Yankees to sign Billy Crystal...no, seriously

[nyjunc]

In a week where they had a spring training brawl, how is it possible that people consider this an embarassment to the Yankees?

Sticking up for your teammates and retaliating after the Yanks perceived the collision a dirty play is embarrassing?

I find it bush league and embarrassing.

[Wisemise]

Yeah, and did you see the slide that led to the whole thing? Now that is bush league. A well deserved suspension

[love_that_reefer]

Hey WiseMise, welcome back buddy! Yeah Cabrear and Duncan were suspended. Didn't see what Melky did.

Live from Seattle it's Alex Mise!

I didn't see what Melky did, but I can't believe he was suspended as many games as Duncan. Gotta watch the tape...I'm cool with Shelley being suspended though.

I have no problem with people playing hard and sliding through the base, but what Duncan did was classless. Keep your spikes down. Do not bring them up to groin level. He's lucky to get out of it with just 3 days off.
To get back to Billy Crystal, he didn't look too bad up there. He was over-matched and the pitcher took it easy on him. No chin-music, no breaking balls in the dirt. I think the situation was handled very well, but I wish Billy would have been able to hit a fair ball. I might have bunted the first pitch, but that would have gotten me dusted off.

Tensions were high btw the 2 teams, we all knew something would happen. Why is it when teams do thing slike this to the yankees it's ok b ut when the Yanks actually stand up for themselves it's not ok?

The suspensions were fair, I have no problem w/ the punishments handed down BUT the Yanks were sending a message more than being "classless". They aren't taking nonsense anymore and I like it.
