, driving in runs. The Tigers missed a few opportunities with lots of runners on and those two pop fouls to the catcher were killer. Here's hoping they come back strong tomorrow.

Magglio goign 3 for 3 was worth the loss though. If he can get back to form, this team might start looking as strong as it should have been all season.

The white sox went out and got Alex Rios for more of an offensive boost, I think he'll do well in that park. Well, he better do well for my fantasy team. nearly 2 months left, it's going to be interesting.

I'm getting chills watching this stuff seeing Fenway from back then 72' 73' 74' 75'. Something i didn't know about LT and that is when he first came up he threw fastballs up to 98 mph.

Now That I didn't know when he was with the Indians. As a youth I can remember wondering what was that stuff he had in his mouth it was HUGE.

That was a great documentary. Luis Tiant's emotional return to Cuba in 'The Lost Son of Havana'

I just miss the old board format (from a visual perspective). The design is very....busy.

Like I said weeks ago... that guy's a fucking douchebag. Try to explain to me again how classy a baseball team Boston is?

Not only did Yuk charge the mound when he probably shouldn't, but he threw his helmet (fine+more suspension days), and ended up on his back without getting a punch in!


Pretty pathetic mound charge if you ask me!!



If you are going to make a point and get susupended, at least make it worth your time!
LOL!

Well, Porcello was throwing at him ... is there any doubt about that?

The helmet toss was weak.

hot tempered mother fucker he is.. ill admit that. not cool on his part, but maybe this will get something going for us. dont talk about how much class we have or dont have when your youngest pitcher goes and throws at martinez.. fails.. then throws at youkilis.. id be pretty pissed too. still doesnt excuse him for throwing the helmet.. or charging the mound. like i said, maybe something good comes out of this.

I would say there's doubt. Look at the clip, you can see the annoyance on Porcello after it hits Youkilis. He's a 20 year old rookie pitching on the road against the Red Sox. You can see he looked frustrated at losing control of another pitch, then he looked confused and scared when Youkilis came stomping out in the grips of roid rage and threw his helmet at him like the punk ass he is. Least Porcello managed to use the meathead's momentum to toss him on his back and get the upper hand for Youk's little temper tantrum. I hope somebody spiked that piece of shit.

As to throwing at hitters... Boston beaned Cabrera twice. I don't think Porcello's was intentional, but even if it was, you can't tell me this was unprovoked.

Porcello's confusion was the only thing that had me at a pause.

But think about it, Cabrera has been hit two nights in a row (although, tonight, he was mid swing, pulled back, then was hit, so, it wasn't Tazawa's fault) .. and then he left the game.

Porcello then went inside at VMart.

Then he plunked Youkilis square in the back, and it wasn't even close to the strike zone.

Porcello has only walked 38 batters all year (so, he's not wild) ... and do you know how many batters Porcello has hit this year in over 110 IP? 2 ... Kevin Youkilis and .... Kevin Youkilis.

Yup, Here you are acting like it was totally understandable that the caveman threw his helmet at a 20 year old rookie after what may or may not have actually been an intentional throw.

Maybe he gets nervous pitching to a psychopath. Hopefully the next one will be up and in and break the fucker's jaw instead of bouncing off his steroid infused back.

ok, you can say you don't like him ... I'm cool with that. The helmet toss was weak, I said so before. Youk is certainly one of those guys that if he's not on your team, he probably rubs you the wrong way.

But throwing at his head is a bit extreme.

Steroid infused back ... now you just sound silly.

Well lucky for him, the Tigers pitchers are probably classier than I am. But that guy is a douchebag, no two ways about it, and it doesn't matter whose team he's on. I wouldn't want him on the Tigers either. He's like Ty Cobb without the talent... a repulsive, disgusting human being with no character.
