(d) punching an opposing player while wearing a catcher’s mask;
(e) yelling while on the playing field;
(f) standing at home plate watching your batted balls sail into the night; and
(g) pumping your fist and/or yelling after striking out an opposing batter
are all “bush league” acts when performed by Yankees players, and “playing hard” or “throwing oneself into the game” when performed by Red Sox players.
I didn’t watch the game. Who is that? Pedroia?

And, the above is from Sox fans!
The rule is simple:
(a) slapping at glove of an infielder;
(b) pitching at a guy’s head;
(c) running out of the basepaths;
(d) punching an opposing player while wearing a catcher’s mask;
(e) yelling while on the playing field;
(f) standing at home plate watching your batted balls sail into the night; and
(g) pumping your fist and/or yelling after striking out an opposing batter
are all “bush league” acts when performed by Yankees players, and “playing hard” or “throwing oneself into the game” when performed by Red Sox players.
Very simple rule.

Is it just me or is Pedroia quickly becoming the most hated Red Sock? I can’t think of anything I like about the guy, he’s just a douche
