More KC bitching

I get the feeling that Pena will end up being like Larry Bowa where he might get the attention of a team at first, but I bet it wears off in a year or two..

 

-- An angry Tony Pena vowed revenge against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He won't have a chance to get it until next season.

 

The Royals' manager was steamed after Tampa Bay reliever Jesus Colome threw behind Aaron Guiel in the ninth inning of Kansas City's 7-3 win Sunday.

 

"If they're going to keep doing this, somebody is going to get hurt and going to get hurt bad," Pena said.

 

"I want you to know I won't forget about this one ... somebody's going to get it."

 

Just not the Devil Rays--at least not this season. The last-place Devil Rays almost certainly won't make the playoffs, and the teams aren't scheduled to meet again until next year.

 

Pena pointed toward his bullpen immediately after the pitch. The umpires got together and warned both benches. Colome and Guiel were ejected.

 

Guiel started walking toward the mound and both dugouts emptied. There was pushing and shoving before order was restored.

 

Pena said there was "no question" Colome's pitch was deliberate.

 

"He can say whatever he wants, I don't want to hit anybody," Colome said.

 

Tampa Bay manager Lou Piniella also said there was no intent.

 

"It's not like our pitchers have pinpoint control," Piniella said. "We're leading the majors in hit batters. And that's not intentional, believe me. The only time that we haven't hit a batter this year is when I ordered it ... for retaliation."

 

Both teams were also warned Saturday.

 

With the victory, the Royals retained a half-game lead over the White Sox for the lead in the American League Central.

haha. anyway the royals are probably just feeling the pressure, ready to snap at anything.

I saw that too.

I saw the pitch, he was throwing at him but it was a powderpuff fast ball. If would land an old fart like me in the hospital but wouldn't have slowed down a pro player

Mike, you didn't have to leave that last part in. I fixed it for you, though.
