The story is circulating that A-Rod was not only unhappy about the pitch, but about a supposed ongoing conversation between Foster and the Oriole C.

Two Yankees for the price of one.


Its also fun as Girardi pitches a genuine Piniella - type fit, making a gesture apparently indicating the size he thinks Foster's manhood is..

The pitch was "fairly low" and "VERY outside"? Let me guess, OP is a Yankee fan?

Too close to take. Perfect pitchers pitch. Foul it off A-ROID!

Ya think? Girardi was fun to watch do a Piniella? Sounds like a dyed-in-the-wool fanboy to me, enjoying watching a rat go off on an umpire. Sheesh, even when Bud Black comes out on the umpire, I root for him to get run as soon as possible. I root for the umpire in rat/umpire confrontations.

A-rod got dumped the next inning, an idiot.
Arguing a call after the other teams at-bat, classic A-rod.

Girardi got dumped the next inning, not very Lou like.

As far as the pitch, it was 3 (ball outside), 2 (strike at the knees) count.
Better swing baby!

That definitely was a 'grab some pine, meat' pitch. A strike all day long in my games.
