I wonder what it was about. Maybe Youk's resentful about all that hair Manny's able to grow. Or maybe...was it after Youk went in after Jacoby's injury?...maybe he said something wise about how any moron can play outfield.
I *really* wanna know! (And I just saw the replay just now, w/ Manny being the one who threw the punch, so it's gotta be something Youk said.)
My vote is that Youk tried calling Manny out for not leaping into the pile while Coco was being dog-piled by the Tampa Bay Bratz fan club. (Lou Pinella's master plan finally starts paying off...) But somebody's gotta explain to Coco that you take what's coming to you (what a bogus fist-towards-the-groin) he pulled the day before on that "slide") and not get this kind of shit started with a team full of kids who have nothing to lose.
Ok, from what little I was able to glean on the internet at lunch, it appears that Mr Barma's theory is the prevailing one, though ain't no one sayin' nothin'.
I however cannot help but keep coming up with more interesting, alternative hypotheses. Like maybe Manny told Youk his hot Brazilian wife is way better looking than that gold-digging skank Youk's engaged to, and then Youk countered with a slur against Onelcida. It could happen :-)
Well first, by virtue of my early hours I missed all the festivities. Were it not for Jacoby's wrist (which doesn't sound too bad, fortunately) and the dugout foolishness (I vote for follicular envy) I'd be singing "Happy Days are here again."
Let's see what happens against the Mariners, another team which may still carry the taint of Saint Lou.
Word on the late night Sox This Week (or whatever they call it) is that veterans have been getting on Youkilis's case for throwing things in the dugout when he has a bad at bat, as well as for arguing balls and strikes (cause that can hurt the whole team with the umpires).
Right before the dugout fight, Youkilis had a long, warning track fly ball out. He was pissed at missing the home run when he went back to the dugout and threw his batting helmet or whatever. Manny told him to cut that shit out, Youkilis took offense, and Manny whacked him one in return.
So it doesn't sound sooo bad.
Sean McAdam said it wasn't Youk calling Manny out for not getting to the fight earlier, cause as the DH Manny would normally be back behind the dugout in the batting cage or up in the clubhouse watching video, and nobody could expect him to get down the tunnel and into the fight as fast as the other guys who were already right by the field. McAdam said that was early speculation by those without any hard info.
Ah, thank you! I didn't realize Youk was a thrower.
Probably if that skank golddigger girlfriend of his gave him more sex (or his mom breastfed him longer) he wouldn't be so prone to temper tantrums. That's what I think.

Sadly, I got home too late and missed the fight. Which sounds like it was a good one.
But I did see Jacoby hurt his wrist... eek, that looked ugly... hope it's not as bad as it looked like it could be...
Did you see that Youkilis and Manny get in a fight in the dugout? WTF?
I missed that! WTF? indeed
It was during one of the half inning breaks, but they did show the replay on NESN after, and after again.
I guess we can forget about the all that good chemistry in the Sox clubhouse!
Or maybe it's all the artificial testosterone chemistry coursing through their veins that did it. ;)

It was indeed after Jacoby got injured...
Maybe Youk said something about Manny dogging it as DH when Manny should have been playing the outfield, not Youk?

You'll see the fight from many multiple angles...
Leading one to wonder how serious MLB is about condemning baseball fights if their own media shows it over and over again!
