Honestly, I don't really like him as a player. As a person, he is absolutely hilarious. You think Swish is funny? You haven't met Bobby. And his hair, now that's hot. He's a great guy, but I just don't like him as a player.

[Providence A's]

of course I meant he's a bum as far as a player...I don't know the guy. 3 - 2 in the 7th.

[hot_corner_gurl]

I know I realized that. 2 on, no out for Seattle. Blanton is at about 90 pitches. Keep him in, let him atleast finish the inning.

[hot_corner_gurl]

Oooh, a bench clearing brawl just ensued. Blanton shoved someone, and then all hell broke out. How exciting!

[Providence A's]

Blanton was trying to get the ball and all those M's were in the way...he has a right to the ball...he pushed Ichiro out of the way and that Ellison tried to start a fight with him while the play was still going.

[hot_corner_gurl]

Wait-did they reward Ibanez home plate? I can't tell...

[hot_corner_gurl]

Guillen hits a single, scoring Ibanez. It's 6-3, M's.

[Providence A's]

yea, looks like we're going to need to make a comeback.

[hot_corner_gurl]

Finally that inning ended! I though it might've gon on forever! We got 3 more ABs to post a comeback...c'mon A's lets do this thing!

[hot_corner_gurl]

Wait-Blanton and Batista were ejected, although it didn't really matter since Blanton was leaving the game anyways and Batista wasn't even pitching. Hopefully that won't turn into any suspensions. The A's can't lose a guy like Blanton.

[Providence A's]

I'd like to know why Ellison (reason the benches cleared for going after Blanton) and Felix Hernandez (came running out of the clubhouse!) weren't ejected...they need to suspended if Blanton gets suspended. I think they should anyway, but nothing will probably happen.

[hot_corner_gurl]

I'm assuming that Ellison got the wrong message when Blanton moved Ichiro outta the way, and Felix, being a young guy, probably just got caught up in the hype of it all. I agree, Ellison atleast should get some kind of punishment. So should Batista. If they actually hand out suspensions, Blanton probably will get one, even though he didn't do anything wrong, per se.

[Turn 2]

What happened in the 7th inning with Blanton. He was cruising right along and then BLAM. 4 runs in the 7th, OUCH.

[hot_corner_gurl]

GAH! Not cool.

[Turn 2]

Not cool at all. The M's lead now 7-3 in the bottom half of the 9th. One last chance for the A's. This could drop the A's 7 games behind the M's for 2nd place.
