Teixeira calls out Padilla's plunks
Quote:

Mark Teixeira called out Vicente Padilla after the game for twice hitting him with pitches, basically calling the righthander a punk for throwing at him because he can't get him out. "There's no reason for it," Teixeira said afterward, measuring his words calmly at his locker. "If you can't get a guy out, don't hit him." Teixeira said it's been like this since he hit two home runs off him when Padilla was with the Phillies a few years ago. And the fact that they went on to play together in Texas for more than a season apparently only furthered his lack of respect for the guy because Padilla would plunk other hitters for the same reason, and Teixeira would get the payback from the opposition. "It happened a lot," he said. "The 3-4 guys in the lineup get hit in retaliation, so I got quite a few."

Mark Teixeira's unexpected fire may be just what Yankees need to win title
