I thought I’d give you guys a quick recap of the last 5 games since I haven’t been blogging lately.

**Jeter broke Lou Gehrig’s record on the 11^th getting his 2,722^nd hit & 2,723^rd hit. (sorry for the horrible quality of the mini-schedge)

So, I’m not even going to reiterate on the figurative a$s-whoopin’ that happened last night, but I will go over the literal a$s-whoopin’!

From alllllll the recaps I saw on Sports Center, Around The Horn, PTI, and the Yankees Pre-Game Show I can tell you that I honestly do not think that Melancon threw the pitch at Aaron Hill on purpose. Mitre? I’m not really sure. It could’ve been intentional, but maybe it wasn’t. Only he knows.

We all know Carlson was just backing his players up when he threw behind Posada. I applaud him for that. Why? That’s loyalty. His only problem was that he chose the wrong Yankee to prove his point with. Don’t you know Jorge’s a Puerto Rican!? You don’t mess with hispanics, Carlson. lol jk. Posada was clearly peeved and immediately started walking around saying “You don’t want to do that!” With bat in hand, he continued to pace around while the benches cleared and the ump gave warnings. I could’ve sworn Posie was gonna go at him with the bat. =X That definitely would have been interesting.

Everyone finally went back to the benches and Posie got himself a walk. Brett Gardner came soon after and brought him in for a run. On Jorge’s way past home plate he ended up elbowing Carlson. In my opinion, Carlson brought it upon himself because he was standing in the way, but I digress.

That’s where it got ugly. Release the hounds! Or at least the benches…For this part of the night, I’d love to give it a hashtag as they would in “Twitterland”:

The Yankees bench cleared MUCH quicker than the Blue Jays’ bench did…if it even cleared at all! So, they got down to it. Jete, in typical Derek fashion, tried to break up the fight, but the poor thing didn’t have a chance. Damon flew between the two & Teixeira came from behind to get to Carlson. Then Z.Z., Pettite, & Burnett. After that, it was hard to identify anyone! I had to rewind the recaps over and over to figure out who was who!

The giant mob then split in two as Edwar Ramirez, that little stick of a man, dragged Barajas by his catcher’s gear. Shelley Duncan was on top of him probably trying to get some punches in. Swisher was trying to get an opposing team member off of them. Then, Cito Gaston got Edwar in a chokehold to get him to release Barajas. Ramirez turned around and while still holding Barajas with one hand started fighting Gaston off with his other hand. This was my favorite part of the fight. I couldn’t stop cracking up.

In the end, Jorge was “escorted” back to the dugout by Pettite & Sabathia. Girardi left the
mob with a black eye and a bloody ear, Carlson left with a nice shiner (compliments of Posada). Carlson, Posada, and Duncan all got 3-game suspensions, but Shelley is going to appeal.
