"Kick his ass, Youk!"

Round 1...FIGHT! Kevin Youkilis of the Boston Red Sox and Rick Porcello of the Detroit (go figure Detroit would be in a fight) Tigers got their brawl on last night(Both shown above giving thug hugs). after Youk was beaned in the back with a Porcello fastball, Kevin decided that it was bogus and clearly felt the need to express himself. seeing as Youkilis is a hothead, i figured he would go out there and demolish Porcello, a young 23 year old slim pitcher...but Porcello held his own and brought the Youkster to the ground. Youkilis also broke a few of the unwritten rules of baseball in this fight, one being NEVER EVER EVER! throw your helmet at somebody. if you are going to charge the mound atleast do it right. tossing the helmet is just something you dont do. Porcello did a great job of bringing the fight to the ground instead of a swinging slugfest which he might have lost. Porcello, being a young pitcher, clearly didnt know what to do in that moment tho. an experienced pitcher would have known to start moving towards either third base (where Brandon Inge who is a big dude and a protector plays) or first base where another big guy is likely to play. the one thing about a baseball fight is that EVERYONE comes out, which is nice to see that everyone has your back. once the two combatants are subdued the rest of the teams just stand there like they were going to do something..but never do. overall i give the fight a 6/10. it wasnt the worst but it wasnt the best. i expected more damage to be inflicted with Youk clearly being pissed beyond belief. i tip my hat to Rick Porcello for taking it to the ground tho, SOMEONE must watch UFC. maybe he trains with BJ Penn.


Former Celtics coach Rick Pitino is in the news today too, and not for a good thing. in an odd series of events, its alleged that Pitino raped a woman at a gym while the trainer (who is now married to that woman) was downstairs. he then did it again a few weeks later at a restaurant. the stories go on to say Rick then paid a few thousand dollars to get the woman an abortion, and somehow the woman is supposedly extorting Pitino for money in one way or another. i have no idea about this story, but it seems really fishy to me. i dont believe it. i guess ill just have to wait til full details of this nonsense come out before i make my judgements though.

Pitino, pictured above, is the current basketball coach at Louisville.

not alot going on today, but the baseball fight should hold your attention to make this be a worthwhile post, haha.
