Quote:Originally posted by JJI think Pedro just saw a blue jacket with a white interlocking NY and just flipped out. At that point, I don't believe it mattered to him <i>who</i> was in the jacket-- he just knew it was on a Yankee, and he wanted to be all bad and tough to the team he despises so much.
Look i know about pitchers being tough and having to pitch both sides of the plate, i was a pitcher for most of my still short life, lol being that im 18 and all. but the fact of the matter is that When a 72 year old man comes at you, you dont attack back, just back away. You have no idea what health problems or whatever the guy can have. Its just not worth it.
He's made no secret of his distaste for the Yanks-- threatening to plunk Babe Ruth on his ass if he were alive today comes to mind-- and he seems balls out determined to not be intimidated by anyone, and I mean anyone, in a Yankee uniform.
Chalk it up to his <i>machismo</i>, and bull-headedness. Zimmer was wrong getting into Martinez' face when the real issue at that point was whether Clemens threw too close to Ramirez following the umps' warning (which he didn't), and likewise Martinez should have walked away.
