We have to hit Jeter tomorrow if we get a good lead.

Complete accident by CC. Old school says you don't throw at Jeter.

If there's retaliation its less for Nick getting hit and more for CC begging for a strike call after Nick was hit.

Gregg is a team player so if he's in and a beaning hasn't happened already a Yankee is going to die.

He would probably nibble at their ear...

Well Dempsey said he hoped CC wasn't throwing at him,, but an 0-2 count in that situation to throw in like that. It seemed Rick was suspicious of CC's motivation. I'm not so sure it was an accident.

I also thought it was low class for CC to argue for a strike instead of showing concern for the guy he had just hit and hurt.

Just win the game. That is enough for me.

If they wrecked our playoff chance we need wreck theirs. They would get suspensions also.

Are we supposed to just lay down?

They didn't wreck our playoff chances. Seriously have you been paying attention to this team at all this season?

And the BEST way to respond is by taking 3 of 4 and moving into sole possession of first place. Anything else is BS.

Only some kind of sick jerk would advocate purposely injuring another player over this. Get real.

Protecting your team and teammates has been part of baseball since they started playing. I'm not saying hurt someone but you have to stand up for yourself and your team.

Then you can consider me a sick jerk. Either Jeter or Cano needs to go down tomorrow.

[Sparkwinder]

The sad thing about it is the pitch didn't miss by much, and that if Markakis did what you are supposed to do (get out of the way or turn your shoulder into it), this wouldn't be an issue. It was unlucky. Under no circumstance do we give them a free base runner or a reason to throw at one of our guys. That's just idiotic machismo.

Exactly, this.

Teixeira re injured his calf on that stupid dive to end the game.

[dslats715]

There is no reason to peg anyone tomorrow. It is the breaks, but retaliation for 2 strike fastball that blatantly wasn't intentional to harm is dumb.
