Made all of NJ proud when he lateral dropped that fool

Piazza got 5 games, later reduced to 4, for charging the mound in freaking Spring Training back in 2003.

Sexson got 6 games last year for charging the mound and throwing his helmet at the pitcher last season, both of which Youk did last night.

I Cant Stand Him.
There’s a reason he gets hit sooooo many times.

The video says it all the Douche got slammed Plain and Simple!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

Youkilis is the ONLY BoSox player I like. I think it was a bitch move to throw his helmet, but him charging the mound allowed the BoSox to win the game. I suppose we can all question why Youkilis charged the mound, but I think he was simply trying to give his team a spark. Here’s a team that has lost 4 of 5, a team that has looked lifeless since the all-star break, and a team down 3-0 in the 2nd inning. That’s what a captain should do. Youkilis is the leader of that team, not Veritek.

Youkilis is the only player I would want on the Yankees. The dude is a team player and will do anything to help his team win.

It amazes me how the Sox fans can complain about Yankee players being “thugs” when I see things like this. Jeter can get intentionally nailed… and I mean NAILED twice in a single game, and you never hear him complain about it. He walks it off, then he takes his base. Youkilis gets beaned unintentionally, and he charges the mound and tries to body slam the pitcher. Papi practically tackles Jeter while Jeter is covering second, and Jeter just gets up, dusts himself off, and keeps on playing. He even has a smile on his face afterwards, because it’s called a HARD SLIDE. A-Rod slides hard into second, and Pedroia on tv after the game, whining about A-Rod trying to take him down. It’s just ridiculous.

The more I hear that this situation or that situation in a game is a bad, foolish, or unlikely occasion to throw at somebody, the more I believe that ballplayers just don’t see it that way. Call me nuts, but the first batter of the SECOND INNING is the perfect time to back up your slugging teammate who just got plunked. First of all, there are over 7 more innings of baseball left to make up for any harm putting Youk on base might cause. Also, you might not have that big lead later in the game – do you just let Cabrera get plunked 2 games in a row? No- you plunk Youk the very next inning so it’s clear to everybody that it’s payback for what just happened. This probably explains why Porcello initially raised his arms, palms up, when Youk charged, as if to say, “But this is how we pay you back for hitting Cabrera – it’s unspoken – why in heck are you charging?” Bottom line, I’m over questioning when in a game a batter gets hit – unless it’s an offspeed or breaking pitch, I assume it was intentional. These guys are running on adrenaline, play a 6 month schedule (which allows for make-ups), and virtually bunk down with their teammates – that loyalty counts for much more than the measly run Youk might end up scoring in the 2nd. Please!

Did any of you actually watch Miguel Cabrera being ‘hit?’ The pitch was almost out over the plate & it appeared that it may have hit is bad. Yes it hit him in the hand & he had to leave the game, but it wasn’t an intentional beaning by any means if you look @ where Vartiek set up his glove & where the pitcher threw the ball. Cabrera almost leans into that pitch.
Next inning Porcello throws one inside to Victor Martinez in which VMart gives Rick a dirty look.
The next batter (Youk) gets plunked in the back. It looks unintentional (you can tell by Porcello’s reaction he didn’t mean to do it), but enough is enough at that point. You nearly pegged one guy & then the next batter you drill in the back. The BoSox pitcher didn’t mean to peg Miggy & Tigers pitcher didn’t mean to peg Youk, but the retaliation factor should have been enough to go after him.
I will agree that he was a douche about it by charging w/his helmet off attempting to tackle Porcello. I hate Youk more than any other player in baseball (except maybe Manny or now Pedro), but he certainly has grounds to do what he did last night. This is coming from a hardcore Yankee fan too!

I almost feel sorry for the Red Sox. First they find that Ortiz is a juicer, then they get their asses handed to them on a silver platter in the 4-game sweep, then there are all these articles talking about Youk being a douch, his on-field antics, his behavior. Sad sad month for BRS and their fans.

Ha, who am I kidding? I’m basking in the glow of all this! What’s that saying, karma is a bitch? The BRS are getting it now.

I’m expecting a lonnnnng suspension out of this. But then again, there seem to be certain rules for the Yankees and then certain rules for the other teams. Just because AJ got a 6-game suspension for not hitting a batter doesn’t mean that Youkilis will even get suspended for charging and body slamming the pitcher. But if there is justice in the baseball world, Youk better get fined AND suspended. Honestly, it’d be a blessing for everyone to not see his weird at-bat wiggle dance for several days.

I’m interested to see how this will turn out. No news on the (unlikely?) suspension yet.

Both have appealed. Look for Youk to drop the appeal Saturday, so he won’t miss the Yanks next weekend.

It was pointed out here that Cabrera leaned into the pitch, but Youklis is one that is constantly leaning over the plate. As such, he is going to get hit because there’s little time to move away.

Throwing the helmet was typical of this hothead. Sure he’s a good hitter, but you have to know that you are going to get hit when you dive into a pitch. Jeter dives into pitches too and he doesn’t have the same reaction when he gets hit.

As for Lowell throwing his helmet, big deal Paul O’Neill did that all the time. As long as he doesn’t thow it at someone (like Pukelis did), it’s okay. Lowell’s always been a class act, while Puklis is a class clown.

Throws his helmet, tries to wrestle the dude, bitches & moans in the dug out…If he had any fortitude, he’d have dropped the helmet then charged him with his fists, whaled on the scrawny jerk and taken a couple of teeth out and then stomped on him when the moron Porcello was on the ground. Kinda sad to think that he won’t have the guts to do anything to the goon Joba the next time they face each other (and joba throws at his head). If you’re gonna take a 5 game “hit”, make it worth your while! Bottom line-you lost this one Youk.

Youklis got 5 games for charging the mound, throwing his helmet, and starting a fight…… while AJ got 6 games for "retaliation" and ALMOST hitting a batter in game. So does this mean if AJ would have just hit the batter, thrown his glove at the hitter and then started a fight he might have got less games? Does MLB make any sense whatsoever???? The Youklis suspension is a JOKE!!!!! Should have been 10 games!!!

Sportscenter called it a “mutual takedown” jeez their bias is almost as bad at the commentary in the USA Mexico game on Telemundo.

really hogs the plate. He’s also got an attitude that rubs many people the wrong way. Outside of New England I can’t imagine there’s many baseball fans who like him (except for Jewish baseball fans). He’s a very good player but I don’t know where he got this huge chip on is shoulder. Anyone that hogs the plate like that should know there going to be brushed back or hit at times. The game has gone soft. Hitters feel like they can do whatever they want and pitchers can’t move them off the plate or else they get a warning. Fuck the suits at MLB. They don’t know shit about how this game is supposed to be played, especially Bud Selig.

Youk just may be on Roids. That would explain the overly intense attitude. He’s so amped up.
