For those who missed it the Tigers and Red Sox got into a bit of a scrap yesterday with both benches and bullpens emptying. Basically this all started Monday when Brad Penny hit Miguel Cabrera. The Tigers responded by plunking Kevin Youkilis. Cooler heads prevailed that day. Tuesday however, was a different story. Some pewch rookie for the Sox nailed Cabrera again. This time it was in the hand which would eventually cause Miggy to leave the game. This would be the point in the game where a responsible umpire would issue warnings to each manager but unfortunately that was not the case. Enter Tigers rookie phenom Rick Porcello. Although he maintains it was an accident, Porcello hit Youkilis again causing the "tough guy" to charge the mound and, wait for it, throw his helmet at Porcello. Porcello promptly pulled a card out of his UFC skill set and took Youkilis down. Youkilis was obviously thrown out but they also threw out Porcello without giving him a warning. If this was the National League they would have had to hit about 9 people before someone got thrown out. Boooooooooooo!
