Richie Sexson’s decision to charge the mound on this “purpose” pitch from Kason Gabbard pretty much highlights his knowledge of the strike zone. Rangers’ announcer Tom Grieve might have dropped the quote of the year: “That is a gutless, 6-foot-7, .200-hitting, formerly good player.” [link]

... a pitch at his head, sparking a riotous brawl between the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers: Oh shit no, that pitch was nowheres near his head. And yet Sexson charged the mound, threw his helmet, and tackled Gabbard, probably sending the dainty pitcher back to the disabled list. Maybe all this renewed energy by the Mariners will fill the seats. Or...maybe not. (via Bugs & Cranks)

RICHIE SEXSON IS A REAL TOUGH GUY

... way he helped the team was by getting thrown out of the game and not making another plate appearance.  There's not really a point to firing up your teammates when they all suck anyway.  And even if they didn't suck they'd probably sit on the bench because the manager sucks or get traded away because the general manager sucks.  They're just the suckiest bunch of sucks to ever suck.  Oh yeah, and I cheer for them.  Fucking hooray.  Go team.

I'm of the opinion that baseball fights are awesome. Two things: the announcers AND Eduardo Perez said that the pitch that set this off would have been a strike if it was 2 feet lower. Is that all? And Bugs and Cranks points out that this is a pretty good example of Richie Sexson's knowledge of the strike zone. Instead of directly linking to Ryan Zimmerman's blog, I'm going to send you to an edition of ...

Seriously, Richie? Am I Missing Something??
OK, had to get something up on this.
