Not only that, but Youkilis threw his batting helmet at Porcello before he got to him, which is also pretty fucking lame. I like Youkilis, but he looked like a chump on that play.
Agree. If there hadn’t been any tensions left over from the night before, i doubt he would have retaliated, but it seemed that basically any HBP was going to be interpreted as an intentional act last night, whether it was intentional or not.
Bwuh?
Are we watching the same video? The one where Youkilis threw his helmet at the pitcher, and then got taken to the ground in a judo-style throw for his troubles?
By the way, Elvis, are you still as bullish on Big Papi as you were two months ago, when you insisted that he was back? I think your final word on the matter was:
In the two months since then, Ortiz’s line is: .240/.316/.485
Since July 1, he’s batting .208/.275/.424
In August so far, he’s at .111/.200/.139
On the plus side, his season OPS (.711) is exactly the same as that other superstar, Vernon Wells, with three more homers as 14 fewer stolen bases. And Ortiz at least has the advantage of playing a strong center field. Oh wait, my mistake. That’s Wells.
