Kyle Farnsworth 10 cent head Edition 4317
I have never cared for Kyle Farnsworth. This is a guy who once broke his foot warming up in the bullpen for the Cubs. Somehow I have always doubted the truthfullness of that even though I was watching that game on the tube. Seems like a Jeff Kent washing the truck story.
Regardless, last night after Manny took Mussina deep twice last night, and Manny owns Mussina, Farnsworth decided it was time to throw a 96mph fastball behind Manny's head.
As a Yankee fan the last thing I want to see is Manny mad and motivated. When you throw behind his head that is a major sign of disrespect on Manny's home planet. The ump didn't even properly do his job, he just warned both benches. He should have ejected Farnsworth and the league should review the tape.
Drill a guy in the ass or the thigh. Never throw at a players head. Send a message. Make the guy eat some dirt, but NEVER throw at his head. I don't want to see Boston throwing at Jeter's head, though at this point I wouldn't blame them.
Perhaps Girardi as instilled some grit into this team. That wouldn't be a bad thing except that when explaining something to Farnsworth, I believe you have to use very small words and really big flashcards.
