EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2004 It should be noted here that the fan that got hit with the chair was a female fan located behind the fans arguing with the Rangers' bullpen. As far as I could tell from the video, she was not actively harassing the players. And as bravesfan stated, Francisco was arrested, and indications are he will be charged with aggregated battery. I think the US Court System will do more with this case than MLB needs to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Staravenger Report post Posted September 15, 2004 Too many games tonight. I've been trying to watch the Red Sox/Devil Rays, Yankees/Royals, Astros/Cardinals, and Cubs/Pirates at the same time. Nothing of note really happening in any of them. TB leading 2-0 thanks to 2 Home runs off Pedro, Royals and Yankees both can't do dick tonight, Astros/Cardinals was 1-1 last I checked, and Pirates lead Cubs 2-0;.

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted September 15, 2004 The security WAS there, but there are 20 Ranger players trying to either restrain their teammates, or attempting to attack the fan, so I don't know if I'd put the blame on security. I would. Where was secruity when tempers were starting to flare. Secruity should've been between them and others should've been heading for the area when it was obvious things were getting out of control. Like I said I saw one maybe two secruity guards and the one was in the middle of the Rangers players meaning he was slow to get there as well. There should've been a wall of secruity guys between them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Staravenger Report post Posted September 15, 2004 I think Greinke got on the umpires bad side, by walking to the dug-out thinking he struck out Bernie Williams...and kept going until he finally saw Bernie pass him on his way to first (walked). The Royals pitching coach quickly ran onto the mound to prevent Greinke from getting a lecturing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Joe_G Report post Posted September 15, 2004 They got shut out Sunday against the Mariners too. That's 18 straight scoreless innings against two of the worst teams in baseball. They made that 12 year old pitching for Tampa Bay look like Cy Young. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2004 Losing 5-0 to Scott Kazmir is a step up from losing 17-8 to Brian Anderson. The Sox are still 4 games ahead in the wild card race. The Chicago/Minnesota game was looking like a pitchers' duel, but the Twins exploded for nine runs. My fantasy team is liking this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the max 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2004 I didn't get the Red Sox game tonight on MLB Extra Innings, but I'm sure it was just an off-night with the HUGE series against the Yanks coming up. They'll be fine. You don't say that a team with a 4 game lead on a playoff spot isn't going to make the fucking playoffs.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2004 I have a bad feeling that the Cardinals won't make it from the national league. They SHOULD, but with the lame way the playoffs operate anymore having the best team doesn't seem to mean a whole lot. Watch it be the Dodgers or something lame like that.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2004 Mark Prior pitches in just about an hour and a half from now. Bold prediction: ungodly quantity of walks given up in the 4 2/3 innings he pitches when he hits 100 for the day, with maybe about four runs, one unearned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2004 Well, through two, we've got four walks for Prior, allowing the Pirates to score 4 in the 2nd after we scored 4 in the 1st. And they weren't even homers like ours...just bad, bad pitching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
