I'm thinking Giambi's getting ready to pop a vein.

So's Manny.
Pitching in and challenging batters is an integral part of how both Roger and Pedro pitch. It's psychological warfare up there. Even when they are pitching against other teams they use the same tactics.
I know Zimm had a bad experience way back when, but he's been around the game long enough to know what these guys are trying to do when they throw a brush back pitch. Hopefully neither team will give him a reason to leave his seat.
