    bubbling on, what's the net going to be for baseball? People wont' care about Barry Bonds? The names on that document are going to leak out that's for sure, it's going to cast a pall over the season. It's also bound to spill over on to other sports as well.

    Do we just give up and say ok juice away if that's what you want to do???

    Sure. And then we can name Vince McMahon as the commissioner of baseball.

    Better yet, we can allow players to wear masks and have "managers" who can come right out on the field with them. Maybe when a runner is coming home the catcher can hit him with a folding chair.

    Wrong Chicago ballpark, Terry. Those assaults took place in the White Sox park. I can never remember the name. I always want to call it by its old name, Comiskey Park.

    It wasn't Wrigley that a Dodger 3rd baseman got attacked when he leaned into the stands for foul ball? I seem to remember a melee between Cubs fans and Dodgers followed.

    Catcher Chad Kreuter was sitting in the bullpen when a fan slapped him in the head and took his cap, leading to the melee. Kreuter just took over as head coach at USC, btw.

    Also, when Randy Myers was a relief pitcher for the Cubs, a fan ran out of the stands and attacked him. The problem for the fan was that Myers had training in martial arts and beat the snot out of the fan.

    Full contact baseball! George you're a genius!

    Barry "U.S." Bonds

    Roger "The Wreckless Cowboy" Clemens

    Alex "The Angry Rebel" Rodriguez

    The possibilities are endless! :lol:

    Also, wasn't there a repeat incident at telephone company field just one season after the meth-head crackers jumped the Royals' coach?

    BDR makes a point here. Fan violence is OUT OF CONTROL. Likewise, I make a point about naming Mr. McMahon Chairman of MLB.

    Consider for example, Manny Ramirez. Let's repackage him as:

    Mannykind

    [​IMG]

    And look, he flashing Mr. Red Socko

    What fan would attack him?

    I couldn't remember Spiers name, Thanks!

    Do you have a picture of that buxom blonde who used to show up and go after players. She went after Nolan Ryan one time in the Astrodome. She had huge bazooms, and was really sort of weird looking. Not exactly like a SI Swimsuit model comming after you!! :)

    The car Mannykind would roll up to the arena in...

    And you need to represent the fans among the wrestlers as well. For example, here's Child of the Corn...

    That was Morganna the Kissing Bandit, Terry. She's more in proportion now...

    The Big Crapple could do a better job of naming the heels they send into the ring...

    Yeah, that pretty much describes the general malaise of Yankees fans today during the second loss in a row to an Oakland A's club that was under .500 going into the series.

    Seems the only time they made any noise was when they were booing A-Rod. What's with these fooks? Don't they realize he was the AL MVP last year? :shock:
