07:47 AM ET 06.04 | On the way to pitching a scoreless fifth inning, Cliff Lee and Twins centerfielder Carlos Gomez exchanged unpleasantries after Gomez flied out to right field for the first out. As Gomez cut across the infield toward the Twins' dugout on the third base side, Lee could be seen yelling at Gomez. When Gomez turned around to confront Lee, Tribe first baseman Victor Martinez grabbed him and tried to calm the situation. Several players from each team came on the field, but nothing happened. Last year, Lee and Gomez yelled at each other during a game at the Metrodome. Lee was angry because Gomez kept trying to bunt on him. In Gomez's first at-bat Wednesday, he fouled off a two-strike bunt to start the inning with a strikeout.

What a punk. Lee got his tighty whiteys in a bunch because a player dared try to bunt on him?

I assume you don't follow the AL Central much, there is been a simmering feud with the Indians and Twins for years now dating back to the Tom Kelly era.

Wow, I didn't realize this guy thinks he's the next Nolan Ryan. Check yourself, Cliff. Just let the moron strike out.

Yeah, but to yell at a player for bunting? It isn't like someone was trying to break up a no-hitter or something like that. What's next? Throwing at players after they get hits off of him?

Gomez is a young punk who doesn't get it yet. He hasn't learned or been told how to play the game right yet. Although I don't think bunting is playing the game wrong, I think his act rubs people the wrong way..

Apparently not many in Cleveland, have you seen the attendance figures for their home games...........awful!

Pretty much the same as Minnesota, both playing to 50% capacity in the stands at home.

I'm not a fan of either team but I'm curious...who is your team? Its always funny how someone disses another team but keeps their favorite team a "Secret."
