Dempster beans Arod

[D-Lite]

No doubt A-Rod was going to get beaned in the series. I had a feeling it would be Dempster to be the one to do it because he gives us the worst chance of winning a game. He would have let up several runs even if he hadn't hit A-Rod.

I love how after the game Dempster denied that he intentionally threw at A-Rod, lol.

And I don't think anyone expected him to not get hit, but, when it's so obvious and also so obviously trying to make a statement, why deny it? Dempster and Farrell look like *******, especially with Lackey and others being so vocal. Again, makes ARod look like the sympathetic figure which is just wrong.

I think Cashman would have thrown at ARod.

Because then they would look silly considering the only reason they won a championship is from cheating themselves.

Yeah he should have admitted it. It was so obvious so when Dempster had the post game interview and denyed it, I almost thought he was joking around and being sarcastic. That didn't seem to be the case as he might have not admitted it so there is less of a chance of him being suspended. ::shrugs::

The Yankees not retaliating says something to me.. Unless arod said hey don't sweat it.. cc should have buried a burner in pedroia or Ortiz's ribs. I don't care what the player did you get his back!!!

I was wondering why the Yankees didn't retaliate and I thought, well...it is AROD. If it was any other Yankee, they should have retaliated.

Lol those Boston fans do them some loose in shape men..

I hope every pitcher continues to plunk him. Not at the head or junk (if it hasn't completely shriveled) but a nice plunk in the ribs or leg.

Him and ManRam.

Look, you won't find many Yankee fans if any that want the ARod shennanigans, but all crap like this is doing is turning him into a sympathetic figure. Before this, the supposed leak about him leaking the names, etc, no one was on ARod's side, but now you'll find many more fans taking at least a middle ground that I would've thought.

He threw one behind him and then hit him. How Dempster and Farrell weren't ejected is amazing.

Anyone who thinks taking a ball in the armpad makes Arod a sympathetic figure is either an idiot or blinded by the pinstripes.

This is Bronx Zoo pt 2.

I find it amusing considering how close the Red Sox were to signing this guy.

 

[notjomommasclint]

It's probably safe to assume that every championship team in the last 50 years has had a roid user.

Or is looking at the bigger picture.

ARod is stupid and can't keep his mouth shut, but at a certain point with all of his denials you have to at least wonder what the whole story is. I mean, can anyone really lie to this extent with the impending release of all the supposed evidence?

 

[notjomommasclint]

I'll be honest..

I'm more pissed off at numb nuts for hitting arod and getting a crooked number hung on him in the inning than I am at arod for doing peds!

Loved ARod goiing yard on him. Took the Dumpster deep.

Ryan Dempster gets a 5 Game suspension.


Now, what are the odds that he appeals so he doesn't miss a start?

He'll appeal and win.

 

[hive17]

So not only is A-Rod now guilty until proven innocent, he's punished before proven guilty. I won't defend A-Rod in any of this, but that doesn't mean I won't say something about a chicken-XXXX move like that attempted "bean".

He probably won't appeal so he can get a weeks rest.

It would have happened anyways even if he didn't bean A-Rod. Hell, if the ump tossed him like he should have, it would have done the team a favor.

Just saw this quote on WEEI, almost made me spit out my water:

After Sunday's game, Rodriguez declined to say whether Dempster should be suspended.
"I'm the wrong guy to be asking about suspensions. Holy mackerel," A-Rod said with a laugh. "I've got an attorney I can recommend."

Taking a lesson from the Roger Clemens book of denial.
