I told you I had Pedro on the brain...I remember that last season....But the Piazza thing had nothing to do with retaliation...That was about Piazza owning Clemens. J.R.,

Thanks. I told you I had Pedro on the brain…I remember that last season….But the Piazza thing had nothing to do with retaliation…That was about Piazza owning Clemens.

Enough said. But the best retribution guy was Paul Quantril back in the day. One of his teamates got hit, so Quantril throws behind the batter, gets warned and then plunks the guy dead in the back. Badass. Last year Clemens plunked a guy after A-Rod was plunked and remember him and Piazza? Enough said. But the best retribution guy was Paul Quantril back in the day.

If the Yankees did this you homers would be saying "this is the toughness of Girardi showing" Get a grip, it was a kid trying to impress during spring training. Speaking of Girardi, I would'nt bet on the future of Joba, Hughes, or Kennedy. The guy destroys pitchers like Dusty Baker, except it only took him 1 year to do it. Just ask Josh Johnson and Anibal Sanchez, you can find them in rehab still. Are you kidding?

Time to show MLB that Girardi's Yankees are different. He should not have whined to the press though and should have simply made sure one of their players gets taken out next time the two teams meet.

It would have certainly made more sense with hindsight being 20/20. This kid is trying to make the team, or be placed at a higher Minor League level and this action may cause those in his own organization to feel he doesn't have a great mind for the game. However, if there is retaliation for this play later, it would make the yankees look like shit because the action taken would be with the intent to injure. I'm all for an eye-for-an-eye when it comes to pitchers hitting batters, but not for a play that was within the rules, no matter how stupid. Now if he slid way out of the baseline going into 2nd to break up a double play and had broken the 2nd baseman's leg, I would feel differently because that's just dirty. Catcher's know they will occasionally get popped at the plate, it's just unfortunate this happened to the kid in a Spring Training/meaningless game. I wonder how much Joe's fine will be for speaking of future retaliation? You make a great point about sliding showing hustle as well.

The kid doesn't have to barrel over a catcher to show hustle; sliding can be hustling too. If you think that it's a fine thing to do in a Spring Training game, then certainly you won't have a problem with someone on the Yankees injuring him later....perhaps when he's back on his AAA roster. What really sucks about this is that Cervilli needs the time and seasoning to make a run at BUC next year or in 2009. It will take him 4 months to be as good as new, which sets back his development. I agree with whomever said that Pete Rose went too far. Rose is an idiot. That was an All-star game and Ray Fosse was never the same after hurting his shoulder. I hope Rose cries a river about the HOF and NEVER gets in. (And yes, I realize that Fosse is not the reason that Rose isn't in the HOF, but sometimes karma is sweet).
