In May and June he was saying the Yanks would catch the Red Sox and take over 1st place in this very series. I like it when he's wrong about stuff like this.
michael kay: "crisp hasn't taken the bat off his shoulders yet." uh, michael, showing bunt three times is taking the bat off your shoulders
great win for yanks... hopefully boston gets bit by another former player tomorrow, that bein the rocketman
i wouldnt mind him hittin someone either.. i jus dont want a suspension.. cause it killed us last time.. karstens and brower..
i think it was intentional.. i remember earlier this year tavarez was talkin to him in the dugout, and later that inning or game arod was hit.. i wouldnt hit ortiz.. i would love to hit varitek..
Tavarez was telling him to pitch inside, not to hit him. If you really think it was intentional, you either don't know about baseball or are blinded by Yankee homerism. Same thing I suppose...
... says the fan of the team whose fan base includes people who swear that Big Papi is the most clutchiest of clutch players and that A-Rod is and ever shall be a choker, that Tavarez is a better pitcher than Clemens, that the Red Sox would win 110 games this year, and that Manny Ramirez is ten times the hitter that A-Rod would ever be. All things that were said to me this season. Snarky comments about the ignorance of Yankee fans can be met with stories of Sox fan ignorance ten times over. Trust me, I live it every day. Regarding the pitch, I don't think it was intentional that he hit him considering the situation, but I don't think he was concerned about going inside. He was going to throw inside, regardless, and if it hit him, oh well. That's what a pitcher should do. BUT.... that shouldn't be a one-way street. Until a Yankee pitcher steps up and shows the Sox that "accidents" when trying to command the inside of the plate have additional consequences aside from possibly putting a runner on, we're going to see a lot more of it. Yankee batters have been hit three times as often as Sox batters in the head to head matchups since 2003.
