MLB's Anti-Yankee bias shines through yet again

In breaking news -Shelley Duncan and Melky Cabrera were suspended 3 games and Jonny Gomes was only suspended for 2 games.

Thats right, the guy who ran in from right field to incite a benches clearing incident gets the least of the punishment.

Apparently Melky Cabrera punched Evan Longoria. If true, he deserves 3 games. However, for Gomes to get the least of the suspensions is ridiculous. He was the instigator.

The proof is in the pictures:




Before you all start commenting about how Shelley started it all, lets remember that his slide, while unnecessary and possibly dirty occurred within the lines and did not involve him running from across the field to tackle someone.

Way to keep it fair, Mr. Watson.

I am working on securing video of the Yankees and Devil Rays bench clearing brawl/fight/fisticuffs. However, it was NOT televised, so it is going to be a while until one of the local networks shows the b-roll footage they were filming from the days festivities.

To hold you guys over, here are some photos courtesy of the AP of Shelley Duncan sliding high and the ensuing antics. Remember, all of these antics took place after the Yankees starting pitcher Heath Phillips was ejected for barely brushing Evan Longoria with a pitch. This was all started the other day when first class idiot Elliot Johnson cost Yankees minor league catcher Francisco Cervelli 8-10 weeks in this unnecessary collision.

Jonny Gomes comes out of nowhere like a madman and tries to get at Shelley

Joe Girardi argues the ejections

Like I said, hopefully video will follow later!
