By the way, anyone see Kevin Youkilis charge the mound last night?

Yes...is it just me or did Porcello get the better of him? Porcello threw him to the ground, not the other way around. The whole helmet throwing thing was unclassy, at best. There is etiquette in mound charging...drop the bat, keep the helmet on or get rid of it (crazy not to keep it on) and throw some fisti-cuffs ( you gonna get suspended anyways, make it worth while...LOL!!). But Porcello went towards the first base side (Sox dugout)...he should have gone towards the third base side. Brandon Inge did have a nice assisted tackle though...LOL!!! I see them both getting 5-10 games suspension for their actions.

Porcello held his own. Youk throwing the helmet was def unclassy, I think that will be reflected in the suspension he gets.

Right you are, Michael - he should have pulled a Pedro there in Fenway. Martinez was infamous for mouthing off, plunking batters, starting fights, then running into his dugout to hide behind the big boys.

And yeah, both players got a five-game hook from the Commish.
