Upon further review

The Associated Press story made the incident sound like a fight out of "Rocky."

It was, of course, a baseball slap/hug fest with lots of movement and little else.

Also, Posada barely, if at all, touched Carlson on the way by.

While DJ may be an MVP candidate, he's not the best guy to have around in a fight. Standing on deck, he starting yelling and easing his way toward the action, then slowed, but kept yelling. Waiting until more bodies closed in, then sort of entered the fray. Of course, A-Rod did much the same thing.

Oddly, if you just saw a quick shot of the scrum, you probably couldn't tell if it was a rumble or a celebration.

High marks for Shelley Duncan and Eric Hinske plowing into the middle and extracting key Yankees.
