THE DAY WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

YES! I missed the first part of this yesterday. For that I apologize. On Monday night the Tigers and Red Sox traded a few bean balls. The Sox hit Miguel Cabrera and the Tigers retaliated by hitting our boy Kevin Youkilis. On Tuesday Cabrera got hit on the left hand in the first inning, and after the Tigers brushed back - but didn’t hit - Victor Martinez in the bottom of the frame, Youkilis got hit with the first pitch of the second. THANK YOU RICK PORCELLO! Rick, my new paizan, obviously was not going to tolerate the Red Sox taking out their frustrations of being swept by the Yankees on his team. Boy did he bury a pitch in Youk's back. This is where the good part starts. Youk had enough it. He charged the mound (normally a commendable move). First things first I will admit that Porcello looked like he wanted absolutely no part of Youkilis. As Youk began his charge Porcello backpedaled feverishly. Youkilis then took off his helmet and threw it at porcello...what a tough guy! Sometime around this point Porcello realized Youk must not be that tough if he's throwing his hat around like a sissy. Upon Youkilis' attempt to Bill Goldberg spear Porcello, Porcello threw a beautiful reversal into hip check tossing the bald loser straight to the floor and landing directly on top of him! THIS IS THE DAY OUR BLOG HAS BEEN WAITING FOR! I laughed while replaying this extravaganza on the dvr for at least 20 minutes (I have no life...I know).

To top of my amazing night I was present at the Yankee game where the Bombers went Back-To-Back...AGAIN! The 15th time this season the Yankees have gone back-to-back this season. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Matsui really crushed his. From my estimate-20 rows over the WB Mason sign in right field, just to the left of the 2nd deck porch and into the bleachers. Posadas was a Yankee Stadium special..6 inches over the short wall in right. The call was reviewed for fan interference but the home-run was upheld. The Yankees can't seem to get cold even if they tried. There has been a different hero every night and things are really getting very exciting. Up the coast, the Sox are really getting frustrated as demonstrated by Youkilis and his hat throwing temper tantrums. I'm in a great mood.
