Classless Organization

As you can tell from the title of this post, it's about the New York Yankees. Whether it's blatent cheating (A-Rod slapping Arroyo, A-Rod tackling Pedroia, etc...), lack of respect of the game like A-Rod yelling "MINE" in Toronto, (saying fans do it to him all the time, so he figured it was ok...jerk), or Hank Steinbrenner and his profanity laced tirades about Red Sox Nation and curses, it's obvious the Yankees, especially these current Yankees have no class whatsoever. Rumor has it they're gonna sue the guy who buried the T-Shirt. Hank Steinbrenner was his usual self saying he hoped his coworkers "beat the (bleep)" out of him.

Tonight, Manny Rameriz hit two homeruns. That's cause Manny is the man. Then he came up to the plate and Kyle Farnsworth threw behind him. One of those "If you can't beat them, bean them." Or better yet, "If you can't beat them, odds are the front of your jersey has an interlocking NY on it."

Beckett was masterful, and pitched into the 8th. With two outs, and a four run lead, A-Rod came up to the plate. The announcers wondered if Beckett would retaliate and throw at A-Rod. A part of me wishes he did. A-Rod hasn't ever been thrown at by the Red Sox as far as I can remember. He was hit by a curve ball in 2004 by Bronson Arroyo and made a big stink about it which resulted in a bench clearing brawl, but he's never actually been thrown at. Maybe once by Okajima. I can't remember. Not enough based on all he's done. Anyway, a part of me wishes Beckett did drill him in the rear, but he didn't. Instead, he challenged him and got him to ground out. You could tell Beckett really wanted to get him, cause the ball was hit to second base, and Josh ran and made a diving attempt at it. He didn't get it, but Pedroia was there to throw him out.
