Inside Ramirez-Youkilis incident
Multiple Red Sox players confirmed yesterday that Thursday night's dugout altercation between Manny Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis resulted from Ramirez objecting to what he believed was excessive - and chronic - complaining about the strike zone by Youkilis in the dugout, as well as the first baseman's penchant for throwing equipment after at-bats. Before the fifth inning Thursday - and after the Red Sox-Rays punching session - Ramirez was caught on NESN cameras slapping Youkilis. The pair were also exchanging words, and had to be separated by teammates, coaches, and training staff. Youkilis headed out to the field still barking at Ramirez, while Ramirez was escorted into the tunnel leading to the clubhouse by bench coach Brad Mills and trainer Paul Lessard. According to three sources, Ramirez had told Youkilis to "cut that [expletive] out." That was what provoked Youkilis and started the problem.

Big deal.
I heard a wonderful punishment for the two. Wind sprints while holding hands - in front of the Fenway faithful.

I think I would rather have Youk than Paul O'Neill. "Mr. Yankee" was nothing more than an overrated fan favorite who was made out to be Reggie Jackson

And I honestly believe it won't matter that much. This is a good team. They will have disagreements and I think Francona makes them work it out before the relationship sours any more.
