Seriously, Richie? Am I Missing Something??

"I believe it's rule 43, section II, sub-section B that states 'overpaid, whiny bitches shall not charge the mound on balls that are more than six inches from the inside portion of the plate.' It goes on to further stipulate that 'one will be subject to unrelenting ridicule on the InterWebs should said batter also throw his helmet at the opposing pitcher at any time during his charge to the mound.'"

Talk about misdirected anger. That pitch wasn't even marginally irresponsible. It was simply a ball (high).

completely agree. high and, if anything, outside

I have to say, as an M's fan, I was surprised and delighted to see how quickly Sexson got to the mound. I always figured that if Richie ever charged the mound, by the time he got there, he'd forget why he was so angry and nothing would ensue.

Sexson is as stupid as he is tall. Didn't know they piled s@#t that high.

Yea... I seen it that pitch wasn't close...there pitcher hit 2 guys both in the elbo... He throw's one ball that is a little high.. and tall lanky sexon runs out... What a coward.

The Rangers commentators were hillarious.
"I guess when you're hitting .209 and you can't drive in any runs you're going to try to take it out on the pitcher."
"If he's going to hit anyone it's going to be a good hitter, not Richie Sexson! ... You got a guy that's coming up that can't hit water if he fell out of a boat and you think he's trying to hit him?"
"Boy that is a gutless, 6 foot 7, formerly good player. What a joke!"

Someone call PAPA JOHNS and get Sexson a T-shirt!!

Thumbs up webkid!!Good point why hit a scrub like sexon

I almost fell out of my chair when i heard them say he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

did anyone see Sexson's interview after the game? As much as I didn't agree with what he did, he kind of made up for it with a cool interview.

I cant find the vid but here's the transcript:
http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/mariners/2008/05/09/transcript_of_richie_sexson_s_interview

How did he make up for it in the interview? Makes him look/sound even more ridiculous. From your comment, i assumed maybe he apologized for being a jackass and that he said something funny or self-depracating. this makes me have even less respect for the guy. maybe something is lost in just reading transcript vs/ seeing video.

What happened to the vid why can't it be shown anymore?

The MLB sucks this is what happened to it

it is supposed to say that MLB advanced Media took it down for copyright issues

Thats the first time Sexson has hit anything that hard all year!

J Carson golf swing anyone?

hiyoooo

It was stupid, but I understand why he was upset. He said it himself, he's 6'8. You HAVE to be trying if the ball is going up that high. But he needed something for his highlight reel, right? Been kind of empty as of late...

WOW what an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
