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.

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  

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  

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  

That was entertaining

But Sexson is definitely at fault here

by Elmstrosity on May 8, 2008 8:36 PM PDT reply actions  

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.

Wait, Cairo and Bloomquist are in...

Who is our late inning grit? Who will pinch run?

by Smegmalicious on May 8, 2008 8:39 PM PDT reply actions  

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

I kind of want someone to have to leave the game…it’ll force squinty to do something interesting.

Props to Richie

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

by Matthew on May 8, 2008 8:41 PM PDT reply actions  

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  

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  

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  

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  

Using bat=attempted murder.

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

by Aaron Campeau on May 8, 2008 8:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by Smegmalicious on May 8, 2008 8:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

And I'm sure if he didn't throw his helmet

the rest of the Rangers would have let him and Kason just talk it out.

Christ.

by Matthew on May 8, 2008 8:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

Look, I'm just saying I think it's a weak ass move

It looked stupid, it was pointless and I don’t like it. Whatever justifications we’re using it’s a matter of opinion, and you’re not just automatically right because your opinion differs from mine and i’m not right because mine differs from yours.

I don’t recall a lot of mound charging prescient, I’m just saying I thought it was weak. I don’t see why you have to be an ass about it.

by Smegmalicious on May 8, 2008 9:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

That's not my logic because I'm not fucking retarded.

You use whatever you can in a fight, but a bat is not one of them because you’ll land your ass in jail. How many baseball brawls do you see where they actually land a punch?

Yeah, leaving Felix in is insane.

He’s had shitty control, what if lets a pitch get away and nails another batter? You have another brawl.

Not to mention the obvious part about there being no reason for him to pitch anymore tonight.

by Happybelly on May 8, 2008 8:54 PM PDT reply actions  

I respect what Felix is trying to do here...

...he feels the need to go out there and give at least one more inning to help the pen out. I admire his sense of responsibility, but somebody should pat him on the back, thank him for his consideration, and send him to the showers.
