Didn't look too bad to me. It looks like he was too drunk and a stupid, but not malicious.

nobody said only boston fans do dumb things. don't be an idiot.

How come sport guys don't get charged and arrested for battery? IMO a lot a guys setting bad examples, more so in basketball, which has even lost them fans and revenue.

Fines? don't hurt when you're making 50 mil a year.

It's different when a guy is hit first, has nothing to do with the fact they are playing ball. If a guy hit you in the face would you just walk away? The Pistons thing was different, the idiot fan threw beer, not a blow to the face, the first punch was thrown by the player.

You know, these threads don't say much for Yankees fans and their attitudes man. I was just pointing out that nobody from Boston complained about that on opening night.

And nobody else in this thread went on to say that other teams have stupid fans too, so that's pretty much saying through implications that only Boston fans are idiots.

Regardless, I think it was stupid of the fan and is stupid of any fan to get involved in a game. The last thing baseball needs is a huge player/fan brawl. Apparently there were a number of fights at the Giants @ Dodgers series.

bwahaha I can't believe you said this.

Way to make yourself sound like a bitter 8 year old grasping at straws to make a point that wasn't even there in the first place.

I'd give you a cookie but it's after 8 p.m.

Remind tomorrow tiger!

It's really not too complicated. An idiot Yankee fan tried to grab a ball in play. Yes, he's an idiot but that happens every night in every stadium in baseball pretty much. Players don't get hit by fans in the face every night. Large, fundamental difference.

And nobody else in this thread went on to say that other teams have stupid fans too, so that's pretty much saying through implications that only Boston fans are idiots.

There are idiot Yankee fans and there are idiot Sox fans. And yes, there are idiot Pirates fans too.:roll: By no means do I think all Sox fans are idiots because of a few rotten apples. That would just be ridiculous.

Regardless, I think it was stupid of the fan and is stupid of any fan to get involved in a game. The last thing baseball needs is a huge player/fan brawl. Apparently there were a number of fights at the Giants @ Dodgers series.

Agreed.

maybe no one here saw it or thought it was worth commenting on. this isn't about yankees fans or red sox fans. like you say, it is stupid of any fan to do that stuff. your conclusion based on "implications" is silly.

Maybe it's because I just woke up, I don't know. Where the fvck is the :beer: at?

 

No one knows the guys intentions.
I'm sure the sports news will catch up with it tomorrow.

Until then, ya'll keep on flaming each other.

 

[ThePresence]

Sox win. Oh well. Season series is even.

 

[preslove]

Game over! The good guys won! Bases left loaded 🙂

 

[Yossarian]

after seeing the replay a few times on ESPN, Sheffield should definitely be suspended.

 

[geno]

Just goes to show that fans need to be isolated from the game, make the walls taller, whatever.... just do something to keep fans from getting in the way because it takes away from the sport in the end. It also gives punks like Sheffield a reason to fly off the handle, it's a lose-lose situation

Woah woah, calm down little man. I said I'd get you a cookie tomorrow, you should be in bed, not trying to steal your fathers beer.

Why are you taking cheap shots at Sheffield when ALL the blame lies on the idiot Boston fan?

Sheffield showed a lot of restraint by not hitting that moron back. If it was most other people, there would have been an even bigger incident.

Sheffield was known as a problem player, a bad personality in his early years. He has really worked hard cleaning up his act and is now one of the leaders in the Yankee clubhouse.

Before you say this crap, at least know what you're talking about.

it looks like the fan unintentionally touched Sheffield while trying for the ball. yes it was very stupid but it did not deserve that reaction from Sheffield. in any case, any time in the past where players have gone after fans not on the field, even when they don't "start it", the players get suspended. imo that is as it should be.

 

[preslove]

I don't think it was a big deal. Sheffield's reaction was automatic, and he didn't take a second swing; so he's cool. The boston fan is a moron, but didn't look out to hit Shef. That won't stop the fanboi's though.

It's always so hard for me to say whether or not players should get suspended for x amount of time because I know in the same situation, I'd prolly go apeshit on a person who interferred with me doing my job (assuming my job was to play pro sports).

I never thought that Artest deserved a death penalty and if anything Sheffield should only get a 2-3 game suspension. Anything more and I'll keep working on my plans for Bud Selig and David Stern to be in an airplane crash together.

And just who the fvck are you?

I'm not discussing if the guy tried to hit him or grab the ball, because I don't know. But cna't you see the difference between Sheffield and Artest? Someone threw beer on Artest and the Pistons jumped into the crowd and started pummeling people. Here, someone hit Sheffield in the face and he automatically reacted. Big difference.

Chill out man, I'm on Sheffield's side. I'm just saying that Ron Artest was the most recent suspension over violence that I disagreed with and was saying that it's hard for me to decide what is fair and unfair in punishment.

Hm, I'll bet you think what Ron Artest did was justifiable too eh? Yes Sheffield has cleaned up, but the punk beneath is clearly still there.
