Video: Duncan “Retalliates”; Zim Grabs Junk
Published 3/13/2008 by David Chalk at Bugs & Cranks
Video of Shelley “Duvall” Duncan’s girlie cheap shot on Aki. The highlight is that ESPN ends the clip with video of Don Zimmer grabbing his crotch, (from Red Lasso via DRaysBay….) The play looks much worse in the still photos (DRB also has lots of good pics plus a file photo of Gomes wrasslin’ the Nasty Boys), but it’s funny that Duncan gave our Devil Rays their second chance in 5 days to show we’re the tougher team. Nice tackle, Jonny Gomes.

Rays Still Attempting a Rivalry
Published 3/13/2008 by Sooze at Babes Love Baseball
I just really love that picture. It's not officially Spring until benches clear and punches are thrown. During the second inning of a spring training game between the feisty Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees Wednesday, a melee lead to the ejections of two players and two coaches. Just two days after Joe Girardi whined about the Rays' aggressive play this spring, Shelley Duncan decided to spike his way into second base by way of Akinori Iwamura's thigh. Duncan was asked to leave, Jonny Gomes flipped out and ran all the way from right field with the intention of depantsing Duncan, and two ...

TOP 12 UNWRITTEN RULES OF BASEBALL
Published 3/13/2008 by DMtShooter at Epic Carnival - Pop Culture, Sports, Celebrities, Babes, Rumors, Innuendo
by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool Inspired by this little bit of spring training fundamentals... 12. Veterans who have been on a bunch of different teams can never be, you know, irredeemable douchebags 11. In a bench-clearing brawl, players with the same agents have to pair up to watch each other's back 10. The first rule of Devil Rays Fight Club... is that you do not discuss Devil Rays Fight Club 9. Bunting for a base hit when you are trying to break up a no-hitter or perfect game is worse than loving Hitler or voting for a Democrat 8. If the other team hits ...

Post #900 is an Unwritten Rule of Epic Droposity
Published 3/13/2008 by DMtShooter at Five Tool Tool - The Sports Blog That Loves You Back
Your list of the top 12 unwritten rules of baseball is here, and if MLB ever wants to start making up ground on the NFL, they are just going to have to do more of this, really. A century ago, brawls were much more common, along with all kinds of cheap shots from infielders, vile chatter and racial slanders from the infielders and managers, crazed doctoring of baseballs, and more... ...

Idle musings of an idle mind on Shelley
Published 3/13/2008 by Ben K. at River Avenue Blues
So after watching this clip, I’m struck by something Shelley Duncan did. To me, it appears as though he was gunning for second base out of the box with the intent to slide in hard. My question then to the rhetorical you then is this: Was Shelley aiming to start something from the crack of the bat? And does it matter? MLB’s discipline guru Bob Watson might think it does.

Cabrera Suspended? WTF?
Melky Cabrera has been suspended for 3 games as a result of the Yankees-Rays "brawl" a few days ago. All of the reports I had read stated that no punches were thrown. Apparently no punches were thrown, except for the one by Melky Cabrera which landed on Evan Longoria, Eva Longoria's kid brother. I've not seen any video anywhere of the "brawl" so I don't know if it's true. If it is however, ...
