Richie Sexson
What a damned joke. Should get 20 games for that bush league crap. He basically charged the mound for a ball that he would have been out on if it had hit him.

Sad thing is
even if he’s suspended for a number of games, he won’t be missed much.

Wow. That wasn't even close to Sexson.
You’ve got to think he’ll get a significant suspension on that.

That's more than just a normal brawl too
He didn’t get hit by a pitch and it wasn’t even close. Add onto that the size difference, the helmet throw, and Gabbard possibly re-injuring himself and the league better crack down on his ass.

You know, the funny thing about that is that they'd be doing the Mariners a favor.
Sexson sucks.

don't care about the Mariners
they suck either way. A huge suspension takes money away from Sexson. Its like a dumbass tax

I hear
there is a first baseman available if they need one for a few weeks. I think they are familiar with him. Maybe they would give up a minor league utility guy to get him.

What's the point?
Selig will hand out some half-ass suspension, the MLBPA will successfully appeal for it to be reduced, and he’ll end up with five games off.
This is because suspensions in Major League Baseball are a joke.

ive got to go check out this bradley/laird thing and various other facets.
Gerald Laird is my hero.

laird/bradley
Bradley was basically pushing laird back across the diamond. He was really pushing into him and looked a little annoyed. The only thing I’d say is that Bradley was trying to make sure that the catcher didn’t get tossed for someone else being a set of f’n clown shoes.

go to the gameday thing
through www.texasrangers.com
click on the video tab at the top right where it has the boxscore
that should work for you
you can’t see the whole thing, but you can see the pitch and then him charge the mound

Eric and Victor where pretty livid
But they where a little more subdued than what I heard TAG and Josh where. I think they where more stunned than anything.
They got their licks in on Sexson and the Mariners, but nothing like what TAG is being quoted on.

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.

Then they are stupid homers
Sexson charged the mound on a ball 2 or so feet away from him. Tossed the helmet about 3/4 of the way to the mound and then attacked someone who was trying to protect themselves.

Holy hell that was the most unobjectionable pitch to charge the mound I could ever imagine!!!!!!!! How can that action be defended? I wish Frankie Frank had dished out some more vigilante justice with his chair!

Watching Extra Innings and got the Seattle announce crew
Could they be any dumber? They’re defending it, they’re proud of the fact, they overreacted on “how close the pitch was to his head”, they practically fucking gloated when Gabbard had to leave the game…
It’s god damn sickening.

They didn't come out and say it
But the tone of their voice definitely said “Well if he didn’t want to leave the game he shouldn’t have thrown at Sexson’s head” (why they are STILL going on and on about that when it was 2 feet away I will never know).
I don’t know if I’ve ever heard announcers as homer-retarded as these.

Sexson
You guys are going a bit overboard with the suspension predictions.]
He’ll get like 1-3 games. The league is dumb, we’re the Rangers, and it’s Kason Gabbard.
If it was Josh Beckett out there and it was in Boston, whoooooo boy.

No what should cost him is simple
He charged the mound at a point in time that there was ZERO reason to charge the mound. The ball wasn’t near him. His team had hit 2 batters already in the game. I think he needs a suspension because theres no reason at all for him to charge the mound.

OK
Throwing the helmet was way beyond the bounds of fair play. Charging the mound, even if the pitch wasn’t close is no big deal, 1-3 games. But throwing the helmet at such close range is going to be punished.
