What are the Rangers thinking

First off before today's blog I want to wish a very happy birthday to one of my readers, Happy Birthday Anna. now on to today's Blog



Happy Tuesday, and before last night I've never heard of Monday night Fights. Last night in Oakland looked like a scene from Monday Night Raw as ball players were throwing chairs into the stands. I've looked at my ticket from Fenway and it says beware of flying bats and balls that may fly into the stands, but nowhere does it say beware of flying Chairs from maniacs. I'm sorry but i don't care what a fan says or does to you but Rangers reliever Frank Francisco was out of line when he tossed a chair into the stands sending a fan to the hospital. Baseball hasn't seen anything like this since game 3 of the ALCS when the infamous bullpen fight happened at Fenway. Network Coliseum looked like Madison Square Garden and it wasn't baseball that I was watching but wrestling. If I didn't know better I would have thought that the lady who was hit was being paid by Vince McMahon and the person throwing the chair was Triple H. I can't believe that Joe Morgan had the gaul to say that it's the stadiums fault for having the stand right above the bullpens. Thankfully the Rangers have a very classy owner as Tom Hicks was quoted as saying, "On behalf of the Texas Rangers, I want to apologize for the conduct of some members of our club last night in Oakland. Their behavior, especially the injury to a fan, was unacceptable. Even in a difficult or abusive environment, players should never be provoked into such actions. I have been in contact with the Commissioners' office to determine the next appropriate steps." The Rangers were complaining about how the fans were acting, God this kills me to say this but do the Yanks ever complain when they come to the best ball park, Fenway, and get heckled. Or the Cubs when they go to Busch Stadium. Fans are apart of the game and these teams should be happy that they have fans, you have a Marlins game that happened to take place in Chicago and nobody came. Or the classic Yankee game from last Thursday when about 500 fans showed up for the start of the game. And Oakland announced that if any fan went onto the field then Oakland would forfeit the game, what is up with all the forfeits in the game today. The Yanks wanted a forfeit when Tampa Bay decided to stay with their families during a natural disaster but this is insane. The last forfeit I remember is when the dodgers had to forfeit because the fans were throwing food, drinks, and the Nomo bobblehead dolls onto the field, after a blown call. There must be a feud that we don't know about between the A's and the Rangers because last year a fan threw a cell phone at Carl Everett, even through he needs to have a few things thrown his way but anyway it seems that this is a feud that has taken on a whole new meaning. I didn't realize that fans in Oakland have to dress like Raiders fans to protect themselves from flying chairs.
