This guy should have got his assss wupped. Baseball fights look like girl fights anyway, but kicking a guy while he's squating behind you, that goes against the 'manly fighting' code of honor. Besides, if these guys are so pissed and so tough, why don't they just take the bat out there and start wailing. Bah. Girly men. Now hockey, there's a man's sport.

Izzy? Izzy? With a name like that they should have been suspended him for life.

Fighting in baseball is ridiculous because it is a good sport, unlike NHL hockey, which is all about the fights until the playoffs roll around. But what do you expect from a sport that has players on each team whose sole purpose is to fight?

there should be duels to the death, when a fight breaks out :) hell they're in an arena arent they?

One time when I was playing shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates I kicked Johnny Bench in the nuts.

The video of this is hilarious.... he whiffs bigtime on the pitcher and finally gets undercut by the 3rd baseman. I was laughing so hard... especially at the mule kick.

This is very upsetting. I was hoping that someday danny boy would put the past behind him and give izzy another chance as a boston player. That isn't going to happen now :(.

this mans career should be done. No temporary suspension, no fines, just done. This shows no respect for the game, no respect for the players involved, no respect for the fans. Purposely kicking someone in the head, who is NOT expecting it, while wearing cleats just crosses the line.

Let's not make any hockey comparisons cause hockey is played by some amazing athletes, but they fight like a bunch of pusses. Every hockey player I talk to says the intent of their fights is to look good. When I ask why they don't do certain things and the answer is always the same..."cause we don't want to hurt them really bad". then don't fight. Combat sports are great, but if your in another sport don't try to make all tough by starting wussy fights.

Before all you Canuks out there come screaming how hockey players are the modern day gladiators, why do they never kick with those blades on their feet? why does noone ever lose an eye? Gimme abreak.....

If your gonna fight, be a fighter. Otherwise you need to play the sport you play by it's rules, or get out of the way and let someone who respects the game play.

I3ullseye has said it all. Stick a fork in it.

oh, lets all comment on something we know nothing about. yeah, izzys crazy and highly talented. he came up to the big club last year, made some horrendous plays and got benched for the rest of his time regardless of the fact the general manager wanted him to play. this guy is tearing up AAA, arguably having the best season of anyone at that level. He gets two 90 mph fastballs whiz dangerously close to him (no mistake). the catcher calls the signs and is also the one who would stop him from charging. he must've rehearsed it in his head cuz he reacted very quickly. if youre gonna charge, the catchers gonna try to hold you back, kicking him down was the most intelligent thing ive ever seen him do. he just shoulda brought the bat with him to the mound. or a gat...

Bullseye Hossa knocked a dude's eye out! (can't remember who, and it was with a puck, not a punch, but the point is hockey can be BRUUUUTAL. Piss off Tie Domi and see what happens)


Did anyone see the way the pitcher threw his glove at Izzy? hahahaha what a pussy gesture! You't think he could throw his glove hard, but he threw like a girl! hahahahah!
 
2001-07-05 06:18:17 PM
hahahahaha This is farking hilarious. HEHeh i think that guy needs anger management.
 
2001-07-05 06:21:56 PM
Aggrop, punks like Tie Domi give hockey a bad name so people like Superiorstudio have something to bring up every time they want to bash hockey. NHL should try to play a more European style. Off topic but baseballs a dumb sport anyways :)

ty dumbie is without a doubt the biggest pussy to have ever laced up a pair of hockey skates , ive never seen a "man" duck and run from so many challenges !

No way, the farking hardest thing to do in all of sports has to be ACTUALLY WATCHING GOLF! Blech!

Kanon, Slayer, HTS. Yeah, yeah, yeah. agreed. I was just trying to tell Bullseye that fighting is a part of hockey, and it really does get rough sometimes. Just my opinion. Farkers like Domi and McSorley just show that hockey can be brutal. Point made. (Slayer- Bullseye made the mistake of saying no hockey player lost an eye, os something like that, and I thought of Hossa)

I love baseball, but what other sport can you chew a can of copenhagen and not have it affect you much. It's not too athletic, it's more of a skill.

This is hilarious. The guy is one angry sonofabiatch. Just watching him kick the guy, then go flying down the baseline and take a swing at the first baseman, and then keep going, is great.
 
2001-07-06 02:32:17 PM
Jeez what a wuss.. It was a BRUSHBACK. (Fast pitch on the inside to make the batter move away from the base) And this whiny sumbiatch gets all angry and attacks the catcher and pitcher. Jeez he's gonna be GREAT in the pros... :P
