What took you so long to lose any and all respect for the King of the Yankee Douchebags? That's one of those lists you've gotta make a real effort to reach the top of: (from the 2009 Yankees) A-Rod, Shelley Duncan, A.J. Burnett, Josh Towers, Joba Chamberlain and on and on, but Jorge tops them all for me. What an assclown.
Here's where I lost any and all respect for him. Even though he only lightly brushed Jesse Carlson after crossing home plate, why bother doing it at all? Or if you're gonna do it, smash him, don't just give him a love tap. Looks like somebody took care of smashing Carlson in the ensuing melee anyhow.
9 days before this brawl the Jays' Randy Ruiz was hit in the face by the Yankees' Josh Towers on an 0-2 pitch. Picture
here. While I highly doubt Towers was trying to hit Ruiz, his 1.5 BB/9 career ratio suggest a guy with impeccable control. Sidenote: Anybody can have one get away, but Towers also had a reputation for protecting his own, or as he said following the game in 2007 in which he plunked A-Rod (when Towers was a Jay) in retaliation for A-Rod's "Ha!" game (Howie Clark and John McDonald mistook the utterance for the other one calling "Mine!" on a popup and the ball plopped to the turf - I thought Johnny Mac was gonna kill A-Rod - it takes a lot to piss off the Prime Minister of Defense, but A-Rod sure managed to [picture below]): "Gotta stick up for my boys". Back to 2009: Hill had also been hit earlier on the night Rod Barajas was dragged around by his chest protector in Yankees Stadium. As the announcer mentioned something had been building for a while and Pussyada just had to be the one to spark the powder keg...Because that's who he is. Schmuck. I hope he retires soon, because I can't stand him.
