I agree with you. This was total crap. You could see whose side the umps were on! I loved the way Porcello dumped that idiot! Cabrera had a right to be angry and he didn't charge out and make a fool of himself, And he was actually injured! Just goes to show who the better sportsmen are...

Waltz you are right on. Weaver didn't even throw a pitch and it did have something to do with the rosin bag. Also, Fick did go nuts he must of been doing coke that day. Thought i'd post some Bean ball humor from Rod's days in Japan.

Robert Fick actually went berserk during the Weaver/Sweeny incident and was the main reason it lasted as long as it did.

The strange thing about the Weaver incident is that Jeff didn't even throw a pitch during that at-bat. I'm pretty sure Sweeney came up, said something about the rosin bag on the mound, Weaver said something back, and then Sweeney charged the mound and threw his helmet and bodyslammed Weaver. Sweeney was in the middle of a roid rage I think.

Didn't Milton Bradley tear a ligament in his knee once arguing with an ump? All the arguing and fighting in baseball is pretty stupid - it never gets you anything good.

Dan Shaugnessy rocks a perm so no one cares what he writes except Donny and Bobby on Yawkey Way.

Personally I do think Rick hit Youkilis intentionally however if there was no warning I agree Porcello shouldn't be ejected. He simply defended himself with the hip toss, he didn't throw any punches. If there were no warnings as Mario wrote, then the charging of the mound was unprovoked. Also lost alot of respect for Youkilis. I thought he was an old school baller but the throwing of the helmet was real weak.

Mario, would Bud Selig have had a different suspension if Youkilis had broken Porcello's collarbone? Or tore up his knee when he had to toss Shrek. Why didn't Leyland bat Everett leadoff last night and charge Beckett on the first pitch?

Thinking back to the days of Sweeney/Weaver is a funny thing. Remember how Weaver got beaten up and all the other Tigers just sat there and let it happen. Those guys hated Jeff so much they didn't even have his back when he got charged. His only buddy, Fick, was prolly in the clubhouse smoking one. At least our young gun now has the respect of his teammates.
