oh ron washington.

in the fourth inning of the rangers game last night, mariners first baseman richie sexson decided he was tired of sucking at life and wanted to put a little excitement into it. so he charged the mound* after rangers pitcher kason gabbard threw a ball that was a bit high, but nowhere near the batter's box. the 6 foot 8 first baseman then charged the mound and threw his helmet into gabbard's back, who only wanted to get the ball back. it was not by any means an intentionally threatening pitch, but i guess the mariners were looking for any reason to stir some life back into their game, you know, after going run-less for 22 innings straight.

post game, rangers manager ron washington said, “i thought that was bull! how tall is he, 6-13? then you go out there on a little guy and throw a helmet?” oh ron, not only do you always look like you have no idea what's going on, but you're not quite the brightest crayon in the box either.
