    Does anyone seriously think Chamberlain hasn't been throwing at Youkilis?

    So when the ump warned Pedro that meant he was throwing at Garcia's head? Why have you maintained all these years that he didn't?

    I think he's been throwing at him and I think he deserved what he has gotten but clearly Beckett threw a purpose pitch at Abreu and clearly he deserved a suspension. It should have been a suspension to make him miss at leats one start but the pro-Sox anti-Yankee bias continues in the league office.

    I don't know, man, once Abreu called for time and got it he should have stepped out of the box. I know Becketts a dickhead, but it really wasn't that close.

    It was too close. I don't think he was trying to hit him but he was sending a message and anywhere near the head is too close.

    This is one of those occasions where I agree with junc.

    Sure, it's pretty hard to argue that Joba isn't gunning for Youkilis. It's also hard to argue Pedro wasn't gunning for everyone. And I agree that any pitch near the head is too close. Knees to shoulders, that's it.

    Oh and devil, I'm not bitter about anything, except how much the Yankees suck lately. I just don't like Beckett. At all. If I saw him on fire I wouldn't piss on him to put it out. He's a douche.

    If I'm not mistaken he still misses a start, 5 games = 1 start. Am I missing something? Either he pitches game 6 or 7 despite missing his usual start.

    Josh Beckett is really easy to hate.
