BOSTON -- The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry added yet another chapter of maximum intensity. The latest came on Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park, when a bench-clearing fight evolved after Boston's Bronson Arroyo plunked Yankees star Alex Rodriguez in the left arm on a pitch in the top of the third inning.

The Yankees held a 3-0 lead and the bases had just become empty on a double play when Arroyo's third offering to A-Rod hit the third baseman.

Rodriguez was agitated as he began walking to first, and Jason Varitek followed him a few steps up the line. Then the pair exchanged words and then they shoved each other.

Varitek and Rodriguez both wound up being ejected after the umpires conferred.

Both benches emptied immediately after the Varitek and A-Rod shoving match. Yankees right-hander Tanyon Sturtze, who started the game for New York, emerged to the first base side of the field and was tackled by Boston outfielder Gabe Kapler. David Ortiz and Trot Nixon then joined the fracas with Sturtze, who emerged with his face bloodied.

Sturtze stayed in the game and took the mound for the bottom of the third. However, Sturtze didn't start the fourth and left the game after he suffered a bruised right pinky finger. He was taken for precautionary X-rays.

Doug Mirabelli replaced Varitek on the Boston side, and Enrique Wilson came on for Rodriguez.

The Red Sox and Yankees have engaged in acts of hostility before. The most memorable fight between the two teams came on May 20, 1976 at Yankee Stadium. That fight was started when Lou Piniella collided at home plate with Sox catcher Carlton Fisk.

In Game 3 of last October's American League Championship Series, Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez hit Karim Garcia on the back of the helmet, setting off several melees that day, though there were no punches thrown in that game.

Maybe this will ignite the Red Sox so they can start making a run at the division. Seeing them 8 1/2 games back makes me sick, especially when they started off the season hot and the Yankees had problems.

Unfortunately, reality will strike and the curse will prevail. Last year's playoffs indicated this quite well, both for the Red Sox and the Cubs.

Go A's!!

fighting the catcher, good call. The guy with all the padding and a big thick glove, that's who I wanna rumble with.

Actually it started out with BOS hitting AROD and he said something back to the pitcher. The catcher ran half way down to first base where AROD was, AROD said "**** YOU" and Varitek hit him in the face. After that, both teams went crazy fighting each other!

I do agree that AROD shouldn't have said anything, but Varitek is the one who throw the first punch which shouldn't have happened!

umm didnt arod drop the f-bomb a few times before varitek really said anything to him in defense of his pitcher? any catcher in the world would ahve done the same thing for their pitcher. and the fact varitek went half way down the line doesnt matter, if arod is still yapping halfway down the line then y would the catcher walk away while the guy is still yelling at his pitcher? i dont look to assign blame to either sides because i think they all were chippy and it was bound to happen.

but if arod is still running his yap then u still have to protect ur pitcher! like i said do u actually expect varitek to just walk away and let arod run his mouth? this is competition and for him to walk away from protecting his pitcher against the YANKEES of all teams would be him getting punk'd! and THAT aint gonna happen!

Well, as a Cardinal fan for over 30 years, I'm not much of a Yankee fan ;)

As for Boston, it would be nice to see them "win it all" along with the poor Cubbies.

Everyone loves an underdog.

I like to rib my yankee fan friends telling them that 80+ million dollars and they

STILL can't win a world series LOL

:alien:

Varitek punched/pushed/whatever Rodriguez because he was talking ****...I don't think he's gonna let him just say whatever he wants. Had A-Rod not said a word and just walked to first base like he should've, nothing would have happened.

:huh:

Maybe if the damn pithcer hadn't have hit AROD, AROD wouldn't have said anything :huh: DUH!

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.

      New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
