Jorge Posada is the Wimpiest Player in Baseball

That was quite the embarrassing display put on by Jorge Posada on Tuesday night as he came off looking like a punk, wuss, and coward in starting the bench clearing brawl with the Toronto Blue Jays. It all began when Toronto's Aaron Hill was drilled in the back by a pitch in the top of the 8th inning. While that hit by pitch was probably unintentional, Toronto pitcher Jesse Carlson perhaps felt that he wanted to defend his teammate and he proceeded to throw a pitch several feet behind Jorge Posada in the bottom of the 8th. I think the pitcher in these situations should just go ahead and hit the batter instead of throwing behind him, but either way this is pretty standard protocol in baseball. Yet Jorge Posada whines about it and he starts to act in a "fake tough guy" way. Posada yells at Carlson and walks toward the mound but he was more of less just walking down the 3rd base line with the bat in his hand as he was too much of a wimp to go directly towards Carlson or charge the mound. The pitch didn't even hit Posada; he had no right to be upset. Even if he is plunked, he should just realize it's part of the game and take his base. If I was Carlson I would've gone ahead and nailed Posada in the back with the next pitch, but nothing happened the rest of the at bat and Posada ended up drawing a walk

However, Posada is not satisfied and after scoring later in that inning he brushes against Carlson near home plate giving him the little chicken wing elbow. That was such a bush league and cowardly move as he knows Carlson would kick his rear end in a straight up fight. Carlson yelled back at him before Posada ran towards Carlson inciting a bench clearing brawl. Posada was not exactly intimidating when he went after Carlson as he was essentially curled up like a fetus when he reached Carlson.

If Posada felt he was so egregiously wronged by having a pitch thrown behind him, he should've manned up and went after the pitcher right then and there. But wimpy Jorge just ran his mouth and threw a wussy chicken wing elbow later in the inning. His antics just showed everyone that he is the wimpiest player in the league.
