I use to like you john... [Just kidding]

I found a baseball dictionary that pretty much summed it up the same way... I was wrong.

All good. I actually knew the term was head-specific for a beanball. I used to be a little league umpire and it was in the rulebook.

I once saw Jamie Moyer get both benches warned on a pitch inside... On a high 60s low 70s change up... He was pretty rattled by the whole incident.

Well, this is the majors and this is the postseason. If that game was a regular season game, Pedro would have been possibly tossed right away. I'm not sure about Roger because that pitch wasn't even close - Even Little said so. The in-between incident would have gotten Pedro and Zimmer tossed most likely.

The umps can warn both benches in any situation they feel like they need to - to prevent things like brawls. They may have put the warning out there too early on Saturday. They should have let Roger nail Manny and then warn both benches. It may have even given Boston a better chance at winning the game because the Boston hitters were on their heels the rest of the game.

Also, this is the postseason. They won't throw people out the game as quickly as they do in the regular season.

Clemens didn't even come close to the cry baby and should n't have been tossed

I see Zimmer being tossed and Pedro not being.. Pedro was just protecting himself or at least he was in my eyes.

Agreed.

Agreed again.

Wow. Game Seven, I love game Seven. Crazy stuff happens. Wood on the mound. Should be a great game. I may leave work early just to watch it if the Yanks clinch tomorrow (I work late).

I watched only a half inning of that game. Fortunately, it was the top half of the 8th. I wonder if that fan got linched! Too bad it didn't happen to the detriment of the Yankees. It would get them back for a couple years ago.

But come on, you've gotta love game 7. Game 7s are what make baseball great!
