Kyle Farnsworth sent a blistering fastball at Manny Ramirez's head on Thursday night. Was it intentional?

In the eyes of Red Sox fans, it was. Kyle was just trying to throw off Manny's rhythm. In the eyes of Yankees fans, it was sweet and Manny had it coming to him.

As a Yankees fan, I thought it was awesome to see someone go after Manny. It shows Kyle isn't afraid of anyone, including Manny and the Red Sox.

This one pitch has started the battle for the AL East title a little earlier this year. It shows the Yankees are not going to roll over and let the Red Sox go back to the playoffs without a struggle.

If it all comes down to the last game, I guarantee you will see sparks fly. The nation will be reminded why these two teams are the most hated and most popular teams in the league.
