he tarnished nothing. it's not different than a player slugging his glove in the dugout after he misses a ball or whathaveyou. the media is capitalizing on the fact that it was whatshisface...pizza boy...... and the past incident with them pay no mind..... |

i can't speak of him beaming pizza cause i didn't see it, i do think that he wasn't trying to hit pizza with that broken bat last night if he was he could have been more successful, he threw the bat at the ground in the direction that pizza was running to. i have played softball from time to time, never baseball, and thats really irrelavent. i don't deny the impact of having 94mph pitch coming straight for your head. you can't compare the hockey incident with the beaming of pizza in the hockey incident, the play was not so close to McSorley, the slash was clearly out of the blue. however when a pitch is pitching, to a tiny space designated as the strikezone and the human inches away, people are going to get hit, and it;s gonna hurt, whether the pitcher just sucks ass, having a bad night or is doing it intentionally, who the fuck knows, no one except him really. |
And Clemens has a rep on every team he's played for (NY, Toronto, Boston) for hitting batters. Interesting that he's always played for American League teams where they have the DH and the pitcher doesn't have to hit for himself, no? I don't deny that emotions are part of a game. It's just that if you pick up the shattered barrel of a bat off the field, especially when you see that the ball was hit foul, usually you'd toss it underhand off the field to the bat boy. Not heave it overhand. |
i know it's piazza, but the name begs to be mispronounced... he threw it overhand, it look more like a lateral toss, kinda like how one throws a boomerang |
Anybody see the Jets/Dolphins game last night? Damn, what a comeback. I'm a fucking walking zombie after the last month of staying up for late baseball games and last night's football game. |

now that Roger's one of us, i'm debating whether or not i can or should like him. i had no idea baseball was full of such moral dilemmas. |
