Top 10 Takeaways from YoukilisGate

10) Bobby Valentine hasn't quite understood that he no longer works for ESPN

9) Only in Boston is your emotional commitment deemed as important as your physical commitment

8) April, and 10 games into the season, is the perfect time to make your team leaders question the manager's loyalty

7) Just in case you haven't realized it yet, Boston's gone back to Amateur Hour in the GM and managerial chairs

6) If you get hurt, Valentine clearly feels that you can be insulted back into health

5) After this incident, Youkilis may not be the only person in the clubhouse with a sore groin

4) Dustin Pedroia doesn't know what Valentine is trying to do, which means Pedroia has the good luck to have never worked for a bad boss

3) Boston's sports media is more than a little thrilled to bag a scalp this quickly

2) Give Nick Punto 50 to 100 at bats, and Valentine will, in all likelihood, never make this mistake again

1) There are only six more guys on the roster who make eight figures for management to alienate
