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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

Per Rotoworld:
Richie Sexson was ejected from Thursday’s game for charging the mound versus the Rangers’ Kason Gabbard.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. He was the only player tossed as a result of the incident, though Gabbard was removed soon thereafter. Sexson, who threw his helmet at Gabbard, likely will face a four- or five-game suspension
He’d better get more than 5 games…

They’ve been my least favorite team for at least a decade, going back to when they were the Rangers’ main rival for the AL West in the mid-90s.
I also despise the Yankees and Angels, and don’t particularly care for the Red Sox, White Sox, and Dodgers. The A’s are OK by me- I like Beane, and I’ve never developed the animosity for them that I have for our other two division rivals.
