Dirty Sanchez

Forgive, gentlepersons, the perchance un-kosher post title. I simply felt the need to show the New York Post and their headline "Banchez," exactly how it's done.

By now, if you cared to, ya've heard a' the Detroit Tigers and Damn Yankees three (3) bench-clearing brawls ballgame. The low-light of all being the behavior of one Gary "Dirty" Sanchez. And what, exactly, did Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez tell this poor young man at their now famous meeting? I mean Miguel Cabrera started the whole dang ball of dung rolling, but the Sanchez sucker-punches took the shame cake, for soiten. A move that Pedro Martinez is right in pointing out, will haunt him for some time. League-wide. Good.

Lettuce break now, to take a roll-call of ejections:

• Thompson (Coach) 
• Betances (Relief Pitcher) 
• Cabrera (Designated Hitter)
• Romine (Catcher)
• Girardi (Manager) 
• Kahnle (Relief Pitcher) 
• Wilson (Relief Pitcher) 
• Ausmus (Manager)

Hats off to them "boys being boys."

What now follows are some random thoughts I shall delve into further on the 8/27 Kaplowitz Radio go. [I shall link that HERE whenst aired.]

What about the Ghandi of Detroit, one Mr. Something Martinez? The Tiger whom chatted it up with "Dirty" Sanchez after the guy sucker-punched his teammate? JustinVerlander was rightly pissed. But why are the peacemaker commentators so upset with him? They're calling the brawl a black eye to the game, but throwing the pacifist under the bus? It don't add up.

Many are blaming the umpire for losing control. In fairness, how would ya maintain said control? Plus, the fella looked to be barely of Bar Mitzvah age. A green blue??? Sure, 'twas a game twixt a terrible team and one tenuously holding onto wild-card hopes. Why not a green blue?

Now the 'They' wanna “ban bench clearing brawls.” Automatic suspensions are being called for if you run onto field? Does MLB want to stem this? Of course not; or at least they shouldn't. Would we be talking about this schlep of a match-up if not for a lil extra-curricular fun?

Manager Joe Girardi blames the umps? His Damn Yankees are the ones fighting for the playoffs. He should look in the mirror.

And what about James McCann? Body-slammed, then beaned in the head, then homers! That, gentlepersons, is both how it's doned and why helmets are donned. (My recommendation to "Dirty" Sanchez is to wear two from here on out.) Let these guys duke it out, I say -- from the comfort of my own couch. 

Brawls are a part of the game, particularly here in the game's dog days of summer. Ya gotta love it, or look into Soccer. Hey, non-Canucks pretending to love Hockey; check out Baseball whenst the benches clear. Plus, no one flashed gang signs a la the NFL... so we got that going for us, which is nice.
