If this had actually landed it probably would have hurt.

Has a punch thrown by a ballplayer ever actually connected?

(RACK the Princeton grad, BTW, for not backing down)

2 gaping pussies giving everyone around them a cold from all the "connected with" air being circulated.

Great thread, Padre dumbfuck.

Unrack both of these faggots.

Yeah, if that one had connected, someone might have broken a nail.

It was pretty sweet how Lee immediately jumped behind those trying to break it up, then pulled the "let me at him, let me at him" routine...the mark of a bottom-of-the-barrel pussy.

He must have been momentarily confused, and thought he was in the NBA for a minute.

Even Carmello Anthony thought that "fight" was weak.

this obviously doesn't to apply to old man nolan. he should still be on the DL from the 329 landed punches (all from his throwing hand as his catching hand was busy holding robin still. but then, nolan was an absolute freak of nature. rack him and his bestest alltime ML asswhuppin'.

Ask Michael Barrett. His face just recently connected with Carlos Zambrano's fist.

And Z's been lights out since. Props to Barrett for taking one for my fantasy starting pitching.

And D. Lee has to be a moron of the first order to think CY was throwing at him when he's got a no-no working. Priceless Cub idiocy.

I love this pic! If it were one of the Perry brothers they could have reached into their back pocket for brass knuckles, ever the pro, Nolan had to compromise and use his own

Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee swung at San Diego pitcher Chris Young after he was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning Saturday, setting off a benches-clearing skirmish between the teams.

The two players were ejected, as were Padres pitcher Jake Peavy and Chicago hitting coach Gerald Perry.

Not surprising at all that this cheap shot artist got involved.

Back in 1984, as a second year player with the Braves, he was involved in what is considered by many to be the greatest basebrawl of all time....

Braves pitcher Pascual Perez hit Padres leadoff hitter Alan Wiggins on the first pitch to set off a beanball war that escalated into perhaps baseball's ugliest game ever: brawls between Atlanta and San Diego erupted in the second, fifth, eighth, and ninth innings after Padres manager Dick Williams told Padres' hurlers they could use Perez for target practice.

Late in the game, Atlanta fans got into the act. One slammed a mug of beer on Kurt Bevacqua's head, and Bevacqua climbed onto the top of the dugout in pursuit before police got in his way. Another fan was taken down by Atlanta's Chris Chambliss and Jerry Royster near the third-base line. Five fans in all were led away from the action in handcuffs.

"Dick Williams is an idiot," said Braves manager Joe Torre, who was ejected along with Williams and 12 others. "It was obvious he was the cause of the whole thing. Precipitating a thing like that was inexcusable. It was stupid of them, period, to take four shots at Perez. It was gutless. It stinks. It was Hitler-like action. I think he [Williams] should be suspended for the rest of the year."

He wasn't; Williams was suspended for 10 days and fined $10,000 -- and the Padres went on to reach the World Series.

I remember watching that game on TV. In the second inning Ed Whitson threw his first pitch to Perez behind his head and it was on. Every time he came up to bat they threw close to Perez, who was cowering at every pitch by his second AB. Every one of the pitchers involved was ejected as was each acting Manager after Williams.

None of the articles I can find mentions this, but the one thing I remember most about the game was Gerald Perry running around the periphery of the fight, trying to find somebody who wasn't looking that he could blindside to the back of the head. He got Tim Flannery, for one.

I seem to remember a couple of other incidents where he picked a fight with 100 year old Dave Duncan a couple of years ago, and him trying to fight an umpire after a game, both while he was coaching with the Pirates.

Yeah, it seems everyone is an expert on how to throw down. Is there anyone on any message board to ever admit to having a losing record in fights?

Nolen Ryan worked at his Ranch on the off-season. He was doing a lot more strenous and dangerous work with his pitching hand during that time than he was giving Ventura a noogie sandwich. Ryan was one of the toughest and strongest SOB's to ever play the game. I'm guessing that when he wanted to punch someone, he made sure he didn't miss. Ask Ventura, I'm sure he'd agree.

At least Young and Lee threw punches which is more than I can say for all those idiots who puff up their chest and jaw back and forth until the benches clear so they don't have to throw down.

Did a Pads fan just try to crack on Cardsfan about franchise history?

Then again, as a general rule, Padsfan and Chargerfan are one and the same, so heavy doses of moronitude should be expected. I'm guessing their next star will be nicknamed The Babe soon enough.

Yep-which is why I take great delight in knowing that a San Diego team has never won a fucking thing and never will.
