Bitch in You

Watching the Yankee game. Not to go into too much detail, but basically there has been some bad blood between these two teams (Yanks/Mariners). People were hit in Friday and Saturdays games. Today, after Josh Phelps of the Yankees ran over the Mariner catcher (very unnecessarily) he has hit with a pitch an inning or so later. What I have a major problem with is the Yankee pitcher Scott Proctor. He threw behind Mariner shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt. Do I think Proctor had a right to protect his teammate? Yes. That is something that has been missing on the Yankee teams of the past couple years. My issue is this: Proctor waited to face the smallest guy on the Mariner team before hitting someone. The first batter in that inning was Jose Guillen. Guillen has a reputation of having a huge temper. Lets see Proctor show some balls and throw at him. Proctor knew going into the inning that he was going to throw at someone. Why wait for the little shortstop to show your toughness? Not only that, then he is yelling at Betancourt to charge at him. What a punk.

Oh, by the way....Roger Clemens just announced from the owner's box at Yankee Stadium that he is returning to the Yankees. It will definitely add some more fun to the Red Sox rivalry. It will be interesting to see what kind of flexibility the Yankees provide him and what kind of money they gave him. It will also be interesting to see how he reacts to the New York media when he is named latest steroids report (http://www.sethmnookin.com/blog/2007/04/10/the-most-undercovered-aspect-of-the-roger-clemens-love-in-2007-edition/). Holler!
