Batter-up with Bruno:
You kidding me?
ESPN.com reported that New York Yankees manager Joe Giradi wants Boston Red Sox pitcher Brad Penny to be suspended for "intentionally" hitting Alex Rodriguez in the back during the first inning in Thursday's game in which the Sox won 4-3.
From the New York Post:
"I do [think it was intentional]," said Girardi. "Penny's control was pretty good. We hit [Jason] Bay [Tuesday]. I always feel if it's intentional, [the pitcher] should be suspended. I didn't care for him hitting him in that situation. That's my opinion, I am not 100 percent sure."
Boston led 1-0 until catcher Francisco Cervelli blasted an RBI double in the seventh inning to the Green Monster to tie up the ballgame.
Then later in the inning A-Rod finally came up big with a two out single to drive in two more insurance runs.
The Red Sox would rally in the bottom half of the eighth to take a 4-3 lead and Jonathan Papelbon came in to close the deal going 1-2-3 before A-Rod could get another at-bat.
Well guess what A-Rod?
Yeah, that's right.
Thanks to Fenway West for Twittering the initial news.Keeping you posted folks.
