Kevin Youkilis had nothing to say after the game about the bench-clearing incident that occured in the wake of his being hit by a pitch from Scott Proctor, which resulted in Proctor being thrown out of the game.
''I got no comment on it,'' he told reporters at his locker. ''No need to fuel the fire around here. I got no comment.''
When asked what Yankee catcher Jorge Posada said to him as they walked to first base, Youkilis replied, ''There was nothing going on.
''There's nothing that needs to get put out in the public that no one needs to be aware of. What's [said on the field stays on the field], and that's it.''
Proctor denied he was throwing at Youkilis.
''It's a 2-and-2 count and we've been pitching him in throughout the year and I'm trying to make a pitch in and the pitch went a little behind him then I wanted it to,'' he said. ''I never try to throw at anybody's head. It's just not smart baseball. You're not trying end a guy's career. It's a danger zone and you're never trying to do that.''

Although they say it was unintended,I believe he was trying to hit him. Maybe the ball went a little higher then he wanted it to go! Too many batters were getting hit last night for me not think it was unintended!
