The Red Sux should change their name to the Beaners of Beantown

No I'm not talking about Mexicans I'm talking about how many batters they've hit this week. The beaners have hit 7 players in a span of 7 days. Ramon Ramirez has hit 3, Manny Delcarmen has hit 1, Junichi Tazawa hit 1, Brad Penny hit 1, and Fernando Cabrera hit 1. Ramirez hit Alex Rodriguez while the Red Sux were down 4-0 the day after he hit a game winning home run and today Ian Kinsler got plunked by Fernando Cabrera as the Red Sux were down and he was 2-3 with a homer. Seems like they're just hitting people because they are losing which is just wrong. Major League Baseball should be stepping in and warning the Red Sux especially Ramon Ramirez since he's hit 3 people in his last 4 appearances. You would think he'd get fined or suspended or some kind of penalty but no only pitchers trying to defend their batters like Rick Porcello get that. The fact that Boston is only hitting people because they're losing is just sad. I really hope the MLB steps in and does something but i doubt they will. I just feel bad for the batters who have to go up against Ramon Ramirez and the other Beaners of Beantown.

F Youk and the Sux

Kevin Youkilis and Rick Porcello got suspended 5 games for the fight last night during the Tigers Red Sux game last night and Edwin Jackson got fined for what they call "aggressive actions" for hitting Youkilis the night before. What I don't understand is why the hell did Porcello get suspended and Jackson get fined when there were 3 other Red Sux pitchers who also hit batters and did not get penalized. Pitchers throw at batters all the time to protect their players and are rarely suspended especially if they get rushed by the batter and attempt to defend themselves.
On Monday the Tigers Miguel Cabrera got hit in the top half of the fourth by Brad Penny and then Edwin Jackson hit Youkilis in the bottom half to avenge that. Then for some odd reason Ramon Ramirez hits Brandon Inge in the 8th and nothing happens to him. To start the game the Red Sux starting pitcher Junichi Tazawa hits Miguel Cabrera in the hand for no apparent reason. I would call those two pitchers throwing at the Tigers aggressive actions, more so then Edwin Jackson hitting a batter after one of his teammates got hit. To make matters worse it was Miguel Cabrera who got hit yet again and didn't respond like Youk. Porcello threw inside to Victor Martinez but did not hit him in the bottom half of the first. Then he hit Youkilis in the 2nd inning and what ensued was madness. Youk charged the mound and Porcello tried to avoid him back pedalling towards 1st base and then Youk threw his helmet at him and tried to tackle him which failed miserably. Now how do you get suspended just 5 games for throwing your helmet, intentionally trying to hurt Rick Porcello by doing that and trying to tackle him.
Kevin Youkilis should get at least 10 games for trying to hurt another player. This is ridiculous because his reasoning for charging the mound was "you have to defend yourself if you get hit two days in a row." I guess that means throwing a helmet at someone? I didn't see Miguel Cabrera do anything like that even though he was hit twice. Rushing the mound is one thing but throwing your helmet, that's just wrong. Why don't you just bring the bat too. Youk couldn't even take down a Porcello who is like half his size which was pretty hilarious.
Porcello gets suspended 5 games for intentionally throwing at Martinez and Youkilis even though he did say he wasn't trying to hit Youkilis. That's probably bs but he was just defending his teammates who got hit the last game and in the first inning of this one. Even though the last two batters that were hit were Tigers none of the Red Sux pitchers were suspended or fined, only Tigers pitchers who were just defending their teammates. If your going to fine/suspend 2 Tigers pitchers you're going to have to do the same to the 3 Red Sux pitchers who also hit batters which attributed to the chaos. It's just not fair and Porcello and Jackson were penalized and I hope he wins his appeal. If any pitcher should be suspended for throwing at batters its Ramon Ramirez who also did it over the weekend.
The Red Sux have been throwing at players for the last couple of days, maybe they're just pissed at how bad they got swept by the Yankees this weekend. The Red Sux pitcher Clay Buchholz threw at Alex Rodriguez's head on Saturday because he beat them earlier that morning with an A-Bomb. Then in the 7th Arod got plunked by none other than Ramon Ramirez who did get thrown out of the game but not suspended or fined. The Yankees also never tried to hit any Red Sux players. The Red Sux shouldn't get away with this and i wish the MLB would look into this and at least punish all players involved in the beaming as opposed to just the Tigers pitchers.

Damn Yankees

You would think after Alex Rodriguez's great 1st game and CC earning his millions the Yankees would build on that and get out of their normal April/May slump but no that didn't happen last night. It was embarrassing to watch them yesterday getting railed by Baltimore 12-5 and Phil Hughes couldn't even get out of the 2nd inning. It's just sad to see that 2 Yanks only come to play: an ex-red sock Johnny Damon and "number 2 in your program number 1 in your hearts" (Steve Somers) Derek Jeter. With a-rods return and CCs gem this team needs to build around that and win a few in a row. Mark Teixera has to step up now that the lighting rod is behind him. Maybe he can hit a home-run in a game that matters as opposed to all the ones he does hit when they're down too many runs that it matters. They need to step it up and make it look like they want to win. I just hope they're having the normal slow start and they can finish strong or Girardi will be gone and another year in which we'll be missing Joe Torre as he glides his way to an NL West division win and possibly the World Series.

I hope Brian Cashman is cutting his wrists because he didn't want to trade Ian Kennedy (0 wins in the Majors and out for season) and Phil cant pitch for shit Hughes for most likely the NL CY Young winner Johan Santana. What kind of moron doesn't trade unproven minor leaguers for one of the top lefties in the game? How does this guy still have a job after he got such great pitchers like Kei Igawa (56 Million) who cant pitch in the majors, Jaret Wright(21 Million) who isn't even in the Majors anymore, Carl Im always injured Pavano(40 million), Javier Vazquez (45 million) but he was decent but not worth it, Latroy Hawkins (4million) what a waste, Kyle Farnsworth who is the worst relief pitcher I've ever seen and who could forget Roger Million dollars a game Clemens which was a joke. But he got a 3 year extension which amazes me to this day. This idiot needs to be fired and maybe they should start watching what the Bosox do because everything they do is right and best for the team. Their farm system is amazing and everyone they pick up ends up doing very well (see Jason Bay beating the Yankees a couple weeks ago). They better right the ship or we're in for a long wait til football season.
