You cannot be serious, Michael Pineda? Less than two weeks ago, Pineda was surrounded by controversy for a mysterious substance believed to be pine tar that the cameras caught in his hand. Knowing that he probably dodged a major bullet, the Yankees pitcher couldn't have possibly tried to sneak pine tar in any other games, right?

In the second inning of tonight's Red Sox/Yankees game, BoSox manager John Ferrell walked out to the batter's box and had the umps check for any remnants of pine tar and what do you know, after a thorough inspection, they found some on Pineda's neck and ejected him from the game. Check out how it all went down in the video below.  

So, what hiding spot will Pineda think up next? Sound off in the comments section.
