Quite a scene at McCoy Stadium last night. Devil Rays top prospect Delmon Young flipped his bat at the home plate umpire after being called out on strikes. The ump was hit on the chest, although he was wearing a chest protector and wasn't injured.

Mr. Young is going to be in for a very long suspension. You just can't be throwing things at the umpires, or officials in any sport. I'm guessing he'll be gone for at least 20 games, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was 25 or more. And since Young is in the minors, the MLB Players Association has no jurisdiction. It's basically up to International League president Randy Mobley.

Sox are getting their clocks cleaned tonight. Josh Beckett gave up a grand slam in the first to the Indians first baseman Ben Broussard and the Tribe never looked back. Beckett ended up giving up nine runs in 3 and 2/3 and the Sox are currently down 14-3 in the 7th. Not a good night for the home team. As Jerry Remy said, at this point you just hope no one gets hurt.
