First of all, let it be known that I am not a Roger Clemens fan. He's on the Yankees and I want him to win, but I do not like him at all. I think the way he goes about his business is very arrogant and tasteless, but I guess this is not the time and the place for that. But when your star player is thrown at intentionally TWICE, you need to retaliate. You can't allow your teammates to think that you don't have their backs. I was hoping Clemens would hit Rios earlier and right in the face (reminds me of Piazza) but I knew it wouldn't happen... he pitched a 2 hit game through 6 and helped to give them a relatively easy win with the score 9-2. What he did was necessary and he shouldn't be punished for it.
I understand that the umpires didn't want a brawl and didn't want the game to really get out of hand, and the ejection of him and Torre was fine, in my opinion. But the suspension was not. Josh Towers should have been suspended if the league was paying any attention to what was done the night before... you don't happen to just throw at a player's knee twice by accident, especially when it is known that the entire team hates him all because their infielder couldn't catch a fly ball as he yelled "HA!" when he ran by. Maybe he shouldn't have said that, but most likely a major league player shouldn't be affected by that and should catch a routine fly ball. Blame yourselves for that, Toronto. I won't even get started on Gibbons either, he's an idiot and I don't really feel like bashing him tonight.
Ah well, enough writing for me... I write enough at school and don't really know why I even continue this blog sometimes, but I figure I can rant about stuff that pisses me off and is absolute BS... like this for instance.
Go Yanks, the division is still within reach...
