It's about to get ugly up in that joint.
Joba The Fat just threw at Jason Bay INTENTIONALLY and pegged him in the back.
This just in: Josh Beckett is going to kick YOUR ASSES!!!I saw the look on Beck's face on the tight shot of him in the dugout after it happened. And it warn't purty. Mental note: Someone on NY is dead meat. Curtains.
Even Bay who is the most passive of players stared daggers at Joba as he made his way down the first base line.
The Circle of Violence continues.
It's waiting for us in Anaheim next week with the Angels after Beckett threw at Abreu's fat head. It's left over like a warm Lean Cuisine in the microwave. You know it's there. You started it. And now someone's going to have finish it. Best not let it go to waste.
Retaliation in baseball. "The Code"
Hit me and I hit you back. And that's not just lyrics in a Digital Underground tune.
Is it mature? No.
Is it necessary? Probably not.
Is it justified? Hardly.
Is it entertaining? Hell yes.
I suggest if you encounter this situation at a game, you take your kids up to the stands for an extry hot dog and some sodi. Food diversion. It beats the heck out of explaining to your kids why violence with a spherical ball exceeding speeds faster than your BMW used as a weapon on someone's head is OK. Like I said, it's about to get ugly up in this mug.
By night's end, hopefully someone's gonna get plunked on the Yankees end, or someone will charge the mound, a bench clearing brawl will ensue and Girardi will get ejected from the game. Again. I'm banking on all of it.
What is the valuable lesson we are teaching our kids with retaliation and The Code in America's favorite pastime? Violence begets violence. Hate begets hate. A 95 MPH inside fastball to the shoulder begets a 98 MPH fastball to the head and you had better duck.
And if someone throws at our boy intentionally, we're gonna drill one of your guys some day. Some time. Some where. It's just a matter of when. It may come today, or tomorrow ...it may be a few weeks from now. But it's coming. And then suddenly, the Yanks will remember why.
Because the day Joba hit Jay Bay in the back.
Wait for it ...
