I posted this in another thread but today I got home from work, ate a light meal and put on the Cubs/Marlin game then sat back in my recliner and promptly fell asleep. (I had a most unusual day and also gave blood today, so I was drained!) I woke up at the top of the 11th and wowza...what a game!! I saw the best part! LOL!!

I don't know if can take any more of these heart-stopping games. These two teams are so equally talented, devoted, focused, combatant, defensively and offensively...such great baseball, even the pitcher's duels are exciting. I keep forgetting which side I'm rooting for...I love Alou and Sosa, and Lofton....ooops, I mean Connine and Willis, and Punch.
(anyway) GO MARLINS

Can someone explain to me when it became acceptable in baseball to knock down 72 year-old men and then NOT GET THROWN OUT?

As I've said before, I don't love baseball, but that action just seems contemptable to me. But I might be all alone here.

No, you aren't alone. I was furious!! The pitcher should have been thrown out of the game, but I think they left him in to prevent Boston from rioting if they took him out. He was even laughing about it in the dugout. I hope Boston loses because of this, and the people from Boston who condone this type of behavior are nothing in my book. I have a cousin who lives there, but I am right now ashamed of Boston and their team. This is not what baseball is supposed to be about. I won't watch it anymore because of today's action from Boston and their uncaring and despicable pitcher.

I'm such a Cub fan, that I cant even relax when they are ahead 7-0 in the bottom of the 5th inning, I still feel as if I'm biting nails, any minute the other shoe will drop...

and Zeno, I'm so with you, and its sad, one player one rotten apple is going to spoil the whole red team!

After Pedro Martinez' "performance" today, I now want a <ack, gag, wretch> Yankees/Cubbies WS...with a CUBS win! (This being said by a lifelong Red Sox fan.) As sickened as I was by Zimmer's and Martinez' actions, I was even more outraged by the umpires' lack of action. I hate to think of all the children attending or watching that ugly game today. They saw appalling behavior with no consequences to follow.

OK,I have to disagree here,it was clear to me the old man was throwing a punch at Pedro. I don't even know why he was running towards Pedro,he isn't a pitcher! I think it was handled correctly.

Hippy, I don't know if you saw Pedro earlier in the game gesturing to someone on the Yankees team, as if threatening to hit them in the head. I couldn't hear what was being said by those 2, but it was an ugly display. I felt in the later altercation that both Zimmer and Pedro were in the wrong. Pedro didn't belong on the field at that point, either, IMHO. The umpires, and not the opposing pitchers, are paid to deal with any questionable pitches. When Zimmer charged him, he certainly deserved to defend himself. I just felt he let his anger get out of hand and reacted badly.

Well,Mak,you're right about that,and I think both of them acted badly.
