NEW YORK _ Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain was suspended for two games and fined $1,000 by Major League Baseball on Friday for throwing two fastballs over the head of Boston's Kevin Youkilis in the series finale between the teams Thursday afternoon.
But Chamberlain's ejection and ban, Joe Torre says, don't mean there won't be more rivalry fireworks when the Yankees visit Boston from Sept. 14-16. The manager said he understood the Red Sox were angry and realized they might pursue retaliation.
"Does that guarantee we're not going to go up there in Fenway and something's not going to happen?" Torre said. "I can't guarantee that."
