It is about time someone got the rivalry going.
Gotta love Phillips inciting it and providing plenty of motivation for both teams heading down the stretch.

Baseball needs a few more bench clearings, and some punches too.
I am sick of seeing the Jeter's of the world slapping the Red Sox on the can.

Worse than a Jeter slap to the can is a Nick Swisher summersault at home and then laughing about it. You have to "Ray Fosse" that guy, Nick!

Baseball could use a modern day, trash-talking dixie cracker like Ty Cobb. They'd turn out in twice the numbers just to watch him run over Posada at home or crash into Jeter trying to break up the DP. Fans and the media love drama and who'd be more dramatic than a crazed lunatic with a big mouth?

Too bad Floyd Mayweather doesn't play baseball.

Swish ain't hard nosed.
He has grown on me a bit though.

Not too many of the Yanks are. Tex is pretty gritty I think.
Arod is an outright pansy.

Everytime he gets hit, bumped, or runs into something he looks like
a total girl scout.

[BuckedTooth]

Tex will throw hands.
Jeter and ARod will cuddle up in the corner.
Christ, Mo could be getting gang raped by Youk and Pedroia and those two wouldn't lay a finger.

Jorge isn't much to worry about either, he won't even block the plate. He seems like a hard ars but
I think is there was a scrap he wouldn't do much.

I want to see a knock her down and put the boots to your sister fight in MLB. The sport needs it.

ty cobb was not a gritty player. he was a cheap shot artist who intentionally tried to injure players. if you don't know the difference between the two, that says alot about your sports knowledge.

Yes, he was a cheap shot artist who intentionally tried to injure players (along with fans in wheelchairs), but to say he wasn't gritty just aint right.

Ty was the living model of the smartest players ever and he's ahead by FAR more then numbers and statistics. There was an invaluble baseball quality he had that would of course be impossible to describe in a short post. But, since that kind of thing is hard to sway people, I won't even try to go there. It's something that I believe he had, that drive, killer instinct, and intelligence, that puts him ahead of everyone else. Cobb was in the middle of all the action, upsetting infielders and pitchers, things the numbers just don't show. Always looking for the smallest advantage to beat his opponent, always thinking.

Maybe not Mr. nice guy to many, but this guy makes my team, I want him on my side

I think "brilliant tactician" would be a more appropriate term than "cheap shot artist."

sorry, ask any athlete. once you put cheapshot artist who attempts to injure any time possible in front of a player's name, anything you say after that is meaningless.

Ask any catcher. Who do you want heading for home. Ty Cobb or Nick Swisher?

I rest my case.

Not really. You live and die by the sword.
These guys are there in any sport, and they get their's.

[BuckedTooth]

ty would be in a world of hurt if he played today.

You and Ty go way back I see, probably went to different High Schools together.
Great is great. Doesn't matter when.
Go file your appeal.

[BuckedTooth]

proof you never played a sport in your life.

You got me there big guy.
I was a band guy that just hated all the attention "the studs" like you got.
Not to mention all the chicks you bedded.

I remember when Eric Lindros used to pull some cheap crap, then Scott Stevens knocked the piss out of him.
AJ Pyrzynski used to be a big mouth tough guy until Michael Barrett clubbed him upside his dome.
Pick any sport and I am sure there are plenty of cases of cheap shotters getting the business.

Stop crying about it and beat the guy scrub.
