Seriously?

Michael Jordan NEVER did that after the tip off. That guy was an assassin and he did whatever it took to bring the other team down. His focus was laser. He wanted to beat you.

When the Bulls used to play the Knicks when they were good under Riley, Jordan wasn’t kootchy kooing Patric Ewing during the TV time outs.

Jeter likes to smile and chat with a runner in scoring position.

I love the guy and what’s he done for the team, but I feel that his edge has softened with age and success.

How Gomes who wasn’t involved in the play at 2b and ran up to Shelley to attack him from behind gets fewer games than Shelley and Melky is a disgrace.

I really hate Bob Watson. He’s got a bone up his tush for the Yankees ever since he was let go.

Was Shelley seriously on the verge of tears? I want audio if not visual.

As for Jonny Gomes and the rest of the crybaby snitches, are they even really worth the waste of pixels? Let them feel good about themselves if they want, in the end the pics are there for the whole world to see of Gomes flying into Shelley and then getting punked harmlessly flopping to the ground like he was Anderson Varejao (uh, except without the premeditated intent to flop, of course. lol)

I do think Melky should appeal his suspension though. I’d at least like to know where/what this ‘sufficient evidence’ is that he threw a punch….although frankly, I’m pretty old school about these matters and I’d be proud of him if he did. But it’s fine if he didn’t too, and I actually suspect that he might not have because the it was originally reported no punches were thrown…then a couple hours after the game I started hearing about “a punch may have been thrown.” Hmm a couple of hours after the game, aka in just enough time for the D-Rays to go whining to Bob Watson (who everyone knows has a total hard on for us) about some phantom punch?

I almost feel bad for Longoria; what with his team whining about him getting hit by a pitch that barely grazed his jersey and then the little girl tears about him all of a sudden supposedly getting punched, he looks like a complete pansy before he’s ever even had an official Major Lg AB!

For years, I’ve been saying that Posada should be the captain. Jorge sets a great example, is outspoken, and leads the team. Jeter is an awesome player and a “winner”, but a captain he is not.

As far as the suspensions go…3 games for Shelley is fair, as is 2 games for Gomes, but 3 for Melky is not. Shelley incited the incident and Gomes escalated it. Melky’s punishment should be the least of the three.
