HEY RICKO

Watch tonites game on ESPN. Mike and Mike and all the other talk shows are saying Schil will DECK Payrod tonight. That cheap elbow to the groin that he gave Pedroia must be " paid for". Im waiting to see Jim Rome at 4:30edt..Ill bet he talks about it!! :lol: :lol:

 

Deck him hell...nail him in the fruit!

 

T.. did u see the cheap shot he took at Pedroia last nite?

 

No, is there a clip on ESPN?

 

Leaving for home now, Joel.

Terry, you can see the clip on the Red Sox' or Yankees' home page. It's not that big of a deal (we're talking Slappy, here), but I expect there may be a response.

 

A-Rod broke up a double play, that's all. Given that he's a sure fire HOF'er and Pedroia has been in the bigs about a week, I'm sure his team mates told him to stifle it.

Oh, Schilling's response was:

IP H R ER BB K HR
C. Schilling (L, 4-2) 6 12 6 5 0 3 2

8)

 

Actually, Joe West met with Tito and Torre before the game and told them that there would be no retaliation.

 

Which is laughable in and of itself

 

I saw the replay. He threw the elbow to make up for a bad slide. He slid too close to the bag. It looks worse than people are making it out to be. It definitely was a stupid move but not Ty Cobb-like and not worthy of a future HOFer.

 

3 days 3 games net loss 1.0 game in standings!

 

Every marathon begins with that first step....

 

I agree, Sid. I can't imagine Jeter doing something like that, but then I can't imagine him slapping a ball out of a pitcher's glove in a play at first base either.

 

That was a dumb comment. My brain wasn't in gear when I wrote it. At least Rick understood my meaning. What I should have said is that it's not as bad as people are making it out to be. Of course, I'm assuming that people read what I write, which is not necessarily true.

 

It looks worse than you meant when you wrote it.

 

Correct, Stu. I realized that after I re-read it. I'll just chalk it up to an old man's brain fart. :roll:

 

It's not as bad as you thought it was when you re-read it.

 

I understand a descendant of Roy Riegels will be throwing out the first pitch in the Bronx today...



:wink:

 

Ricko..is that the gentleman who ran the wrong way in a college game years ago? My memory is a bit shaky on that. jif

 

Now the Jays are mad at A-Rod for his antics on the base paths?

 

Johnny Bench was on TV this morning defending A-Rod. He makes the point that baseball is a game of cheating and gamesmanship, always was and always will be.

The Toronto third baseman was humiliated.... as he should have been. :lol:
