Cito had a great line, something along the lines of "Hey, we aren't making the playoffs, so they have a hell of a lot more to lose than we do. They probably shouldn't do such stupid things."
Being a veteran that Posada is, he should have known better.
Bill Lee ruined his or almost ruined his career because of a brawl like this.

These two teams even though not the same rivalry. Really don't like each other.
Even last week Towers, plunked Ruiz in the Jaw. But being a tough guy he was back playing the next day.

Both players were suspended for 3 games.
True but for 3 games NY can manage with Molina and Cervelli. Posada got off lightly IMO.
agreed
So they each got 4 games, but since they are not appealing, it got dropped to 3 games.
Since when does MLB reduce suspensions for not appealing them? Isn't that the whole point of the appeal?

Now this is true which I wonder how much is it intentional.
During the Torre era they really didn't throw at hitters, in fact I believe Torre was not for it.
Sad, because they were the punching bags in the AL for a while...Pedro used to hit the Yankees a lot.
I wonder if the Yankees peaked too soon.
it would make my day but boy, would it be a real let down for Yankee fans if they lost to either the Tigers or Twins in the division series.
Like I have said before, you hate the Yankees more than you love the Red Sox.
It's happened before and it wouldn't surprise me either, that's what I love about Baseball.
OK, let's say you have $10,000 to bet. Who are you placing it on for the World Series? Straight up...no odds or anything.
Ichiro hits it high, it is far, and it...is...GONE! Mariners win! Theeeeeee Mariners...WIIIIN!
They look like they are slowing down.
So, how's that rear view mirror looking??
Could be an interesting week, with the Yanks playing Anaheim and the Sox playing KC.

I said it before, the Sox are not dead and the schedule favors them.
It doesn't look too good, they seem to have slowed down a bit and of course the Bosox are hot now.
Joba isn't doing too good of late.
AJ has been unpredictable
Andy needed to rest.
CC has been real good the last 8 games.

That's a pretty good impersonation.
I believe the words you are looking for are "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear".
Thanks for nothing Baltimore.
Yankee pitching needs to get better and soon.
The Bombers have lost 18 of their last 23 games in Anaheim.
Close, but most definitely not true.
Playing 162 only to lose 3 in the division series is heartbreaking for every playoff team but when your the Yankees and have pretty much dominated since the beginning of June, it would have to be particularly heart wrenching.
Not that a game makes that much of a difference, but I wish the ALDS was seven games like the rest of the series'.
You can pretty much rule out the National League.
Realistically, the Yankees will beat the Tigers or Twins.
So it comes down to the Yankees, Angels and Red Sox...
Beckett
Lester
Buchholz
Matsuzaka
v.
Sabathia
Burnett
Pettitte
Chamberlain
v.
Lackey
Weaver
Kazmir
Santana
Saunders
Of those three rotations, I think the Yankees are the worst with the Red Sox second and the Angels number one.
Pitching wins so I guess I'd say the Angels but if it was truly my money, I'd bet on the Sox or nothing in this instance.
I completely agree with you there. Didn't the NBA used to have a best-of-5 first round also? Best-of-7 is better.
I think I will survive, considering you placed them at 4th place I am proud that they...again made you look bad.
You really think the Angels have a better rotation?
I think Bostons better to be honest, the only Yankee I trust would be CC right now....maybe Pettite if his tired shoulder can make it.
Like you, I only trust CC.
Pettitte, Chamberlain and Burnett have been shaky of late.
Lester has been dominant, Buchholz has been excellent and Beckett is starting to come back to form. If Matsuzaka is there, the Red Sox could win the Series.
The Angels have a solid rotation - I like Lackey, Santana has looked sharp of late, Kazmir is coming around - as much as I hate him - Weaver is a solid pitcher.
Bullpen wise - with Bard (shaky performance last night in the rain), Wagner, Papelbon, Okajima, Saito and some lesser names behind them, the Red Sox might have the edge there.
Who knows - thats why the playoffs are fun.
