I thought Verlander was going to dust him first pitch of the game Tuesday night.

He didn't merely slide into him feet first - contact was made with his chest and arms. If he didn't hit the guy, he would have "slid" eight feet past the bag. It may not have been intentional, but it was very late, and, at the very least, borderline dirty. It certainly wasn't clean.

misscamaguey Posts: 3,612	It is nothing but sower grapes from Johnny come lately. I never liked the guy and every one on this board knows about it. He is still upset because the Yanks didn´t give him the contract he wanted and he ended up with the Tigers about 10 games down. He won´t smell Playoffs this year and will have to beg for a job next year. I looked at him with that horrific hair style and the difference between Johnny and the Professional Yankees is night and day. He belongs with that crowd. Let him bark all he wants, we don´t have to hear from him anymore. He might have to play next year for minimum pay.

Carp Posts: 2,617	The key quote is: Aug 19, 2010 -- 9:17AM, HammerofGod wrote: "Obviously, I feel bad about Carlos getting hurt. I wasn't trying to hurt him," Gardner said. "I don't think it was dirty at all. I could have went in with my spikes and I didn't. I hit him with the front or the side of my leg. I didn't think it was dirty. Some people probably do, and that's that." I agree with that 100%. With that being the potential last outs of the game, I would have charged in and spiked at his ankles/shins. Carlos should consider himself VERY lucky that he didn't get it worse than he did. ...The big pu$$y.

DITTO ! It was an uncalled for dirty slide and quite intentional. Johnny just called it the way it was as well as Paul Oneil called it like it was. This is not the first time Gardner has gone in hard or late knowing it is a dirty play. There is no place in baseball for these types of plays. Injuries happen by accident often enough, a player should not do things intentionally to add to the risks.

Oh PUHHHHHLLLEEEEEESE! A few nites ago, many of the Yankee "loyalists" in here were ready to emasculate Siwsher for not sending Molina into orbit on a play that wasn t even CLOSE at the plate. Simple fact, Gardern was playing major league baseball and that means going inot second base HARD to break up a doupbel play. In todays game you better be READY to hit the deck too, becuase the player throwing to first will nail you in the face with his throw if youre in the baseline standing up. Is that too rough too?
