Too bad A-Rod didn't play when Gibson and Drysdale were pitching.

[MikeG]

They would have thrown at him again and again and again and again..

And there wouldn't have been any mouthing off. Or brawls.

Those were the days.

[faithnotgreed]

1. sounds good to me! now if he had been pegged like clemens did

piazza, then i wouldnt care that alex responded as he did

but in the words of bill maher - fake outrage

[indigobusiness]

2. A-Rod should've pranced right out to the mound

and slapped him.

[MikeG]

3. Remember what Nolan Ryan did when someone charged him?

[bo44]

5. He put Robin Ventura in a side headlock and gave him the business

An ass whupping that is.

[indigobusiness]

7. He manhandled Ventura. But he would've laughed at a prancing,

nancing, A-rod,

There's no nancing in baseball.

[MikeG]

9. There would have been no brawl if A-Rod would have STFU.

Lefty Grove would have planted him next time he saw him.

[indigobusiness]

10. A-Rod is a big pussy...

prissy

[faithnotgreed]

13. yeah.. i liked how after 8 yrs, alex decided he was a "tough guy" today

then he acts all riled up and baits varitek



for me, 2nd only to jk v. bfee is the sox v. nyee

[kodi]

4. oh, the era where johnny roseboro loved tapped juan marichal with a bat?

or when Jack Hamilton nearly killed Tony Conigliario with a ball?

yeah, those were the days.

[bo44]

6. The dandy whacked Roseboro for flicking his hear with a return throw to

the picture.

[MikeG]

11. Was the Tony C. hit intentional?

A-Rod was hit on the elbow.

Most old style HBP's weren't beanballs.

I thought the Tony C. hit was an accident.

[MikeG]

8. No one charged Gibson or Drysdale. It would have been their last act.

[PVnRT]

14. Damn straight

I say let the players police themselves.

[Catholic Sensation]

12. he was mouthing off to the catcher

not the pitcher

[Maestro]

15. Here is my interpretation of the events

[Missy Vixen]

16. Oh, Pay-Rod?

How I would love to call that poseur a name that's no longer permissible on DU. Have I mentioned today how I still think Pay-Rod is a boil on the ass of America's favorite pastime? Have I also mentioned that I will continue to boo him until he finally takes his money, his crying towel, and his sorry ass back home?

I'm not bitter or anything.

The best part of the brawl was whatever Red Sox player grabbed him by the cup. It was a beautiful thing.

Julie
still hates Pay-Rod, always will, amazed his ego can fit into the NYY locker room

[MikeG]

17. A-Rod: Overpaid and whines about getting hit by a pitch.

Combining both reasons why baseball is no longer as popular.

Aren't we all excited that the Yankees might win the Series for the millionth time because they spend the most money?

Wow, how skillful of them.

And seeing mouthy, spoiled ballplayers not taking their base after being hit.

You see, a real pro would have walked to first, and the next inning a Red Sox batter would have been plunked. And that would be it.

[indigobusiness]

18. Yeah, it hit him on his Kevlar elbow guard. That must've really hurt...

What a clown...Payrod is right.
