Just saw this breaking news on ESPN. I have not seen any pictures or video of it. Anyone see it yet? Just says a fan punched him when he was chasing down a ball that dropped in the outfield near the seats... :dunno:

by **Harrison** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 9:30 pm

I saw it and sheffield is a fucking faggot.

That fan didn't even come CLOSE to touching him. He completely flipped out.

by **Rzail** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 9:41 pm

This was blown out of proportion. Instant replay showed the fan was either reaching for the ball and/or swiping at Sheffield. Personally, I think he was reaching for the ball. Sheffield cocked back but did not throw a punch. Was a good game to watch even though Yanks lost.

P.S. Bandwagon fans need not respond>Harrison!

There are two ways to look at it.

1. What if someone attempted to punch you in a cheap manner? How would you respond? Exactly.

2. He is a professional at what he does, he should not have faught back or attempted to. I don't think he really punched him back, just shoved him.

Sheffield is having some 'roid rage from his cream he used, that's all. Nothing unusual. He always busts out in 'roid rage when an ump makes a border-line strike call on him.

I someone tried to punch me in a cheap manner, I would take it like a man and shrug it off.

Like I always have...

by **Tadpole** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 10:52 pm

So if you were walking down the street, and a stranger just walked up to you from behind and clobbered you with his fist, sinking into your back, causing excruciating pain and pissing ya off, you would shrug it off and keep walking? From all of your other posts about calling people pussies, you seem like you would want to fight the fucker who did it and attempt to beat their ass. :dunno:

by **Harrison** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 10:56 pm

No, if someone walked up behind me and out of nowhere punched me in the back (fucking ouch!)

I would turn around defensively and try to find out what the fuck is going on before anything.

I am NOT a violent person...anything but...

I've been punched shitloads of times and not hit back. I am above that...

I defend myself when necessary, pride is worthless.

by **Harrison** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 10:57 pm

I call people pussies because they are obviously fake. So blatantly 100% fake it turns my stomach to think people use the internet to fluff up their personalities to a bunch of people they don't know.

by **Mop** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 2:50 am

yet you talk about punching people for being stupid all the time, huh

well maybe not all the time, but for a non violent person you sure do say it a lot

Good question, Aquaman...

Well... If someone "attempted" to punch me and missed and backed off - I wouldn't try to further instigate the situation. Why? Because the legal issues that would arise. If he tries and misses and then backs off and you go for him - YOU are the one in the wrong and will end up either spending time in jail, paying a fine, paying his medical bills, or a combination of the three. However, if someone tried and missed, then tried again I would lay the smack down in the name of self defence.

If someone took a cheap shot at my wife/girlfreind/whatever - then there would be no question - it'd be on.

He had no NEED to fight back. He was on the field and the fan was in the stands... unless the fan jumped out of the stands onto the field and chased him - he had no reason to retaliate with physical force.

I think that is the best way to handle it imo. Really the two times I have been in fights during a sports game were both me being the trouble maker starting it, and I can honestly look back and say I was being an idiot for serious.

That was just funny thats exactly like 2003 Steve Bartman at Wrigley Field lol

by **Tikker** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 11:30 am

shoulda hit him in the knee, then head with his baseball bat, yo

by **Gidan** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 11:48 am

The whole incident is just stupid.

1 The fan shouldn't have had their hand in play. Yes we all know everyone does it but it shoudln't have been there.

2. Sheffield should have walked away without a 2nd thought. I mean come on, he is a yankee in Boston. Of course the fans are going to be hositle. Boston and NY fans alike can be thje best and the worst fans around. The players should all understand that and just walk away. Let security take care of it. If the fan was on the field it would have been different but he was in the stands.

by **Aavar** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 1:52 pm

It didnt look too bad.
It could have been alot worse.
though hearing the announcers and commentators they expect players to jump in the stands these days and any one not doing so is showing restraint?

I think that is pretty sad.

by **Harrison** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 6:43 pm

He's lucky he didn't incite a riot.

He should have been lynched by a mob~

by **LostCause** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 2:35 pm

God dam Yankees should have learned by now dont try and pick fights with us come on you should know the results by now :rofl:

by **Mop** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 3:10 pm

You mean 1 meaningful win in 80+ years... ya that is showing them

by **Harrison** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 3:11 pm

No, showing them is coming back from a 3 game defecit and completely sticking our dicks in their mouths to shut them up in the WS.

by **Mop** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 3:18 pm

isnt that what I said?

ya that 1 ring is really showing them... I mean the one world series flag dwarfs the 26 at yankee stadium now...

Seriously, I hate the yankees but red sox fans are just idiotic now with their commentary.

by **Harrison** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 5:13 pm

I don't care about the past. I care about what happened in my time while watching.

Whoopty doo they won years ago a bunch of times...

They got fucking owned this time around, hard.

by **LostCause** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 8:35 pm

My point is clearly simple they have the bigger payroll of course they will win more but we always came so close and no other team in any other sport has come back from 3-0 in Postseason ok Never done before that makes up for all the years i kicked the side of my TV ok so give me this much mopp lol just relax dude and along the way Varitek kicked A Rod's ass and watching Pedro throw zimmer down etc ok im sorry if i love my Red Soxs Boston is more of a sports town than any City

by **Tadpole** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 8:37 pm

Hey man...where are the RedSox and Yanks right now? OH that is right, below the O's

fuckign ownt

by **LostCause** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 8:40 pm

Btw Jason Taylor Owns wish the pats can snag him seeing how we need to fill some big gaps regardless if tom brady is the statue to mold around

by **Tadpole** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 8:41 pm

Well...it is tough to snag a guy that is under contract (he just re-signed a big deal too not too long ago)...good luck though.
