"Number one, you don't throw at a guy's head and number two, you don't call out the other team," Young said. "You go after a guy (Smith) that just came into the game and aim at his head? His wife is pregnant. The last thing you need is the birth of his child with his dad in a coma."

The bad blood between the clubs can be traced to last July 5, when former Tigers pitcher Esteban Yan was tossed after he threw a pitch over Rodriguez's head two pitches after a Gary Sheffield homer. The next night, Tanyon Sturtze hit Pudge Rodriguez with a pitch and was given no warning. Later in that same game, Ugueth Urbina was warned when he threw behind Sheffield.

Young says he sees a double standard when dealing with the Yankees.

"Esteban Yan got immediately ejected without a single warning," said Young, "even though Jon Lieber threw up and in on me and there was nothing said. You see where the protection lies. They're protected. They don't want anything happening to their big-ass investment over there." [daily news]

number one, quit with the drama queenery, because nobody cares. even the one person that has a right to be chirping isn't chirping about baby mommas and comas. number one a, while we're talking about what's fair and what's not, dmitri, if you're gonna walk the walk you don't do it with a bat in your hand.

number two, i was at the game where sturtze flattened pudge and urbina threw at sheffield. both benches were warned. number two a, sturtze at the time had zero contol over both his pitches and his body language, and clearly was hating himself for letting the ball slip. for that matter so did the stadium crowd, who let him know on no uncertain terms that intentional or not, hitting pudge was jackassery.

number three, there's a world of difference between being made to hit the dirt and getting something up and in from jon lieber. number three a, whining about being pitched to inside by jon lieber is pretty funny.
