August 12, 200916 yr Youkilis should be suspended 8 games. Charging the mound should be an automatic 3 and throwing the helmet should be an automatic.
August 12, 200916 yr LOL at Youk getting dropped by someone he has all the momentum and 20 pounds on.
August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) It might have been misguided, but his teammates will love him for it, and he didn't screw around with scrubs, he went after some big guns. It probably makes more sense, because they have a better chance of getting on base anyway.I think his teammates will be more upset that Porcello got himself tossed out of a game after 15 pitches, burned out the Tigers bullpen, and will be suspended for a couple games at least. They know they're in a pennant race, and something like this can really hurt.
August 12, 200916 yr Talk about a really stupid thing to do for teams in pennant chases. Youk will probably get 3-5 games for throwing the helmet and Porcello will probably miss a start.
August 12, 200916 yr Seeing Youk charge in there like an angry bull only to get hip tossed to the ground is priceless.

August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:00 AM) He may miss the Sox series.... That isn't for weeks...unless you think he'll appeal and then it will go into effect right when our series with them starts??
August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:00 AM) He may miss the Sox series.... Looking at Boston's schedule, and depending on when a suspension is handed down, the Sox series falls between series against the Yankees and Jays, and later Tampa. He might well appeal until the Sox series and take it while they are playing a team they aren't fighting with for a playoff spot.
August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 07:09 AM) What's the word on Cabrera's hand/wrist? X Rays negative, contusion (bruise) to the hand/wrist, day to day. Probably miss a couple games if he legitimately couldn't swing at all last night.
August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 01:08 PM) How about the total Whiff by the Det 1B? Where the hell was Laird? Laird was in the dugout. Avila, Detroit's young back-up catcher who was playin gin his 3rd career game, was a little late getting out of the crouch.

The second a players gets hit, the catcher needs to step in front of the batter.
August 12, 200916 yr Porcello is a f****** hothead. He was screaming his head off at the umpires on his way back to the dugout after he was ejected.
