The Fight...Part #3

[ManCrushOnNomar]

Gonna go out on a limb and call Chris Young a racist a-hole.

 

I'm not sure that is a great idea. I know personally I would not be very happy if someone went "out on a limb" accusing me of something without actual facts.

If there's footage of you mouthing it, then it's totally called for.

 

Has it been confirmed that he said something racist?

Thus the proverbial limb.

What footage?? What did he say!?

[Omar]

Press conferences yet? What did Young say?

[jjgman21]

love the Yahoo headline on the story.

 

"Lee's punch sparks Cubs-Padres brawl"

 

I guess thats true if Soriano walking to first was some wadded up paper, Peavey's comments were some kindling, Young's beaning was the firewood, and if true his epitaths were about two gallons of gasoline.

you get a pretty good view on the highlights MLB.com has up right now. I couldn't pick up what he was saying. Whatever he said made Derrek turn and say, "what!?"

I can't find any, can you link me to it?

[Balsa]

What kinda bugs me is all the fans cheering on the fight.

 

This isn't Jerry Springer, it's a Cubs game. Go nuts when we win, not when one of our star players is gonna get suspended.

Who is the Padre in the warmup jacket that grabs Lee from behind in a bear hug and sets off the second incident?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Someone just called into WGN Sports Central and said that he was in the 1st row and Young said something like "Take your base you ***", but I dont know for sure what the *** was.

Thanks! Zambrano cracks me up. Seeing him with his belt halfway on, ready to whip someone with it, is just awesome.

[radarluv1]

right before the lee's punch it seemed young got real serious and said he wasnt throwing at him, but it was too late as he already was in his slow motion delivery.

If I was about to be hit by a guy bigger and stronger than me, I'd probably change my tune real quick too.

With what Peavy said before the game I definitely think he was throwing at him. MLB needs to evaluate suspensions and take into account that starting pitchers need longer suspensions in order to have the same penalty. If they both get 5 games Lee will miss a lot of action while Young would just need to push 1 start back a day.

[mspcanes1]

So was Z whipping people with his belt? That would have been awesome.

 

i think he was getting ready to wrap the belt around his fist like a drunk does when he beats his wife and kids

who knows who is stronger, but Young is gigantic. much bigger than Lee.

[Guest]

I would think Lee as the hitter would be stronger, but yeah, Young has 5" on Lee.

[Abe Frohman]

 

All I gotta say is that Young better have insulted his daughter, because anything less makes Lee look like an idiot

 

BS. Did you not see the quotes in the paper? They threw at Lee because Soriano pimped his HR on Friday. All the work DLee did last year to get back, and this fool thows one on his wrist?

 

DLee did what I would expect from a guy who just had 4 months in rehab flash before his eyes. If you are going to come high and tight, you better expect some action.

[ManCrushOnNomar]

WSCR reporting that Young called Lee "something we can't say on the air" and said that that would explain why Lee went off.

[OleMissCub]

I kept rewinding and watching it over and over again and laughing at 2 things in particular:

 

1) Giles looked like a little kid out there running around.

 

2) Lou's gut dragging him down to the ground.

He completely lost his cool, and it's gonna cost this team big when they need him most (right now).

I'd think he'll appeal until Ward and Ramirez come back.

[PrimeTime]

On a Cubs rumor site the author said this..

 

Chris Young smiled at Lee as words were exchanged. At one point Lee said "What?!" and began walking towards Young. Young then said "Better get going, I might do that again."

[Balsa]

WSCR reporting that Young called Lee "something we can't say on the air" and said that that would explain why Lee went off.

Does that mean racist or just profanity?

They didn't say, but your standard cuss doesn't justify violence. Racist remarks dig a little deeper, IMO.

 

Commercial now, let's see if this comes out any time soon.
