It was an act of the utmost in unsportsmanlike character; an act that took aim at embarrassing the opposing team's coaching staff, players and fans. I have to assume that there will be some bad blood on the other end of something that happened last night in Major League Baseball and the next meeting between these two subjected teams should be very interesting and entertaining.
Last night in Motown, the Detroit Tigers went for a two-point conversion not once, but twice in a lopsided pasting of the New York Yankees. Call it piling on, calling it padding stats, call it what you will...this was purely uncalled for and humiliating and there's just no place for it in sports.
16-0. Not 14-0, because that just wasn't enough of a cushion to satisfy Jim Leyland's club last night. I cannot determine the motives behind adding insult to injury against a team that clearly had no resolve or resiliency last night, but my heart goes out to Mike Mussina and the rest of that beleaguered Yankee pitching staff who couldn't seem to gut out a decent pitch.
The fines and/or suspensions that may or may not be handed out for this senseless behavior have yet to be stated and Commissioner Selig was unavailable for comment this morning. One can only hope that justice is served once all is said and done.

Hee hee hee. I was watching the last few innings at the West Coast Saloon last night, wearing my Sox hat. A guy wearing a Yankee hat was up at the bar. As I stood there waiting for a drink, I looked up at the TV, casually glanced over to the Yankee fan, made eye contact, and giggled a little bit. He replied, "Eat shit" and turned his barstool away from me. Gooood stuff.
