Fight Night: Side Card
Coco Crisp wasn't the only Sox getting into a dustup last night . Manny Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis got into a fracas of their own... with each other. During the break between the fourth and fifth innings, Manny and Youk exchanged words in the dugout-- about which no one knows (and Tito wasn't forthcoming in the post-game press conference). Whatever was said, it was enough to cause the ...

Just Another Quiet Day In The AL East [MLB Closer]
Deadspin — ... Oh, and just to confirm that the Red Sox are challenging the Oakland Athletics of the early 1970s as the most dysfunctional baseball family of all time, they also brawled within their own dugout on Thursday. Manny Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis went at it for some reason, and had to be separated by teammates. Oh, and there was a game. Ramirez hit his 503rd homer and had five RBI as the Red Sox won, 7-1. Boston moved a game-and-a-half ahead of second-place Tampa in the division. ...

Friday Reading: the fightin’ Devil Rays strike again!
umpbump.com — ... , plus the bizarre sideshow between Manny and Youkilis in the dugout. The team isn’t talking about it publicly, but our best guess is that Youk said something to Manny about lollygagging out of the dugout on his way to the fray and that Manny didn’t take kindly to it. (Personally, I’m on Manny’s side. Can you imagine the uproar if Ramirez had gotten hurt in a dustup with Ortiz possibly out for the season? Manny did eventually leave the game with a “hamstring problem” but I think his hammy was just angry—and as we know, in those situations, ...

Coco Crisp Is A Moron
Robots Took My Medicine — ... And please don't ask me about the Youkilis/Ramirez fight in the dugout.  I don't know what it was about, and it worries me a little, actually.  Rumor has it that Youkilis said something to Ramirez about the latter not getting involved too quickly in the fight (though I, for one, don't blame Ramirez for that in the least), and Ramirez responded by slapping Youk.  Texas Gal has video of that as well.   ...

I even like his intensity, but what I don't care for is his frequent griping over called strikes. Apparently, Manny Ramirez feels the same way. According to several media reports, the altercation between ...
