Richie Sexson Needs a Mixed Tape
Published 5/9/2008 by Russianator (noreply@blogger.com) at Three Idiots on Sports
... The Mariners and Rangers got into pretty good last, culminating in a fourth inning, bench clearing brawl that started when Richie Sexson charged the mound after Texas pitcher Kason Gabbard threw him a pitch that was eye high (Sexson is 6'8"). The problem was that the pitch wasn't even close to being inside. With that mastery of the strike zone, it's no surprise why Sexson is hitting .209 this year. Maybe Richie just needs some love, or a nice ...

Posted 5/9/2008 on wrigleyville23

From the Rangers broadcasters (paraphrasing): "If they want to hit someone, they would hit a good hitter - not Sexson, who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat." "Gutless 6-foot-7, .200 hitting formerly good player." "If you want to fight, fight. But throw a helmet at a guy?" Video via Awful Announcing .

Richie Sexson is a Punk

Posted 5/9/2008 on Mac Gs World

Mariners 1B Richie Sexson charges the mound after freaking out by a high fastball that was nowhere near his head. Rangers color man Tom grieve deftly describes Sexson's cowardly act. "That is a gutless six foot seven, 200 hitting, formerly good player, what a joke" Sexson better be careful or the number one Rangers fan in America, President GW Bush will sick the NSA on him for this punk ...

Rangers 5, Mariners 0: Richie Sexson was hit by a pitch (read: the ball didn’t hit him and wasn’t even close to doing so) on a day when his team failed to score a run, so he felt compelled to brawl. Safe to say he was frustrated, perhaps because he’s not earning his pay. You can view the video right here . Rangers announcer Tom Grieve drops the quote of the night in the ...

Sexson Should Be Suspended

Posted 5/9/2008 on Real Sports Bloggers

Well, last night’s game was interesting, wasn’t it. Seriously, Richie Sexson needs to be suspended. That pitch that Kason Gabbard threw at him last night wasn’t even close to hitting his mellon. And he went off. And using your batting helmet in a fight is kind of dirty. All in all, I’m disappointed that Gerald Laird didn’t try [...]

Richie Sexson is a bad man

Posted 5/9/2008 on EBSports Blog

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzGywBeWT6Q Last night, during the Rangers/Mariners game that about 4 people were watching, Mariners 1st basemen Richie Sexson took objection to a pitch that was high, but about 83 feet from him. I mean honestly, the pitch was closer to my chin than yours, Richie. Anyway, being the little girl he is, he charged the mound in [...]

Richie Sexson Proves He Still Can't Hit

Posted 5/9/2008 on Fenway West

I know its not the Sox but Richie Sexson killed my fantasy team last year with his awful hitting and in yesterday's game he proved that he can't hit in a fight either. (he does get a good throw in with the helmet) By the location of the pitch he is obviously not seeing the ball very well. Fenway West- The Western Home to Red Sox Nation

What was Richie Sexson Thinking?

Posted 5/9/2008 on My Pinstripes

Richie Sexson instigated a bench clearing brawl after he was hit by a pitch, he was brushed back a pitch didn't come close to him. Kudos to The Big Lead for the find. Pitcher Kason Gabbard , who had just been reactivated, looked like a deer caught in 6'8" headlights.

Mariners Richie Sexson vs Rangers Kason Gabbard Bench Clearing Fight

Posted 5/9/2008 on FanIQ Blog

We had't had a good bench clearing, batter storming the mound fight this year. Thanks to Richie Sexson's lunacy that's been corrected. Like these Rangers announcers, you'll have some trouble figuring out why Sexson charges the mound. The pitch doesn't hit him. You'll hear that broadcaster Tom Grieve isn't a big fan: "That pitch wasn't even close. That pitch is a foot ...

Richie Sexson is not a zombie?!?!

Posted 5/9/2008 on Wax Heaven

When I was 15 years old I thought Richie Sexson was bound for glory. My theory was a bit skewed but somewhat logical. You see, Jose Canseco was 6′4 and hit 44 home runs once, Mark McGwire was just an inch taller and hit 52 in 1996 so what do I make of Sexson, who stood 6 feet 8 inches? 100 home runs, maybe more? Of course, it didn’t quite work out that way and for the most part ...

Hit me once, hit me twice

Posted 5/9/2008 on Go Rangers!

By now, if you’re a Rangers fan, you’ve seen and heard about the big fight tonight, which was mostly just a bunch of handbag swinging. The clear exception was Richie Sexson, who I would expect to get at least a 10 day suspension. You want to throw punches, that’s one thing, but throwing a helmet can cause serious injury. The guys on the Rangers broadcast said he’s ...

Today In Very Obvious News: Richie Sexson is a Tool

Posted 5/9/2008 on Five Tool Tool - The Sports Blog That Loves You Back

Tonight in Seattle, Richie Sexson charged the mound to attack Rangers pitcher Kason Gabbard on a ball that was over the middle of the plate and two feet away from being a called strike. He was anticipating contact following a couple of plunked hitters, including some obvious headhunting by King Felix Hernandez on Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler. Normally, I could care about baseball ...
