Chin Music

I think it's safe to say that everyone is expecting Josh Beckett to give A-Rodacus a little chin music today. Does anyone think it would make sense if the opportunity arises, for the Yankees to take a pre-emptive strike and maybe throw a little inside to Big Papi? Say the Yankees go down 1-2-3 in the 1st. Then Karstens gets out the 1st 2 Sox batters. Do you buzz Ortiz? Let's say you're Joe Torre? If you're confident that A-Rod will get brushed back, do you do it first if you get the chance? Torre has never been one to "make statements," as Yankee fans have been calling for the Yankees to throw inside at Ortiz for years.

So I pose 2 questions to everyone:

1. Do you think Beckett will throw at A-Rod?
2. If so, do you go on the offensive and throw inside first, or do you take a wait-and-see approach?

I think Beckett will an I'm for going on the offensive. We've been asking for it for years. Now might be the time.
