It's times like this when I'm ashamed to be a baseball fan. This really pisses me off. I like the Rangers, they are a good young team, but this isn't what they need.

Oakland will be paying for it too, they will be blamed for not having security break up the incident.

What I'm a shamed of is Fransico was part of my White Sox farm system. I guess Kenny Williams was right for once in trading this ass. I just hope Uncle Jerry doesn't acquire him in the off-season for his arm.

This just pisses me off that Fransisco broke the poor woman's nose. I hope Selig fries his ass and bans him from baseball. If Pete Rose got banned for betting, then Fransisco should be banned and flogged for this.

I do find one thing funny, the throw sucked. If your a pitcher you should be able to throw. Frank needs to go to Texas Tech, then he can learn something about chair trowing from the master.

He got arrested and brought up on assault charges. He'll likely settle with the woman he hit to avoid a criminal case, but I hope MLB suspends him for at least the rest of the season. There was no need for what he did.

MLB will come down hard on him, but the pussie assed Players Association will fight it. THat Union has been killing baseball for the last 30 years and almost completely did it in 1994 and would have succeeded in killing it if they decided to strike in 2002

Of course, it didn't help that there was a massive group of them in that area at the time....

On a mildly related note, I hope to god the Red Sox don't have to play the Twins in the playoffs. Johan Santana is annihilating people since the All-Star break. I feel bad for the team that has to play him twice in the playoffs.

I'm a White Sox fan so I know the Twinkies pitching staff well.

Johan Santana is the only pitcher to worry about. Radke, Silva, and the rest all suck balls. Santana is good, but he can't win the 3 or 4 games needed of a 5 or 7 game series. Besides, the Yankees will beat them 1st.

On a good note, Santana is a UFA this year along with Radke so the Twinkies will fall hard,

**** THE TWINS!

Baseball is as boring as watching paint fuck. More incidents like this might make it interesting. Can we get pro wrestlers to try out for the majors?

Fransisco's actions were a disgrace to him, his team and MLB as a whole. He ought to be barred from baseball. He won't be, but he should be. On the other hand, it's nice to find another Red Sox fan here. I'm in a school filled with Yankees fans and it's slowly driving me mad.

Happy New Year everybody!
