Don't mess with my boy Shields and then reference Tampa players as "girls" when you're name is coco, ya fruit.

Do most Red Sox fans actually believe that?

I'm a Red Sox fan so I am probably biased, but I thought it was baseball. Crisp felt like he was wronged so he retaliated and then Madden retaliated at Crisp. That is the way it works right?
This notion that Crisp sucks is absurd. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean that he sucks. The guy is at best an average offensive player, but he is a gold glove outfielder. He has great range and has made some of the best catches I have seen in center. Part of the reason he gets injured so much is due to him being so aggressive in the field. So I guess he doesn't contribute to a fantasy team all that much, outside of steals, but he is a great glove in the outfield.
Exactly my thoughts as well. It seems as though Youk was chirping about Manny being so late to the brawl. Manny strolled out there along with Bartolo Colon once the fighting had begun. I hope they can resolve some of their differences. I thought they had team chemistry before this but this is terrible news.
Team chemistry is everything.
Seriously, I don't know why Youk would even care about that. It's not really Manny's job to go and fight people on the field.

Obviously. Most unbiased people can see exactly what he tried to do there.

What was wrong with it? It was a hard slide. He might have been intentionally going hard, but it's still not outside of the rules. I don't get why people are so sensitive these days. If you don't like it, do something about it. Shields and the Rays did and now both teams paid the price.
