Joe Girardi got tossed last night for all the right reasons. He first jawed with Tim Bogar, Sox first base coach, over what seemed to be his tipping off of David Ortiz as to when Jose Molina was setting up inside. Then, Girardi went apeshit on the home plate ump – arguing balls and strikes for opening up the zone on Derek Jeter’s at-bat while pinching his young starter Phil Hughes. He was right on both points. Bogar immediately jawed back that Girardi was a “f*cking pr*ck” – quite the defensive posture. Given that Girardi has never ever seemed the type to insult unnecessarily to warrant such a response, I can only assume Bogar’s guilt. Papi, who hasn’t been able to hit a pitch inside all season, drew in and turned to double in a run on a liner down the right field line. Pitch tipping has been rumored to be going on in Fenway Park. The allegations against Alex Rodriguez of pitch tipping – which are baseless and have been refuted by pros, while having been offered by a bird-brained con woman who thinks that pubescent growth spurts are signs of performance enhancement – seem to hint of bigger things at play on the field. “YOU are guilty of MY sin.” Girardi’s verbal scuffle with Bogar won’t go unnoticed around the league.
That said, the Yanks got a quick boost from Girardi’s fire but it fizzled. Runs and outs were offered freely to the Sox, as were 0-1 counts on first-pitch fastballs and those 2-0 meatballs passed along. Sure, Jon Lester was dealing. He had the blue on his side to boot, perhaps a nod to Varitek’s intangibles (male prostitution? I can’t figure it out anymore), but at that point, if you’re in the Yankee lineup, you have to start jumping all over the first pitch because you know you won’t walk your way on reliably. Derek Jeter has a pain in the neck and can’t throw the ball.
Alfredo Aceves showed some gusto.
Didn’t catch the Met game, but I know they won. Javier Vazquez blew through 5 innings but punched his clock and checked out while still on the mound in the 6th. And the Mets took full advantage of the opportunity, perhaps sparking the first roll of the year, with Carlos Beltran and David Wright waking themselves for three homeruns and a double.
Tell me, oh tell me, where are all the Marketing geniuses that predicted that baseball will draw fans on the home run alone? Nothing drives away a die hard like a fistful of 5.40 ERAs, a slow, boring, sloppy game, and umpires that suck.
Is that Hubie Brooks daughter?
Lib- Keep rolling the rock up the hill then.
New name-Sisyphus
If you cats dont think that that song is F.U.N.N.Y, I dont know what to do for yas.
Lib will have as many names as Unshod soon.
Thanks Lev.
I’m seeing the video.
Hubies daughter…BWAHAHAHAHA
yabba dabba, see yous latah.
Alright Lib. Who is your other guy besides Cano, GDY?
No Youkilas in line up.
Longoria brother.It’s all good
I was surrounded by Sox fans in Aruba. I gotta get an 86 Mookie jersey.

They’re breeding like rat’s Kev.
They wear that B hat kinda smug these days.
I heard pukapiss’ pussy hurts
He doesn’t want to face Joba.Kev,The Yank’s are giving them all the ammo they need for that lately.
Take it easy G. I see 4Ks in Longorias future.
Scared of Joba? Joba might lose it tonight if his crackhead mother creeps into his skull tonight. I could use a good old fashion brawl and most of my Mets are too gay to get into one.
Systems going down JRZ.
Brawl! Now your talkin.Tell ya the truth,last nights game had a feel of one being imminent,These things gotta happen every 5 years or so,cleans out the bad blood.
G, you see this yet?
My picks are Sugar, Water, Purple!
Branyan – Gonzalez(SD) – Morneau
Welcome back Kev!
Lev – Early in the first inning, they showed a clip of the Sausage & Peppers Stand. No Taco Stands in Atlanta so we should be in good shape. Taka-whatevah is here to save us!
Girardi vs. Bogar would be nice undercard. I like when the coaches get in the mix.
I miss the days of Ray Knight punching Eric Davis in the mug after a hard slide.
Look at GDY hiding GF quotes in posts, for old time sake.
Mets4 – Whats the good word? Glad I missed Ollies little league walk!!!! What the fuck? Hope all is well in Mets4land.
Haa,haha,some funny shit JRZ.
A walk down memory lane.
Nice! Missed it the first time. Good call/good post.
Who would ya match up against gaedroia if you could pick?
Nettles could get it started
I got the Yanks/Sox commiserating at second base. I can’t have it.
Kev – He looked really good heading for the Coffee Thermos last night. The pen aint gonna do him any good. Go get Peterson & offer him some loot for a weeks stint with Ollie. We don’t have any help down at Buffalo either so we could be gettin’ slapped for a while. Your boy Reese Havens is tearing it up though!
Billy Crystal
Swisher and Pedroia.
Now I’m out.
Jeter/Pedroia spoon at 2B during brawl.
I’ll take Pedroia on that one. He looks like he has retard strength. No makin fun of ‘em….Im just sayin!
Retard strength.That’s a peel-away
Billy Crystal, thats funny.I think I let Veras have 1st crack at him, hoping that hye throws punches better than strikes, the sad part is I dont think any of em can fight.
peel away, more memeory lane, nice
gotta watch out for re re strength.
Melky might could scrap.CC and AJ maybe too.
I got a feeling Melky’s a jabbin fool.
Wang/Matsui breakout the nunchucks vs. Dice K and Okajima
Melky looks soft. I think Swish could take someone out but Jeets will try to break it up and catch a errant snuff.
.I said that after you said that about Melky, GDY.The posts are gettin jumbled again.And I will tell ya what, I think I would wanna keep Jorge at arms lenght, I wouldnt want him gettin a hold of me and taking the fight to the ground.
As long as somebody pops Pappelclit,I’m good.
bac in a bit.
Waldman vs. Remy
Grab Jorge by the ears and pull down toward the knee. That would be your best bet!
I was wondering if that was being seen by everyone or just me.Sometimes I get locked out on the refresh.I was thinking Swish as well.Don’t see Edwar striking fear in too many hearts
