I kind of liked it. I liked the grenade. I also liked the drawing of the enlarged home plate in the dirt. How many games will this guy be suspended? Would it have been any longer if the resin bag "grenade" had actually hit the ump?
Anyway, Yanks blew 3 separate leads yesterday. What a shame.
The real shame is Mientkiewicz. I hope he's not hurt too bad. He's never been a great player, but he played an important role for the Sox in '04 and did it without complaining about his playing time. I thought Lowell's shoulder block on Cano was unnecessary and probably out of line. If Cano hadn't made the play at first, I think the out probably would've been awarded anyway.
But the collision with Mientkiewicz just seemed to be bad luck. He had to reach back in an unusual position to field the throw and it took him right into Lowell's path. I hope the concussion doesnt have any lingering effects.
