NICE Brawl in the Rays vs Sox

[Matt]

its been a while since ive seen a good bench clearer in MLB.

and it seems that gomes is more productive as team body guard.

coco crisp is an idiot.

the boston red sox are nothing but a bunch of low life scumbags who have always liked to pick on the little devil rays.  it all started with pedro the punk, and it seems they think they can still walk all over the rays without repercussion.

that was a pretty good brawl. rays need to keep that fire for the rest of the season.

I know we've got a couple of Sox fans, or were Sox fans, on here so I just need to ask what was so bad in what Bartlett did the previous night? He blocked the bag like a catcher blocks home plate. Is there some type of unwritten rule you don't do that on the bases? His leg was down way before the loon got there ..... Actually seems more dangerous to the fielder.

And I don't know who #31 for the Rays is, third base coach, I think, but he went in wailing on CooCoo ...... I loved it.

Johnny Gomes is just itching to throw hands.  First Shelly Duncan and now Coco Crisp.  Got to love the fire.

31 is Gomes.

31 is Gomes.

Radio guys mentioned they thought the third base coach got some licks in so when I watched it, I thought that was who they were talking about. Gomes got some good shots in ..... and will probably get suspended.

coco crisp is a piece of trash.  next time we play, I hope kazmir throws a 95 mph fastball at his face

Coco is a punk plain and simple.  Bartlett "blocking the bag" was not a dirty play at all.  If he wants to slide into 2nd head first, then he has to accept the possibility of injury.  He then goes superman the next time going into 2nd and could have easily blown Aki's knee out, which would have been much worse than Coco hurting his precious little finger. 

Then Shields hits him in the thigh, which is what you are supposed to do, and he gets pissed and charges the mound and almost took the haymaker of haymakers from Shields.  If he would have landed that punch (hopefully w/out hurting himself in the process), Robin Ventura could have thanked Coco Crisp for removing his name from the top of the all time worst decisions to charge the mound list.
