and stop chasing batters when they get upset

Just let them say their peace unless it’s over the line.

Every sport is getting way to touchy with these things

Anyways, Jeff.

The only reason I was happy the Rays lost was because Jackson shut us out when we faced him. Otherwise, I cheer for the Rays.

Spoke too soon, moron.

That’s what you get for improperly using past tense. 8-3 Rays.

Good. Now they can win and Jackson won't get the win.

Now we can all be happy.

I think I'm gonna take the next series off.

Or maybe the next two series.

Might as well take the rest of the season off.

And hey, since they’re just gonna keep trading their prospects away for eternal mediocrity, just stop cheering for the M’s altogether. You’re lucky you’re a fan of the best team in baseball.

Nick Johnson's current OBP: .409

Even though he’s only batting .216 right now. He’s just that unlucky on balls in play right now.

Don’t trade for him though…a hustler like Jim Bowden would end up with the M’s entire farm given that he’s negotiating with Bavasi.

Richie got one high near his head and he went ballistic

rushed the mound, threw his helmet at gabbard, and pounced on him. Then the benches cleared and Felix got into the middle of it and went nuts too

by marinator on May 8, 2008 8:36 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

We beaned two guys, then someone threw a high fastball at Richie

Then Richie charged the mound, threw his helmet at the pithcer and a very emotional clusterfuck ensued.

Good times.

by Smegmalicious on May 8, 2008 8:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That was enough to flip back and watch the replay

Throwing his helmet was just like when Sweeney charged Jeff Weaver.

Also, Manny once charged the mound once on a Roger Clemens pitch up and nowhere close to him too.

by Gomez on May 8, 2008 8:35 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

That was entertaining

But Sexson is definitely at fault here

by ColeFitz on May 8, 2008 8:39 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

In other words...

It wasn’t close to Richie’s head at all, he was just looking for the closest excuse to start a brawl and “ignite some fire”... or some lame baseball cliche’.

Fans are typically idiots.

Just Sexson, but our only bench players left are catchers.

most of the time, the charger ends up looking like a fool. Richie landed some serious hurt on Gabbard.

Throwing his helmet was.

He could have at least punched the guy or done something less girly. He’s the biggest guy on the team! Give me a break.

by Smegmalicious on May 8, 2008 8:45 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

throwing your helmet is not pussing out

it’s smart fighting. He had a potential weapon, he used it, and then bowled into the guy.

by Matthew on May 8, 2008 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No, it's not.

If you use that logic he’s dumb for throwing the bat. A helmet is not an effective weapon, it’s light plastic. He should have tackled the guy or punched him or something. As it stands he bounced his helmet off of him then kind of ran into him. Not very impressive.

by Smegmalicious on May 8, 2008 8:49 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No I'm not, I'm pointing out a flaw in your logic

your’e saying it’s smart to use a weapon in a fist fight. I’m saying by your logic he should have used the bat.

If you’re starting a fistfight, you use fists, not helmets or whatever. To me, watching this a few times on the DVR, it looked like he was pissed and then ran out and kind of didn’t know what to do so he threw his helmet instead of actually fighting.

by Smegmalicious on May 8, 2008 8:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Using bat=attempted murder.

Throwing helmet=he shields his face and is mostly defenseless.

by acblue on May 8, 2008 8:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Throwing his helmet is bush league

you don’t throw shit at people in a fist fight, you just don’t. I don’t know if you’ve ever actually been in a fight, but it’s just not done unless you’re a hobo flicking a cigarette at someone, or a punk in a bar throwing glasses and shit. I’m a bouncer, I see and get in a lot of fights, if you throw something at someone in a fight you’re going to get a ton of people on you fucking you up because it’s just not done.
