There are many ways to react to New York Yankees right-hander from Wednesday nights game at Fenway Park for having a smudge of pine tar on his neck.
You can moralize about cheating in baseball and try to figure out where pine tar stacks up against performance-enhancing drugs.
DraftStreet: Trevor Stanback Jersey
You can wax poetic about unwritten rules and why even though so many pitchers use substances to help them get a better grip on the ball, ejections such as Pinedas are so uncommon.
You can add another chapter to the tale of the rivalry between the Yankees and Boston Red Sox. You can wonder how long Pineda will be suspended.
Or, you can laugh at the whole silly thing and put aside some popcorn for whatever the next installment is between New York and Boston. Popcorn is good because its a strong snack option for whatever it is that youre watching.

George Costanza provides a good entre into the Pineda imbroglio, as two weeks ago, when Pineda appeared to Blake Countess Jersey have pine tar on his hand during his start against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, , and Joe Girardi said he had not seen anything on the pitchers hand.
Flash Ryan Ramczyk Jersey forward to Wednesday night in Boston, and there was Pineda with nothing on his hand, but something very definitely on his neck, as picked up by TV cameras and called out by Red Sox manager John Farrell. Since it hardly ever happens that anyone has an opposing pitcher checked by the umpires, lest their own piney peccadilloes be exposed, it had a feeling of the Red Sox getting their way by getting Pineda out of the game (with a measure of vindication for their lo s in New York), but also looking a little overzealous for enforcement of rules, given the unchallenged glob of goo on Jon Lesters hand Christian Braun Jersey during last years World Series. (Warning: language)
If you think that this is going to be the end of it, Girardi is certain to remember what happened, and know that the Red Sox have entered into a game that demands escalation. Girardi went to Northwestern and spent a good part of his playing career with the Chicago Cubs. Plus, this is Yankees-Red Sox, after all. One night in April does not end things, it merely sets the tone for what is to come.
For now, though, Pineda will face discipline from the league office, and he really has nobody to blame but himself. The Red Sox were willing to let him cheat, so long as he did it within the unwritten code of not being so darn obvious about it. But then Pineda was so darn obvious about it, and he had to be shown the door. Why is cheating okay if its done with a wink and a nod, stomped on only if Auburn Tigers Jersey Sale it becomes so blatant as to embarra s the other party? Theres something about that notion that goes back to a different era.
One thing you have to wonder, though, is how, after Pineda was Frank Gore Jersey so obvious about his pine tar use in New York, and knew the Red Sox would be watching, no experienced hand around the Yankees could show him how to do a better job of concealing his sticky-fingered ways.
The le son that Pineda needs to learn from this incident is as old as the ancient wisdom of the preachers from the Shaolin Temple.
