Coco Crisp charging the mound after being hit on the hip by James Shields. (Thursday)
Seeing those videos, and hearing his post-game comments on BBTN and Sportscenter, he will be lucky to be only suspended for ten games. Complete lack of remorse. May have killed his trade value out of his moronic prick-ness.
And of course, Jacoby Ellsbury gets hurt later in the game. And the Orioles come in to Fenway next week. Suddenly I feel better about that

You forgot the part that Coco was responding to the second baseman (actually not iwamora) putting his knee down trying to injure coco on the previous sb attempt, which was probably out of frustration because they couldn't catch him stealing on a pitch out.
I didn't think that his comments were too out of line, but he was a bit more forthcoming than players often are in that circumstance. I particularly liked when he called the Rays "little girls" because they were scratching him and trying to claw his eyes and pull his hair on the bottom of the pile. He actually gave credit to shields for not throwing at his head, and to navarro.
He and shields will probably get like 5 games or so each, which will be only one game to shields because he's a pitcher. The people who should get the biggest suspensions are people like gomes, who came throwing all kinds of punches like usual (he's the one who charged in from right field, think it was against the Yankees) and got into it. In my opinion the Rays were completely bush (like always) and couldn't just let it be about the pitcher and the batter. Rather than trying to break it up, they escalated the situation This actually goes to the manager before that, as well.
Oh, btw, I don't think it's considered classy to revel in other teams players getting hurt (ellsbury).

Shields was aggressive the whole game, there's always bad blood between these two teams and it really wasn't as bad as it looked. That hog Gomes can't throw a punch if his dick depended on it. They were weak.
As far as the Manny and Youk situation.. who the fuck knows. This is the one time that I don't like Manny being Manny but I can forgive him as long as his hammy is ok and he's back soon.

Yeah, pretty much everyone (commentators and players) siad the manny youk thing was a non issue, and was generally something that just wasn't caught on camera but happens a lot on every team. Youk was probably just pissed that manny was bitching about his hammies, when youk was supposed to have an off day but ended up playing a position he's never even played before for the whole game.
