Possible suggestion, instead of toilet 2.0, perhaps ‘the new death star’. The Sox still have alot of games against the Yankees, but it is nice to see them off to such a good start. Jason Bay is an amazing player, I like his dogged determination and quiet manner. Joba, showed frustration and a lack of composure, I hope Bay takes him deep on the first pitch the next time they meet!

It can’t be easy having to go out and pitch the day after his mom got popped slinging meth. Drug addiction sucks.

That said, eff him. I’m in the YES market, so I had no choice but to listen to them explain how he just “flew open” and the pitch “sailed” right into Bay’s ribs. That was as intentional as it gets. Dick.

But really, I hope his mom gets the help she needs.

Josh Beckett buzzes former Yankee/current Angel Bobby Abreu when his pitching motion is interrupted by a time-out call, throwing near his head and then is non-apologetic = six game suspension. Joba Chamberlain, who regularly throws at the head of Kevin Youkilis with little or no provocation, intentionally hits Youkilis’ teammate in the ribs after Bay took him deep.

Any predictions on the suspension? Exactly. For all the complaining from other fans about the Yankees/Red Sox, as though they were the same entity, its fairly clear that the Yankees remain tow-headed, vacant-eyed number-one son of Major League Baseball…

Just sayin’

As much as many MLB teams complain that there was a pro Sox bias with George Mitchell’s relationship with the MLB front office and having an investment with the Red Sox. Former Yankee and MLB VP Bob Watson has done all these nuisance things to the Sox regard to fines and enforcement.

   The guy did his infamous spot check of Tito was wearing his uniform. The Beckett suspension was so stupid, given Beckett wasn’t thrown out, nor was Tory Hunter was fine for his antics.

 I mean Vincent Padilla has probably caused more fights and charges to the mound than any active player, and is a renown headhunter, especially when he is being hammered, (ask Nick Swisher who charge Padilla in 2007) I wonder how many times he has been fine by Watson. Or Daniel Cabrera of the Orioles? Scott Kazmir was renown like Joba for having control issues… how about when Matt Garza threw very high and tight against Pedroia in the opening series?

Pitching high and tight is part of the game, If Beckett wanted to be known as a headhunter, he would be throwing more like Padilla or Garza.

I had forgotten about the Beckett/Abreau incident last year, and I too would like to see the League review last night and do the right thing. If you hit a 3-run homer off of a guy because your swing was better than the pitcher’s delivery, that’s the Big Leagues. If you drill the guy who hit the 3-run homer off of you because you’re frustrated, that’s Little League. Joba showed poor sportsmanship and a fundamental lack of respect for the game, and at the very least, a warning should’ve been issued. I don’t have any sympathy for this action, and if he uses the arrest of his mother as an excuse publically, he is even more shameful. I hope he doesn’t make that his excuse, because it will further display his poor character. I do pity him for this predicament, but when you make as much money as he does to pitch professionally, you should be able to have said professionalism.

They cite raw HBP numbers to back up their argument. This is silly. You have to gauge the pitcher’s intent. Certain players—Giambi, Jeter, Youkilis, Millar—get hit often because they stand close or dive over the plate. Bitch Tits’ heavily padded elbow is usually close to the strike zone when he’s hitting (I believe there’s a radio transmitter in there that allows him to steal signs).

No one can argue that Joba has targeted Youk. How many times has he thrown at his head? But, if you want to cite raw numbers, in 5 games this year, MFY pitchers have hit Red Sox hitters 8 times. The MFY have been hit only twice. Yet I haven’t heard any Sox fan whine about how the MFY are throwing at us (except for Joba).

Joba is nothing but a scumbag for throwing at Bay. He deserves the same treatment Beckett received
