Dustin Pedroia: Barkin' At Ya

Do not mess with Mighty Mouse.

Fausto Carmona found that out when he drilled Dustin Pedroia in the back in the 4th inning of tonight's game in Cleveland, and Dustin barked out an f-bomb as he took first base. The best part isn't that cute little Mighty Mouse said "fuck" clear as day on camera, it's that the Indians broadcast team clutched their pearls in shock like old ladies when they saw Dustin drop the f-bomb.

A ballplayer who cusses! I do declare!

Then, to make matters worse, Dustin was buzzed near his head the next time he came up to bat- and the Cleveland commentators then proceeded to say he needs to shut up about it. So what if he got hit the last time at bat? Yes, it is complete and total accident and coincidence that Dustin got pegged one at-bat, and then buzzed the next time. Dustin is clearly insane for thinking that maybe, possibly, Carmona is doing it on purpose.

And they also dismiss any beef Dustin has with the idea that they might "wanna show Pedroia some tapes of when Pedro pitched for Boston." That argument is a perfectly logical one, no doubt. Carmona clearly has the right to bean Dustin because a guy that used to play for the same team three years ago (before Dustin even showed up in Boston) also used to bean people. Makes perfect sense!

I've got video of the second incident after the jump... and how come the umpire gives the crazy eyes to Dustin, and says not a word of warning to the pitcher? (I am clearly biased here, I know)

I can't believe they were saying there was no need for the language. Let's see them get hit with a Fausto fastball. You should also put up the video of him almost getting hit again in the 6th.

Unbelieveable performances tonight though by both Beckett and Carmona. It's unfortunate the Sox lost this one as the Skanks won again.

Added it- though word of warning: those commentators pissed me off mightily with their cavalier treatment of Dustin. NOBODY BEANS MIGHTY MOUSE AND GETS AWAY WITH IT.

Makes me what Beckett to line those 2 idiots up and throw fastballs at their heads and see how they feel. Are they kidding? Loved the first one...chirping? How about in pain from a kidney shot fastball. Guess they don't use cuss words on Ohio. LOL Everyone knows he wasn't trying to hit Dustin on that last one...but you can't blame the "rookie" for being pissed. And to bring up Pedro is assinine. Yeah, they pissed me off too.

It just sucks that it was so close a game that Beckett couldn't retaliate. And while saying Pedro liked to pitched inside, wth heck does it have to with Mighty Mouse. alot of pitchers pitch inside why not bring them all up.

I'm glad you posted this, Texy. I didn't know anything about it. Those guys are assholes. I won't restate everything you guys already have, but I would point out that Carmona threw the ball right at his fucking face the second time. As if because he's a rookie, he should keep quiet about being possibly killed.
Unbelievable.

I just remembered that earlier this year one of the commentators got reprimanded for dropping an f-bomb on the air. So I'm not sure why they're so pearl-clutching about it.
