Like A Mofo Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I caught a little of the highlight on TV this morning, a relief pitcher for Texas threw a chair into the stands after an altercation broke up near the Texas Rangers bullpen, and the woman broke her nose....man this guy is gonna get suspended for a long time? How many games do you think he should get? Texas-Oakland
Ramius Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 yah i saw it, sickening...some of the rangers bullpen pitchers said the fans "took it too far" in their verbal assault of the rangers...ya know what, if i am makin multimillions to sit in a bullpen and pitch my 2 innings when we are down 10-1, i could easily be oblivious to some insults from fans...
USMCBillsFan Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I'm just glad it wasn't in the Yankee bullpen this time....
Like A Mofo Posted September 14, 2004 Author Posted September 14, 2004 I wonder what started it, thats what Im waiting to hear
SeanO Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I know.... I would not want a women or a lone grounds keeper to jump into the Yanknees bullpen & get assaulted again! They are real tough guys! LOL I'm just glad it wasn't in the Yankee bullpen this time.... 30507[/snapback]
gmac17 Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I've done a bit of bullpen razzing in my day, but was never afraid of a chair coming my way.... 3 years ago in Fenway a few of us were talking some trash to Ricky Bones of the Marlins. He was having a good time with it and finally when somebody yelled "Hey Bones, you haven't even pitched in a week, why do you even play baseball" he looked back with a smile and put up two fingers, then a fist, then one finger then scratched his fingers together (universal sign for money) and then pointed at himself...as in "I make $2.1 million..." it was actually pretty funny. Some of my friends were at Wrigley a few years back razzing griffey in the outfield. By the 6th inning or so he'd had enough and turned around between plays and yelled "I f*cked your wife" to one of my friends (who is pretty sure he didn't in fact f his wife....)
BB2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I saw it myself, I was dissapointed I didn't see it live. I don't know who started it but it was good that they broke it up in a hurry. Whoever threw that chair is going to be suspended for a lengthly period of time.
