Thanks for posting this, Behrens. Mariners are my favourite team. I've never been really fond of Sexson. Sure, like Fukudome, all gloves are off with regards to using his name in an inappropriate manner, but this guy truly is a punk. This was utterly despicable, cowardice & just adds more drama and negativity to the poor start of the M's. I owned this guy in a couple leagues for a sum of 3 days total. Thankfully, it was a H-2-H. I'm embarassed we share the same air as this clown.

C'mon we need more brawls in baseball. They're awesome!

Link might still be on bugs and cranks. It was there earlier when I checked. And the helmet throwing was awesome. Totally classless and ridiculous, but not something you see every day. Definately appeared like Sexson was planning on charging once a pitch got near him. That ball wasn't even close, but hey, it was entertaining. I would be that angry if I was Richie Sexson too.

according to report just released (2 mins ago) : sexson suspended 6 games

Hey Andy,
I am wondering when you will do a piece on the surprising number of fat boyz stealing bases this year (Lance Berkman, Jim Thome, Aubrey Huff, Matt Holliday, etc.)
Thanks in advance!

I needed that win, too, Carlo! And not only that, the guy I'm going against has Sexson! It's one big conspiracy. Though, in the long run, I'd rather have Gabby.

Looks like Sexson can't fight any better than he hits.

It wouldn't matter how long they suspend him for. He is a wreck and the M's are better off without him in their lineup. He should seek employment with the Knicks, I think everyone's a winner in that one.

Bob Ryan on PTI just said
"He throws his helmet at him, what, was his purse not handy?"
What a great line.
Why the Mariners would even employ Sexson is beyond me, why any fantasy owner would draft him is senseless.

Hey Behrens,
You're off to a 1:20 start at Wrigley? Where do I get a job like that?
Are you guys some of Lee Elia's favorite unemployed bums?
Congrats on a win, you're still Seein Red in front..........

laird was slow getting to him and then bear choked him after bradley was trying to calm laird down ...milton bradley calming someone down!!!!!!

me and joey votto go to the same psychiatrist.

Oh to be a fly on the wall in the Rays dugout right now.
Bottom of 8, leadoff double by Gross, sac to 3rd by Bartlett. Iwamura hits it to 3rd base for the 2nd out, 3RD BASE? My 7 year old hits it to the right side every time dammit.
Shields, 9 IP, 1 hit, 0 walks, 8 Ks........ Rays 0 Angels 0, bottom of 9.

Bingo
Hippo has a new favorite Longoria!

18th. yes! i never get to say that

"(Important administrative note: We're off to Wrigley for a 1:20 start, but back for Closing Time)."
We? Andy Behrens is a collective now? Do you have a couple of those little talking heads sticking out of you, like in those ESPN commercials? Or is it something more heinous, like a stable of ghost writers!?
Or does the whole Yahoo! fantasy staff live together in some sort of bizarro Real World? If so, what effect do Brad Evans' man crushes have on the sleeping arrangements?
...Yikes.

mike b
relax, go wipe your v@gina and move on. It'll be OK.....Well, not for suckson

What a F'In Loser the pitch was up and away no where near him.. Sexson is an idiot totally hilarious..

Sexson has the worst swing in baseball. Any hits he gets are a pure result of guessing. At one time (many moons ago...ok 3 years ago) that wasn't the case. Yes, he has forgot how to hit.
He should donate the 15.5 million dollars he's making this year to someone like Votto, who's actually earning it.
Speaking of Votto...good Canadian kid right there!

I might be alone in this, but I think Sexson was fully justified in charging the mound....i only wish he landed a couple nice upper cuts to that p&$$y's head.....you throw at a dude's head, you deserve to get knocked out...you can kill someone throwing up there. Sexson reacted just like all of us would. As he said, hit him in the back of the thigh.
PS I am NOT an M's fan

Richie Sexson sucks

Michael B,
regards to your post, I was the one you were referring to. next time, perhaps you should take a second, read AND digest everything I wrote. firstly, name-calling is elementary and I really hope Yahoo! goes after your account because it's no-lifes with no true argument, or who HAVE an argument that lacks substance (total irrelevant rubbish) who post that makes me ashamed to be human. are you illiterate or did you not fully comprehend the quirky (downright cheesy) joke there? because it must be one or the other. lost in translation?
here's the sentence,
"I've never been really fond of Sexson. Sure, like Fukudome, all gloves are off with regards to using his name in an inappropriate manner, but this guy truly is a punk." note, the context in which I use "Fukudome." a joke because, broken up, it's a bad word. get it? ha ha? it's his NAME, not the player himself I used for effect. I was thinking any "profane" with an I.Q. higher than a doorknob's would figure that out....
your GRAMMAR make YOU look like the, quote "fukn uneducated retard." please, take the negativity outside, or....continue to be the cowardice piece of work you are & run your mouth elsewhere. I use "cowardice," because a man with any dignity doesn't post useless expletives behind a multi-inch screen in an attempt to improve a waterdowned point. if you're going to paraphrase what I'm saying, or knock on my comments, BRING YOUR BEST (that is, at the -very- least, understand what I'm saying). eh, Mike?
