I didn't know there were any Youk fans on this site!
In all honesty, though, I will freely admit Youk is an overemotional, overexciteable, egotistical douchebag of epic proportions.
However, he is also a hell of a ballplayer, and unlike one Manuel Ramirez, Traveling Jester, with the exception of this suspension, his antics have never hurt the team.
Yes, he bitches about EVERY called strike. Yes, he slams his bat down and curses like a sailor after striking out in the 8th inning of a game the Sox are winning by seventeen runs, in which he's already hit two home runs and driven in 5.
But he helps the Sox win and I love him for it.
Oh, and good game today.
