Bonds getting plunked last night. Yeah...i know, i know but....

3peet · May 17, 2006

that shit was just straight cowardly. Irregardless of how much Bonds was covering the plate. Sure throw chin music to back him off. But going right for his head?

Fuck that. Like I've said in Baseball thread, I'm not a Giants nor Bonds fan but from a baseball persepctive, I dunno why the Giants weren't going head hunting with a 14 run lead.

Fuck that Morris better let one fly face side sometime tomorrow night.
As much as Bonds is hated I give him much props for showing unbelievable restraint for not charging. 5 straight pitches tryin to bean him.

phil garner is a punk ass bitch
as is russ springer who took off like a baby after the game not talking to the media. astros' fans who gave that scumbag a standing ovation
are losers. makes me glad the astros got raped in the world series last year by the white sox.

If Bonds is such a man, tell him to bat without the hard plastic elbow-guard.

Plain and simple you should not get first base for getting hit in the ****** elbow guard. When I play baseballI drill anyone in the back who wears one.
And yes, I generally am also in the lineup and not afraid of retaliation.

why should he?
he had elbow surgery. he'd be stupid to not wear one.

If I was a pitcher I'd hit him just about every time and same with all the other fellas that stand right on the plate all kinds of body armor on

Pretty safe to say that there will be some phone calls from the MLB offices today(if not a fine\suspension).

....but it was Barry

springer is getting more airtime on espn today than the rest of his career combined.
bonds hrs of him a few years ago.
springer hits him next time he faces him
and then again last night.
get over it jerry springer. bonds punked your pathetic ass. what are you going to do, hit him again because he hit a HR off you. the astro that gets beaned today should kick springer's ass.

see what a great guy barry is...
from sf chronicle...

After Bonds was hit, the only remaining question was whether Wright would retaliate. The last time he did that, hitting San Diego's Brian Giles after Jake Peavy hit Bonds on May 1, Wright gave up seven runs in the inning. Fortunately for Wright, he got clear direction from Bonds after the left fielder came around the score on an error.

"As I was walking up to the plate he came up to me and told me to stay focused and don't change my game plan. Go out there and pitch to win," said Wright, who did just that. He allowed three runs over seven innings to beat the Astros for the first time after starting his career 0-12 against them.

Bonds didn't charge the mound because he couldn't run that far.

Double negative.

Bonds leans so far over the plate he can get hit with a strike - I've seen this. Why should he get rewarded when this happens? Why not bring in an off-day pitcher to plunk Barry? Like I've said before, it's obvious his fellow players don't back up Barry, that's probably why Barry doesn't charge the mound. How funny would that be if he charged the mound and his teammates all stayed on the bench?:toast:

Am I a bad person for hoping Barry gets injured or plunked in the head? Am I a bad person for enjoying the fact he got plunked yesterday? Am I a bad person for hoping he gets hit again?
