JoshPR Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Frankie Let the Latin temper in him take over, which is NOT easy to control sometimes. Frankie would have just gone to security and those Idiots who were heckling him would have been escorted outta the ballpark. Frankie had no right to throw the chair, but just because fans pay money to see the game does not give the fans a green light to heckle a player.

southsideirish Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 And deserves every dime of it. It isn't like the woman spilt hot coffee on herself. Some moron threw a chair into a crowd of people. I think she deserved the chair in the face more than she will deserve the money that is coming her way. JMO.

southsideirish Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 The woman's husband was heckling him. You don't throw a chair at someone, but you shouldn't sue over that either. I believe you are right. This is a big problem with this country, we are so sue happy. It is like the new American dream. The new quickest way to riches. The new easiest way to make money. She and her husband were the cause of the whole incident. She and her husband were the instigators. They don't deserve the money that is coming their way. She may or may not have deserved a chair in the face, but she definately doesn't deserve the money she will make from this incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Big leaguers can't get involved with the fans no matter how stupid or mean they are. There is no excuse for that. Maybe you should find out what they said first. What if I found out all of your children's names and your wife's name and said some horrible s*** that I was going to do to them. Then what would you do? You don't know whether to take theses psycho fans, who know every little piece of information about you, seriously or not. Who knows how far some of these fans will go and who knows what you can believe about what they say. Didn't the Cleveland fans make David Wells cry when his mother passed away? I believe they said such horrible s*** about his mother that just died the day before that he couldn't even take it. He had to leave the field and go back in the locker room to contain himself. Certain fans go way to far and to be honest with you I never understood the point of heckling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Witnesses already said all they said was along the lines of "which one of you losers is going to come in and blow the game" Noone's family was attacked that I have heard. Someone, I'm sure, will correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how far some of these fans will go and who knows what you can believe about what they say. Go back and look at what jackie robinson had to deal with when he first came into the league, and he never responded. You can't throw things into the stands. You just have to zone out what is being said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone, I'm sure, will correct me if I am wrong. So you honestly believe that? You honestly believe that some fans called a couple players "a bunch of losers" and that would make someone throw a chair at another person? Did you see Brocail's face? He was going completely nuts. There is no way that someone calling you "a bunch of losers" instigates that. I don't think you believe for one second that that is ALL that was said.

southsideirish Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Without the facts.. nice. :rolly What facts do you have? Whatever the lawyers have stated? Whatever the OAKLAND fans around them have stated? NICE! Like I said, it was JMO. :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't throw things into the stands. You just have to zone out what is being said. What is Jackie going to do? Not even most of the players playing with or against him wanted him there? Are you seriously comparing the two? If he ever did anything other than what he did he would have been killed. All he could do was sit back and take it. That doesn't make it right, but there was absolutely nothing else he could do. Don't ever compare the two. That was ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 So you honestly believe that? You honestly believe that some fans called a couple players "a bunch of losers" and that would make someone throw a chair at another person? Did you see Brocail's face? He was going completely nuts. There is no way that someone calling you "a bunch of losers" instigates that. I don't think you believe for one second that that is ALL that was said. I wasn't there so I believe what the witnesses said. So far all their stories match. And it was Texas fans as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then, I can't believe that someone, such as yourself, that can rationalize would honestly believe that calling players "a bunch of losers" could instigate something like that. They hear much worse than that every single day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 your not? :rolly If commenting on you makeing a stupid ass comment is making one, then I guess I am.

They hear much worse than that every single day. They do.. really? As many times as I have sat by the Sox pen (as I'll be doing tonight) I've never heard much worse than a "you suck".

I know that calling someone a bunch of losers won't set something like that off. You suck and a bunch of losers are pretty much the same thing. I don't think either one of those comments would instigate a fight such as what happened at Oakland. Then again that is just using a bit of rationaliztion.
