Nobody comes out of this clean. Pedro could have controlled all of this if he would have just got back on the mound and did his job instead of taunting the Yankees bench and constantly pointing at his head.
Garcia could have controlled the situation by going in to second base like a professional instead of trying to kill Walker.
Zimmer is completely wrong for going after Pedro later. Manny showed his lack of composure by getting upset at a pitch that was clearly over the plate.
How is that Clemens showed the most maturity?? That's probably the most amazing part. He kept his cool, did his job and New York won the game because of it.
Jeff Nelson has always been a hothead, so I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped the Boston employee. At some point, a person has to take responsibility for his own actions and act better than the situation. Someone waves a flag in your face, so it has to lead to a fight? Is this Junior High???
The umpires will set the tone early in Game 4.
You get paid like professionals, gentlemen. Act like it.
Pedro is one of the greatest pitchers of this generation, but he's not going to get the recognition he deserves if he continues to act like a 12 year old.
