Clemens, Torre Hit With Suspensions

Posted Aug 10, 07 3:14 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Roger Clemens was suspended five games and Joe Torre one for their part in Tuesday's contentious Yankees/Blue Jays game. The combative three-game series saw a number of incidents, culminating with Roger Clemens beaning Alex Rios in the back as payback for pitches thrown at A-Rod.

The bad-blood stems from an incident May 30 when A-Rod shouted "Ha!!" and successfully distracted Toronto third baseman Howie Clark, causing him to drop the ball.

    Slow Start Lands Yankees in Unfamiliar AL East Cellar Last place is unfamiliar territory for the Yankees. Since 1912 the Bronx Bombers have only finished there twice, compared to 26 world titles. This year, however, they have bungled their way to a 20-24 record and find themselves looking up, record-wise in the AL, not only at division foes like the Tampa Bay Rays but also at the Royals and the Athletics, three teams whose combined payroll is barely three-fourths of New York, reports USA Today.
