I admit it, I'm a bit immature...

But there's nothing quite as fun as a base-brawl.

But it's even better when it's not the girly girly shove matches. When players come out swinging haymakers...business is business, but that's personal.

Quick recap for the un-initiated: When Coco Crisp went in to second in a previous game, Rays SS Bartlett "dropped his knee" which is sort of an unwritten rule in a "gentleman's game." Crisp's retaliation for this was to, on a steal attempt and up by four runs, slide incredibly late and right at Ray's 2B Iwamura. If you don't follow baseball or don't understand what that would do...that basically puts all your momentum and directs at the other players ankle. He could have ended Iwamura's career.

So, pretty much everybody knew that Crisp was going to get thrown at yesterday. And he did. But instead of taking first like a man, he charged the mound. Rays pitchers Scott Shields knew he was coming and threw a devastating haymaker...well, it would have been had it landed:


But the best part is...Crisp had pissed off THE ENTIRE ROSTER of the Rays. Usually when this thing happens, you get a lot of people pulling off others...in this case, not so much. Commence pile on:



Here's a link to the video of the whole situation.


But what makes this even worse is that in the post-game interview, Crisp sounded like a complete d-bag.
