Speaking of riots! I was listening to the game while driving home from our bike loop of Owasco and Skaneateles lakes yesterday. Not very cool. I saw the end of the game and the lowlights when we got home. I think its obvious that Pedro was head hunting, as Clemans has been known to do. The pitch to Ramirez however was OVER THE PLATE. Ramirez is widely thought to be the dumbest man in major league baseball but he played that brilliantly, make it look like Clemans responded so Boston wouldn't have the potential payback pitch hanging over their heads the rest of the game. Zimmer should know better than to take the traditional dance up a notch but Pedro did throw down a 72 year old man. I guess nobody in the media has a clear idea of what happened in the bullpen but Boston police say two Yankees may be charged with assault. I won't pretend to be neutral on this.
