GAME 8: A judge in Boston has scheduled a hearing Friday to determine whether Yankees Jeff Nelson and Karim Garcia will stand trial for their part in the bullpen brawl at Fenway Park during Game 3 of the ALCS. The two may be charged with assault on Fenway groundskeeper Paul Williams, who appeared in the New York bullpen just an hour or so after the soon-to-be-legendary Martinez-Zimmer scuffle, from which no charges have emerged.
If you ask me, this prosecution is to the Yanks-Sox ALCS as "Rambo" was to the Vietnam War. The lengthy, impossibly difficult battle is over, we lost, and everyone feels horrible about it. So just as Stallone went back to Vietnam to essentially re-fight the war, let's try to make ourselves feel better by re-fighting the ALCS, this time in court!
Besides, what was our mistake in Vietnam? We left them in too long.
