    I'm here, JIF my friend!

    But I've taken a vow of non-confrontationalism.

    the only way i can describe it, and Ricko surely knows a lot of French, is it is similar to a YENTA. :D

    Kyle Farnsworth could be considered a plotka macher, though through deed as opposed to word...

    Manny had no problem with getting thrown at. A-Rod got hit the day before so he was expecting it.

    I think the message here is that there is a new manager in town. Torre refused to retaliate.

    With that said, I think Girardi should have let Farnsworth throw at him( Girardi) for letting Manny hit in the same situation 2x in less than a week. With Papi in the dumper Manny should never see a good pitch with first base open. Take your chances with Youkilis.

    When you're the current active Yankee killer and third on the all-time list of those that have hit home runs against them, I'm sure you have to expect at least some extracurricular activity, particularly after hitting an absolute BOMB and then pointing into the stands as you round the bases in their stadium.

    But that's just Manny being Manny.

    Morning, Joel. :D

    Another comeback win for the Sox. Dustin gets on in the 8th, Papi drives him in to tie the game, then Manny hits another BOMB to put the Sox up two. "Shipping up to Boston" plays, and you know the rest.

    Farnsworth suspended and fined. I don't get it. He didn't even hit Manny.
