VIDEO: Mariners/Rangers bench-clearing brawl
Bugs & Cranks —
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.” ...

Richie Sexson Takes Umbrage, Has Bad Eyesight
Walkoff Walk —
Watch as Richie Sexson charges the mound after Kason Gabbard throws 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.

Mariners Richie Sexson vs Rangers Kason Gabbard Bench Clearing Fight
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 away from him. That is a gutless, 6'7, .200 hitting formerly good player. What a joke."
"If it was 2 feet lower ... it'd have been a strike!" ...
Richie Sexson Needs a Mixed Tape
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 ...
Yardwork: FIGHT!
The Big Lead —
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 first 21 seconds.
Diamondbacks 8, Phillies 3: Brandon Webb was the story again. He moved to 8-0 thanks to a complete game six-hitter and failed to walk anyone. Chris Snyder and Chris Young each had two RBI. ...
What was Richie Sexson Thinking?
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.
RICHIE SEXSON IS A REAL TOUGH GUY
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop —
Here's Mariners first baseman Richie Sexson reacting to a high pitch down the middle of the plate in Seattle's 5-0 loss to the Rangers last night. I guess this was supposed to fire up his teammates to score some runs, but really the only 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 ...
Rangers’ Announcer Tom Grieve Doesn't Seem To Like Richie Sexson
AwfulAnnouncing —
Bugs and Cranks has video of the Rangers and Mariners playing the feud last night, and announcer Tom Grieve doesn't seem to respect Richie Sexson decision to charge the mound.... In fairness to Sexson, the Mariners' Felix Hernandez had hit two batters in the previous inning and he was charging on anything close. I've also never seen a helmet throw land like that. Fun times. Update: Here is the full thing, and as right as the Rangers announcers are about the situation....they do go a little overboard with the Sexson ...

REALESTS NCAA College Michigan Football Basketball Rich Rodriguez Lil Wayne DMX —
Lost in all the hubbub about Barry Zito being the worst free-agent signing ever is Seattle "slugger" Richie Sexson. Making a cool mil more that Zito ($15.5M to $14.5M), Sexson is another pickup that set back a franchise 10 years - he's barely batted over the Mendoza Line the last two years. Well it all came to a head last night after some high cheese from Kason Gabbard. Channeling his inner Manny Ramirez, Sexson not only charged the mound for zero reason, he also had the balls to chuck his helmet at a pitcher that's 5 inches shorter and 40 pounds lighter: Obviously the color guys ...
Richie Sexson is a Punk

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 behavior.

Discarded Peanut Shells - The Games We Play Date May 9, 2008 Nice Girls Finish Last Didn’t mean to scare anyone - I just needed some time off to refine my direction here and revamp the site to fit in the advertising that’s going to make me millions (of fractions of pennies) and keep me swathed in fancy photo equipment! Honestly, I had been kicking around the idea of quitting for several months, but I just can’t pull the trigger. So rather than continue to put out belated old-news drivel that at least for me, was nothing to feel proud of (photographs, otoh, I’m quite proud of!), I decided to come up with an editorial plan, so to speak. I’m still working on ...
Richie Sexson Proves He Still Can't Hit
Fenway West - A Boston Red Sox Blog —
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. ...
