I read about that but I didn't see the game. What happened on the next pitch after he shook off Posada?

LOL I LOVE THE YANKEES SO MUCH

nothing like plunking guys and getting interdivisional HATE to skyrocket... and i'm in canada, so i'm surrounded by all these frickin' blue jay fanatics who are TSN-fanboys and have such jaded views about everything to do with baseball, it's great

i so hope they sweep this thing

I think you forgot Mariano.

If you're just talking about kids, David Robertson should be in the bullpen mix by then, and JB Cox if he doesn't break his hand in any more fights.

There are so many great young arms in the system right now. Alan Horne is probably next closest to the majors after Hughes, Chamberlain and Kennedy. Then there's a whole group of 17- to 20-year olds like Dellin Betances, Zachary McAllister, Jairo Heredia and Manuel Barreda pitching in Rookie or Single-A ball that have great upsides.

Oh, and Andrew Brackman too, who's supposedly going to get a deal done in the next week.

someone IMed me this quote by towers, I was pretty surprised at how stupid it was:

"I heard somebody chirping when I was talking to Lyle [Overbay] ... Tony Pena is running his mouth off and I was like, 'What's this guy running his mouth off for?' This dude is a quitter. He managed a team and quit in the middle of the season because he couldn't hack it." -- Towers

thats pretty lame and I wouldnt want people on my team talking [censored] like that. the blue jays did a pretty good job of owning themselves today. its fair enough for them to think what arod did was lame, I understand them being pissed about it. but all this crap is just making WAY too big a deal about it. throwing behind arod, then hitting him again the next day, towers and stairs running around getting in arods face, then talking [censored] about the first base coach after the game... i mean come on, they are making themselves just look dumb at this point, regardless of however bad what arod did was.

things are going soooo good, at this point it is almost hard to remember a couple months ago when the season was a total disaster

[kyleb]

Huh? If Tony Pena is running his worthless backup catcher mouth, why's it wrong for Towers to say [censored] back?

because hes a garbage pitcher who is lucky to be in the major leagues and he started all of this crap yesterday. Boo hoo the bluejays are still pissed off that a triple a player [censored] his pants if hes under a popup and someone yells and instead of being a man and just saying he [censored] up wants to blame himself sucking on arod.

This whole thing is a joke
The bjays can throw at arod whenever they want and if the Yankees do anything in retaliation Clemens gets tossed.
Let that piece of [censored] Towers pick up a bat against Clemens and see if he still feels like throwing at Arod
