interesting is one way to put it. Francoa just pulled Manny out of the game for a pinch runner. When Boston goes back in the field, I'm gonna have to see who is playing where. Coco - ejected Ellsbury - hurt Manny - pulled here's the video of Coco charging. Looks like he took an @$$ whipping at the botom of the pile.

grainy replay and too far away to see anything, but Looks like Youk approached Manny when he was heading into the dugout. Don't know what was said, but looked like manny backhanded him. Youk got in his face, then Manny shoved him into the rail. Team mates broke it up. Youk just got hit by a pitch. For those of you keeping score Pedroia, Crisp, and Youk have been plunked for the Sox Iwamurra, and Crawford have been drilled for the Rays. Crisp, Shields and Gomes have been ejected for participating in the brawl. Manny and Youk exchanged greetings in the dugout. God I love baseball.
i think ellsbury is dl bound. it looked bad despite the xray. looks like gomes almost made it to the mound quicker than coco. that dude was landing some shots. he had some rage to let go. too bad shields' haymaker was just a bit outside. i didnt see the manny altercation. what the hell is that. youk is like the only sane dude in that group.
i would have loved for coco to have dropped cold to the ground, sheilds kick some dirt on him...then walk way.
yeah, it looks real bad. said they're going to re-examine it tomorrow. No broken bones, but I'm thinking an MRI is going to show some damage in there. Gomes may get the longest suspension of the group. Looked like most of his hits landed on Coco's shoulder. Crisp's haymaker was almost as sorry looking as Shields' they haven't said anything else about it. looked like they were just talking, then manny snapped. 1st time I see him lose it like that since the ALCS in '03 when he thought Roidger was throwing at him.
you can pretty much bet its some conspiracy in mannys head that youk took some stuffed animal manny sleeps with on the road or something. gomes is gonna get suspended about 5 games for being a moron.
Francona just said they were just having a little discussion about a difference of opinion.:hihi: that and a nice fine. Oh, and said that as of now, Ellsbury is "at worst" day to day.
looks like Manny might have tweaked his right leg when he had a check swing in that last at bat. probably precautionary by Francona. that was one crazy ass game.
