May 20, 200619 yr It's been said something like this can put a spark into a team....do you guys think it'll do the same for the Sox? Brian likely got some respect for going right out there to defend his teammates. Do you guys think this will get him going? Discuss.
May 20, 200619 yr Author Anderson hits a sac fly, AJ crashes into Barret. AJ slaps home plate. Barrett grabs AJ and punches him. Pods tackles Barrett. Anderson and Mabry fight.
May 20, 200619 yr Brian Anderson will definitely have some pressure taken off his back. Fans will probably let him be for awhile, hopefully he can translate that to his game.
May 20, 200619 yr I've always found Michael Barrett to be a bit of a punk b****. He didn't do much today to help eliminate that label.

He is a total prick. He seems to think that he's some top-flight catcher, when middle of the pack would be more accurate.
May 20, 200619 yr Since AJ got thrown out for getting sucker punched, I think we should learn from this next time we are facing a top-flight pitcher than is going well. Lets charge the mound and get them thrown out for doing nothing. I understand the Anderson thing, but throwing out AJ? He didn't even hit back, Pods knocked him out of the way to get at Barrett himself!

May 20, 200619 yr That was pretty sweet. It's the first brawl I can remember since the one against the Tigers in 2000.

It isnt often that punches are connected, and after barrett suckerpunched AJ, BA went into berserker mode on Mabry. That was awesome.
May 20, 200619 yr Pods will not be getting suspended, fined possibly but suspended no. BA will get a few games probably about 3 or 4 I'd say. AJ might get a game, keyword being might. He should not be suspended. Barrett is going to be sitting out for a while.

AJ might get a game, keyword being might. He should not be suspended. Barrett is going to be sitting out for a while. I feel the same way. AJ really shouldnt get anything, he was going for his helmet, Barrett stopped him and threw the punch while holding AJ, but somehow AJ will get some of the blame. Whoever was flooding the Chicagosports.com poll results last year should do it again. So whaddya think of the fight? 29.8% A.J. was asking for it (205 responses) 42.9% Barrett was WAY out of line (295 responses) 6.7% Both are idiots (46 responses) 8.9% It's why I love the rivalry (61 responses) 11.6% All of the above (80 responses) Edited May 20, 200619 yr by kyyle23
May 20, 200619 yr QUOTE(OilCan @ May 20, 2006 -> 04:41 PM) Wow....even though AJ is about to get cheap-shot, good pics. Yes they are. Will most likely serve as Cub fan avatars for many weeks to come. I'm pissed that Barrett landed that right hook, even though AJ was unexpecting.

May 20, 200619 yr 1. I'm glad to see Pods finally show some aggression 2. AJ is God MOST IMPORTANTLY... I'm afraid Zambrano is gonna hurt someone tomorrow.
May 20, 200619 yr If AJ gets suspended it will be one of the biggest jokes ever. Anderson is looking at a few games IMO. I still can't believe it took the umpires so long to tell Barrett to get off the field. A riot could have started.
May 20, 200619 yr QUOTE(Linnwood @ May 20, 2006 -> 04:05 PM) Full Size you know, that picture is really funny blown up. Both Ozzie and Dusty are on either side of the umpire, BA and Mabry in the background fighting....its like a microcosm of the rivalry in a snapshot.

May 20, 200619 yr I love the fire that AJ has, he really did nothing wrong. BArret knows he f***ed up, and he will cost the cubs at least 5 games(minimum) BA just blew up, and any other player would do that in a situation like that. The cubs really awoke a sleeping giant, thanks Dickweek I LOOK FORWARD TO AJ'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE BRAWL ON THIS YEAR'S WORLD SERIES DVD!!!!!
