He didn't have any problem with it.<br /><br />Maybe I didn't see what he did? <br /><br />Here is what I think I saw: Fielder throw both fists and forearms directly up under Kratz's chin, displacing his helmet and virtually punching him in the face.BurressWithButterflywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466557816631165674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-41472475672667434132010-07-23T13:58:01.923-04:002010-07-23T13:58:01.923-04:00Not to defend JR, because I don't like him eit...Not to defend JR, because I don't like him either, but it's entirely possible that he called for retaliation from the bench and the team didn't follow suit.

Probably through family business interests.<br /><br />I think Russell should have been canned immediately following the game last night for allowing that Lard Ass Prince Fielder to get away with trying to bully us and decapitate our catcher. Russell should have either went after the ump for not tossing him or went over and told Macha that his next batter was getting a fastball in his mouth. <br /><br />Macha's a bit ridiculous with his whining over Fielder and Weeks getting hit all of the time, because Weeks takes HBP intentionally, but at least it is clear he has his players' back. Russell took no issue with Fielder virtually punching Kratz in the face. <br /><br />With that attitude, Robotron isn't going to turn a bunch of has beens and never weres into anything more than perennial losers.BurressWithButterflywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466557816631165674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-32011372079715630072010-07-23T11:37:43.718-04:002010-07-23T11:37:43.718-04:00Jon, that's not what I remember.

It was his Father Ogden who held the bulk of the Nutting shares.

Consequently, the team was sold to two trust-fund kids from family fortunes built on the fastest-dying industry in the world.<br /><br />Now in the past five years, no less than three local potential buyers have approached the current ownership group about purchasing the franchise. Two of those three are now finalists to own the Rangers. Thanks, Nuttings!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593035790909995842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-21643040274231975262010-07-23T09:27:49.607-04:002010-07-23T09:27:49.607-04:00I wish Doumit actually had some trade value.

If Doumit & Dotel were gone by 7/31 i wouldn't be, even a little bit, disappointed. Maybe we'll even get decent prospects for them? Who cares, just unload doumit, he's hard to watch this year.<br /><br />Crap... we prob can't trade someone who's on the DL through the deadline, can we? I guess it'll be another season of 10HRs, .250avg & countless runners being handed 2nd base after singles/walks!HomeRunFromBehindTheMeatballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153804542539188315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-83924905052281526582010-07-23T03:36:30.673-04:002010-07-23T03:36:30.673-04:00Doumit is a spaghetti armed lemon who breaks down ...Doumit is a spaghetti armed lemon who breaks down at least twice each year, he hits well half the time he is healthy, which is half the time.
