I knew Crisp was a jerk, but get real. He was mad because Bartlett tried to block the base when crisp was stealing. Well duh thats the way they teach it.

Huh? How about the 3 Rays players that attacked him while he was lying on the ground, is that "jerk-y" as well?Quote:

I think his throwing the elbow was a little much on the next slide, but Iwamura was a pro about it and just moved on. If not for Shields grazing him, this would have blown over. Sigh. Why, Shields? You could've thrown an impressive game. Instead, 7-1 blowout. Any chance it was a mistake?
Man, the Rays were really doing well, making a run, impressing the critics. Now suddenly they're the team they were 3 years ago, getting into silly fights and being swept by the Sox with little effort. Too bad.
Thats what he gets for charging the mound. It wasn't like they threw at his head, the pitch grazed his thigh, get over yourself(Crisp).Quote:

James Shields admitted after the game that he was attempting to hit Crisp...whether it was aimed at the head in particular, I don't know, but the pitch WAS aimed for Crisp.Quote:

The 3 guys pummeling him when he was covered already was just ridiculous.
Coco new he was going to get hit this game, and it was premeditated that he would charge the mound. It was dumb of him to charge and not really called for, but as stated he made up his mind to do so prior.
After he charged, I dont' cared if the whole team was atop him...when you charge the mound you can't cry afterwards you were ganged up on.
Man....in years past the sox looked like they could fight...the 1000 pound gorilla nobody wants to talk about is, they got they're a$$ kicked!!! Coco was out there for what seemed like forever before someone tried to help him lol.
ExactlyQuote:

Has he been "crying", though? I haven't heard it, but then I'm on the wrong coast...
I have heard/seen a couple of comments about Crawford, though.
Apparently due to the fight, Rocco Baldelli is now on the DL indefinitely
So, suspensions were handed out, big time.
James Shields - 6 games
Coco Crisp - 7 games
Jon Lester - 5 games
Sean Casey - 3 games
Jonny Gomes - 5 games
Edwin Jackson - 5 games
Carl Crawford - 4 games
Akinori Iwamura - 3 games
Good!
Gomes is a real jackass. Lol, yeah, Coco said that Crawford scratched him and pulled his hair like a little girl. Crawford admitted that he did just that too. lmao.
Except that they'll be spaced out to minimize the impact on the teams. They should all start immediately, and on the same day, with no appeal. That'd make it a little more unlikely to continue.Quote:

the suspensions should be for when they play against each other. that would also eliminate any further action.
crisp was wrong big time. i am a red sox fan and still disagree with him. I play shortstop and when i play if i am going into the bag i want the fielder to know he better get out of my way. when i am the fielder then i want the runner to know get out of my way by throwing the ball sidearm and low at the runner. i never have fights because i never cross the line. all slides are hard but not with intent to hurt. while all throws are low but never at someones head. this is how you play. no fighting and accept it when it comes to you. if someone takes me out at 2nd i get up and congradulate the runner for a good play. i love that.
I think that Crisp did something dirty last year on the basepaths as well. Can't recall exactly what, or to whom, but I do remember being turned off to him after that.
