If you want to know why Red Sox fans hate the Yankees, think about this.
Joe Torre says " it was one pitch one player that cause the problem." Don Zimmer says "He's embarrassed." Where were Zimmer and Torre when Roger threw at Mike Piazza in the 2000 World Series. That was okay because he's a Yankee. Roger Clemens has hit many a batter in his time and would think nothing of throwing high and very tight for any reason.

As a Red Sox fan its not easy to say this, however I think the Yankees are a great franchise and deserve credit for the what they have done for MLB. That doesn't change the fact that the Yankees always seem to come out smelling like a rose no matter what they do. Don't get me wrong Pedro should not have incited the Yankees and given them something to fight for.

What Clemens did in the past has absolutely nothing to do with what happened yesterday. Granted, Zimmer charged Martinez, but come on...did he have to throw him to the ground? He could have backed off. And what about those hand-to-the-head gestures he made to the Yankee bench?
The Yankees and Yankee fans have the name for being boorish and tough, but Boston takes first place in the no-class dept.
