The Red Sox have won all eight games they have played against the Yankees this season, and it has become quite the embarassment to the New York squad. Despite being just behind the Red Sox in the standings, being swept in all three series by the Sox is not something the Yankees want to make a habit. What’s worse though, is that when managers and executives act like the Major Leagues is some sort of little league matchup.

Friday, a day after the sweep, Yankees Manager Joe Girardi apparently requested that Brad Penny be suspended for an intentional ball thrown at Alex Rodriguez. Despite the fact that there were no more hit batters for the rest of the game, Girardi felt that they the pitch by Penny was intentional and was worthy of a suspension. Be sure to take note of the fact that the Yankees have hit nine Red Sox batters this season, as opposed to the Sox hitting only three Yankees.
