TORONTO -- Plenty of Blue Jays took the route of "no comment" on Wednesday night when approached about the latest controversy involving Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez. Toronto manager John Gibbons wasn't one of them.
Sitting inside his office at Rogers Centre, Gibbons had plenty of kind words for the Yankees organization, but few for A-Rod. After all, a crucial ninth-inning play, in which Rodriguez appeared to confuse Toronto third baseman Howie Clark on a would-be inning-ending fly out, wound up costing the Jays three runs in a 10-5 loss to New York.

"One thing you know about the Yankees, one of the reasons they're so respected, is they do things right," Gibbons said. "They always have. They have a lot of pride and a lot of class. They play the game hard. That's not Yankee pride right there. That's not the way they play. I thought it was bush league."

The incident took place with two outs in the final inning, when the Jays were behind, 7-5. Yankees catcher Jorge Posada stepped in to face Jays rookie right-hander Brian Wolfe with Rodriguez on first base and Hideki Matsui on second. With the count at 3-2, the runners were in motion when Posada lifted a pitch from the reliever high in the air toward third base.

4. the rule book is fun!

7.08
"Any runner is out when --

(b) He intentionally interferes with a thrown ball; or hinders a fielder attempting to make a play on a batted ball"


A-Rod's new number may as well be 7.08...a shame he wasn't called out...the Blue Jays are gonna stick it in his teeth next time

5. Yeah he's damn lucky they aren't playing the Jays tomorrow

After the last out was made, they panned to the Blue Jay dugout and if looks could kill...
