As usual, the Sox get the short end of the stick....getting 5 players punished while the Yankees only get 3.

It makes me sick how the league favors the yankees. Of course, its because they sell out every where..george has the whole league pussy whipped, though.

 

We always get shafted, but it also is true that our team rallied around each other and kicked ass. Those pussies didnt do anything to help A-Dick...

 

 

The way Varitek has looked on ocassion at the plate I think dougie will be fine for a three game series.

 

Kapler got suspended as well I think, and Nxon, well who cares right now.

 

We'll put Millar in right and DO at first..then when that is done...DO can sit his time out.

I dont see it as a big deal... Meanwhile Derek must be sitting by looking at the phone. Right now I have to say he looks better and better.Lets just keep him--did I just say that?

[noonanberg]

A-Rod starts the fight, and he gets the same suspension as Tek. Sturtze attacks Kapler and he gets the same as Kap. What did Nixon do again? And he got three games. I'll bet Fox screwed with the game tapes to help their beloved Yankees.

At least we won the game, but we need to get winning again, 1 back of the WC.

The Kapler one is complete ********. I have a copy of the fight and all Kapler did was run out and jump into the pile. Half a second later Sturtze is on top of him from behind (Sturtze's favorite position I'd guess) and then pulls him down. Ortiz and Nixon get involved and that's it. Kapler didn't do anything Mueller didn't do. I've probably watched it 20 times and I don't see a single punch from Kapler.

It truly does make me sick. Even DO and Schilling got fines for the incident.

 

Not that this particular ruling should really hurt us in the long run... (if it does we're in trouble) but it just seems pretty unfair to me.

[Sizzlin22]

I think it was fair except that Sturtz'ssuspension worked out so he didn't even miss a start and Ortizzle shouldn't have been fined he was jsut getting Sturtz the hell off Kapler.

I saw kapler throw punches near the end...but you cant really see him cuz he is being blocked by ortiz

[empirestrikesback26]

come on, you know varitek started it, sox fans admit he started it just to give his team some energy. And sadly i must say it worked but not over the long term, yanks are still 9 1/2 up.

[empirestrikesback26]

yea dont f*ck wit jason varitek is right when he has a catchers mask on!

[CrespoBlows]

hey wouldn't this piss you off?

 

f*** YOU

f*** YOU

f*** YOU

 

C'MON!

 

That's what he A Rod did, and provoked Vartiek

[empirestrikesback26]

i know very true he deffinetly said that, but varitek stepped in front of him. Aight wit out varitek this is what happens: a rod has some words for arroyo, goes down to first end of story. But jason gets in the way, we dont know what he says, and throws the first "punch" i guess thats what u would call that. and one more thing tell him to take his mask off before even daring to fight somebody, thats just sad.

[empirestrikesback26]

but after saying all that i have to give him credit for doing it, its just what you guys needed, a spark.

I agree, i think he should of took of his mask.

[empirestrikesback26]

why didnt ortiz get suspended some more games too? it was obvious he was fighting too, arroyo should of got thrown out just for starting the whole mess

Ortiz was suspended 5 games.....

[empirestrikesback26]

yea for the bat throwing incident but i think he should of had at least another 2 game suspension for his role in this fight.

[element1151]

The Yankee starting pitcher, i forgot his name, went after him, and Gabe Kaplar.

[empirestrikesback26]

tanyon sturtz and true.

[CrespoBlows]

He's back tommorow thank the lord!

[CrespoBlows]

It's good to have some Yankee fans here, offering some different perspectives.
