Orlando Hernandez punched Posada in the face yesterday before the game... Here's the text from the Trib...
NEW YORK -- All was quiet in the New York Yankees' clubhouse Saturday morning before their nationally televised game with the White Sox.
Manager Joe Torre was in the dugout giving an update on the progress of Mariano Rivera's comeback from a shoulder injury. Roger Clemens was preparing for his start, and Jason Giambi was talking about the possibility of playing the A's, his former team, in the postseason.
But in a flash, the clubhouse quickly devolved into a scene worthy of a Quentin Tarantino movie. Pitcher Orlando Hernandez stalked out of the trainers' room after catcher Jorge Posada, screaming obscenities in Spanish. Posada turned around in time to see Hernandez toss down two hand weights and punch him in the face.
