if you go to gameday, watch the video of Miguel Cairo walking in the 4th

Another shutout in the works.

The awesomeness of the brawl has already worn off.

For those who missed it, go to gameday and click on the videos section.

It’s there.

this was fucking awesome

I was in the other room and i heard it, so I rewound and see a pitch not perticularly inside, but high…and Richie go full on hard jog at Gabbo. Throwing the helmet was fucking epic.

What the hell? Both Johjima and Ichiro get big contracts and now they suck??

On further review, yeah the pitch wasn't even close to his head.

However, Richie just shed some of his pansy reputation by actually doing something.

And Felix looks like he wants whip some ass.

It was totally stupid on Richie's part

but I don’t care, I defy you to find anything that energizes a demoralized fan base more than a brawl.

Guy was making his first start after coming off the DL

for a severe back injury….

I think becasue Gabbard got re injured, Sexson is going to get hung out to dry by the league office.

He did that last year with Doug Davis on the mound.

Chris Snyder(who apparently is really good at various martial arts) was right on his ass ready to kill him when he started towards the mound. The look of confusion on his face when Batista turned to 1st was one of the funniest moments of the season.

Dont forget,,,,

The M’s play Texas next week in Texas. I know Padilla starts in one game, and he doesnt care about hit batsmen. Another game i think is TBD, which means Texas could bring up Nippert and his 97mph fastball as a spot start,

Im more concerned with retalation than anything. A broken hand for Ichiro or Beltre would absolutely bury the rest of this season.

And on a side note, why would have Gabbard thrown at Sexson when he could have thrown at 2 better players earlier that inning?

by laxtonto on May 9, 2008 6:07 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Looked like he really wanted

To let some frustration out. But that was really unlike Richie, who has a rep for getting along with everyone.

Rotoworld
Felix Hernandez had hit two batters, so Sexson sensed it was retaliatory when Gabbard buzzed him in the fourth, even if the pitch wasn’t all that close to hitting him.

so, sexson was objectively being a dumbass

Let's quote Jeff real quick.
pretty much every single one of you, save for Ed Coffin and like four other people, are complete idiots, and you do Adam a disservice by posting your retarded bullshit on what would otherwise be a terrific website. Do the world a favor and stop typing. Let Adam take some pleasure in his work. He deserves it.

OMG HELMOCAUST

OK . . .

I’m not watching the game – just saw the replay on gameday. From the description, I didn’t realize that Sexson was that close when he threw the helmet and hit Gabbard so squarely. That could draw an unprecedented suspension, maybe 20-50 games. I’ve never seen anything like that in the majors.

Speaking of beer, I am so stoked

The local stores get the summer beers it about now, and Winco here brings in a belgian selection for the season – cheap Hoegaarden while supplies last!

by Jordan of Boise on May 8, 2008 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I bought an El Jeffe (or some approximation of that name) for later.

First summer beer of 2008 for me. Never had it before, so hopefully it’s good.

by acblue on May 8, 2008 9:41 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I bought some Hoegaarden last night.

Whole Foods - at least the one near my apartment - really, really likes Belgian beer.

by Teej on May 8, 2008 10:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Whole Foods generally has a good selection of Belgian beer.

Which makes sense, because it’s the most pretentious kind of beer.

I say this as a fan of both Whole Foods and Belgian beer.

if I made 3x as much money as I do now

by Matthew on May 8, 2008 10:59 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, it can be pretty pricey.

I just read a book that made me quite scared of a lot of the food out there, so I’m kinda trying to spend a little more on better stuff. I figure I can cut it out of somewhere else (like my ridiculous video game budget, perhaps?)

by Teej on May 8, 2008 11:05 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of Pike Market

so I get my produce and protein from there at 1/2 the cost of Whole Foods. And for grains and such, I see no benefit in going the “organic” route and just grab cheap stuffs at TJ’s.

Oh hell yeah.

If I could do Pike Place I’d be all over it. The food there looks amazing.
