That's more of a 'being stuck with the family during the holidays' kind of thing.

I think it should be perfectly fine to talk trash to baseball players during the game. But if you get hit you should suck it up. They wanted to piss him off so he'd mess up, and it worked. Unfortunately for them, it was in this way. I don't have much sympathy for a couple of a-holes who go to baseball games just to heckle players. They aren't there for the sport, they're there to be asshats. They were just too good at it.

my god, that picture is brilliant.

Man, I wish I could get hit in the face with a chair to earn millions...

It really sucked for that woman. She was in the wrong place or the chair pitching baseball player had bad aim. From the short clip I saw, it was some other dude who was pitching the verbal crap.

I didn't catch the whole story, was it her husband who was pitching the crap?

Correction...

They bought season tickets near the visitor's dugout so they can harass the players all year long hoping to incite one to attack them so they can start up a lawsuit.

Scum.

And the biatch looks better with a broken nose.

mialynneb-
MY thoughts exactly...its personality or somethin'

Suing the pants off the bastard is an American tradition too.

Okay, after RTFA'ing, I realize it was her husband that did the heckling. Jerk... she may not have deserved it, but he did.

So does anyone know what was actually said to set him off?

What a fat ugly biatch... I wonder if she would like it if people heckling her about her weight?

Hmmm... I had a lot more sympathy for her before I found out she and her husband bought season tickets next to the visitor's bullpen "to get on them a little bit." Looks like they should be happy that it worked. And as a bonus she got a free facial rearrangement.

she may not have deserved it, but he did.

He heckled using words and deserved to have a chair thrown at him? You people are amazing.

I hope this player gets what's coming to him: suspension, lawsuit, jailtime.

You're a big boy getting paid hundreds of thousands to play a freaking game. If you can't deal with some words, quit.

So does anyone know what was actually said to set him off?

"That pitch was as fat as my wife"

OK, bad attempt at humor

Yesterday, he was admanant that he said nothing and did nothing which could have possibly provoked this incident. Today, he says that he did heckle, but that it was just friendly ribbing. Nothing beyond Mom and apple pie.

I'ld lay down a $100 dollar bet that this Bueno guy spit on one the bullpen guys. When the news comes down that a DNA test is requested from the guy, that will be a good echo.

/still not siding with Francisco, but not interested in seeing this guy profit from this incident. Take care of injuries, but not profit.

Being a Philadelphia fan for all my life, talking trash to players, coaches, managers, other fans, and santa claus is an American tradition.

But not expecting a retaliation is your own fault dumbass.

Just my personal opinion and no way reflects the law on the matter.

Call it the code of the hecklers :)

The husband of the A's fan whose nose was broken by a chair thrown by Rangers reliever Frank Francisco described himself Wednesday as a veteran heckler who enjoys needling opposing players.

Looks like his wife really enjoys his shiattalking too.

Apparantly not everyone can spell. Why do people think grammar and spelling go out the window when communicating online?

Kuno
\syntax nazi

thats right gregoryd, its the first rule of the book, the unwritten book of the heckler and the heckled.

Big bad man with a serious case of rabbit ears has to throw a chair in the stands because he is too much of a pussy to actually go up there.

He was a fat ass pitcher, so he probably thought they would give him a DH to fight for him.

I'd lay down a $100 dollar bet that this Bueno guy spit on one the bullpen guys.

Nice. I'll raise you one and say that Francisco actually pulled a gun on the couple.

Speculation is fun, huh?

Echo?! Why the hell did I type echo in my comment?! I meant indicator

/long day

you know if i go to a baseball game i dont see why i cant needle the players, hell they get paid millions of bucks and they get all bent out of shape over a few words at a game. shiat guys get a life and some therapy, you get paid to throw a ball.

Wow. That lady sure did snag herself a trophy husband (relatively speaking, of course)!

I like how the Texas Rangers are responsible, and not the guy who threw the chair. Criminally, the chair thrower is responsible in that cow's eyes. But in a civil court, it's the deep pockets who deserve all of the blame. I hate people.

Too bad the chair didn't hit her in the mouth so that after if was wired shut for 8 weeks they could enjoy their new riches with a less beastly wife in tow...Please god let me get hit in the face by a chair thrown by a rich ballplayer. Please Please Please...

I'll see your gun speculation, and go all in with the realization that Francisco saw Osama Bin Laden and Bert hiding behind this woman. Thats why he bounced it off the guys head; to increase range.

Anyone else find this disturbing? Dude looks like he's in his 30's, good-looking, etc. And she looks to be late 40's, divorcee, etc. Man that's scary.

You know, if they guy went after him and threw a punch, I wouldn't care as much. But he threw a freaking chair. And if you look at the replay, he threw it without regard for anyone in that section.

And yes, the husband is an ass and it bothers me that he will profit from this. But she deserves medical bills and then some. Not millions, but enough to let the player know this kind of reaction is never allowed.

Scott Peterson killed Lacey for this chick?

Great logic from some of you. The CEO of my company makes millions to play golf and be a scapegoat/credit whore. Does that give me the right expect no retaliation when I talk about bedding his sister, dog, and mom in an Astroglide fueled feast of love?

Morons.

Just what exactly did the guy say !?!?

We really need to know. What if he came out with some deeply personal insult that was the result of spying on the pitcher's family, like in reference to their secret retarded son that they have to keep in a straight vest or he chews off his fingers? Or if he has a mom dying of cancer, trying to use that to piss him off. Think about it, it's one thing to heckle somebody, but it is possible to take it to a whole other level where even the most politically correct would probably go "oh man, that is messed up, well, I don't think I could handle that either."

We'll see how he likes being heckled for having a busted fatty for a wife!

PWN3D!!!1

Santa Claus? Howabout cheering when someone breaks their back?

WOO FANDOM.

The woman was assaulted. The player should be arrested and thrown in jail, and never be allowed to play baseball again.

I said it.

Heckling is part of sports... the players razz each other by trash talking; and the fans support their team by tryingto unnerve the oppossing team. This is nothing new. So, maybe the chair throwing was pent up steroid rage? Or maybe it was pent up anger at his inability as a pitcher?

she needs a bigger bandage to cover up that would above her neck.

perhaps this guy discovered the secret code word which makes pitchers go insane. Do we really want this statement to go public? More than the yankees, this could do more to destroy the great game than anything else. Truly a weapon of mass destruction.

As a gentleman I would give my seat to lady but this is rediculous.

would = wound

/Doh!

Just what exactly did the guy say !?!?

Whatever he said, he didn't say it to Francisco. I guess he thought he was being the tough older brother.

I'd be willing to bet that it's her attorney who's doing the talking in the photo. Newspapers frequently misidentify people in their captions.

Bumblebee Woman?

Morons.

Right back at you, pal (of course, real men spell it "morans"). The business you're in isn't quite the same as a sporting match. Not only that, Francisco isn't quite the CEO. The comparison was completely irrelevant and you lose.

The guy brings his mom to the game and she gets hit with a chair, please tell me thats his mom.

No, but you do have the right to be arrested for bestiality.
