If baseball had enforcers like hockey, would Pappelbon and Ramirez be able to showboat as much?

That would be awesome, and I hope that Girardi, unlike Torre, has the to throw at some of these guys when they start throwing at them. That used to be the way it was. Now that they cracked down on retaliatory action, all the ******* are coming out of the woodwork and showboating. The Red Sox seem to accept, if not revel, in the sbags they sign to play in Boston.
