Are you tired, like me, of these knucklehead sportscasters talking about the etiquette of a baseball brawl? Obviously, they have never been in a brawl.
Even the ESPH guys like Kruk & Young had to weigh-in on proper etiquette to get their TV ratings on the story of a slow sports news night. I must have seen the replay a dozen times, over & over again. There is no etiquette. It's like road rage. You are not thinking straight.
All of it, in my opinion, is much to do about nothing. The Coco Crisp incident was much more entertaining last year when several Rays players threw sucker punches when Coca was already down. Youk ends up with a 5-game suspension.
Then last night you have Michael Felger talking about Youk hanging over the plate too much. Did Felger ever play baseball? Does he know, as a batter, that you have to cover the outside of the plate with your bat? Stick to Patriots football, Felger.
Back to Youk. His 5-game suspension will carry through the Texas series. Last night was no problem with no Youk & no Victor Martinez in the lineup. The rotation of Lowell, Martinez, Varitek & Ortiz should handle the next 4 games without Youk as well.
Enjoy your few days off, Youk. We'll need you for Toronto & New York next week.
