Ranger pitchers threw hard at Vlade's head 3 times,and hit Rivera(threw behind Rivera in Anaheim.)Vlade was hit hard on the upper wrist,but still hit a 3 run homer off the guy(Padilla.)Pitchers don't bat in the American League.I don't have a problem with throwing inside,but these people are throwing at his head,and not brushing him back(these pitches are at his head,and he is barely getting out of the way.)Angels didn't retaliate.I don't know how you can protect your players from classless people like this(unless you nail Texeira or Young.)When an athlete like Rivera can't get out of the way,you know it was right at him,and they threw behind him at Anaheim too.It's one thing to throw inside,and another thing to throw directly at somebody's head.Padilla is a drunk-driving scumbag to begin with.Halos somehow came from behind to beat a real tough- to- hit sidearm reliever.

Karma prevails. I hope Buck Showalter realizes what an ass he made of himself and the entire organization last night. Nice to see the Angels come back and win.

WOW....I had no idea that Curtis Pride was still playing. I remember him being a couple years older than me and went to school right down the road at William & Mary. I guess the being deaf hasn't had too much of an impact on him career as he is still going at it strong. I will tell you that he has to be one intelligent human being, as W&M makes no exceptions for great talent/no brains, in any of their sports.

I don't think the Halos would have won that game if deaf jam doesn't bat.The reliever had totally had a headlock on the team in previous games,and looked pathetic against his sidearm sinker in the previous inning,and Kennedy went down like a little lady for the 1st out in the 8th.Curtis hit a difficult pitch threw the infield.After that,the pitcher got to chok'n,and started throwing mistakes high.After the guy gave up enough hits to lose the lead(started with lead of 7-6,and was Halos 9-7) he threw at VLADE'S HEAD.Do we have a pattern here? 3rd time in the game that they missed his head by mere inches.

Now,tonight, the Rangers send Eaton to the mound.This guy was thrown out of the game in Anaheim in about the 1st f'n inning.Seems he didn't like giving up a home run,and so he threw behind Rivera.See,if these guys don't feel like they have their good stuff, it seems to get ugly.If the Ranger pitchers get hit,and fall behind by 3 or 4 runs,then they try to get the next batter out.If they fall behind 2-0 in the count,they just decide not to give him anything to hit,and they throw at his head.

Buffy seemed to need this refreshed,because she thought the Halos just went to the stadium on Wednesday,and decided to throw at the Rangers.It was predictable.Why should they stop throwing at VLADE'S HEAD?(unless they are aware that their own hitters will get hit.)

Showalter is a Major Chump! It won't happen, but the commish should get involved by making a Big example of Showalter, especially after Wednesdays' farce!
