Red Sox-Rays game erupts in brawl

Sweet...

Coco is a punk for what he just did. There was no need to charge the mound. Francona should not have even started coco today. He's been fired up since last night and just waiting to charge the mound. Someone could have gotten hurt in the scrum. I'm glad he got his butt kicked

I hope someone puts one between Gome's numbers.

It may be time to take a look at Tampa Bay Manager Madden. The Sox aren't the first team to have trouble with the Rays this season and maybe even last one. Leadership comes from the top on down.

Didn't anyone else see last night what happened on Crisp's first stolen base? The shortstop, Bartlett, completely blocked second base with his leg laid down in fornt of the base as Crisp slid in head first. Bartlett didn't even catch the throw as it was way on the shortstop side of the base. As the ball rolled away Crisp was talking to Bartlett, I'm sure saying something along the lines of "If you're going block the base like that I'm going to come in hard feet first. "

Any video yet?

AAAAAHHHH...They grow manly men in the Tampa clubhouse...three guys...Gomes...Iwamura...and Crawford all take shots at Crisp as Navarro holds him down!!!

I used to like Carl Crawford... what was he..the fifth man in???

Looks like we have NEW rivals, as the yankees are weak and less of a threat these days.

Haha, a little angry for losing first place, huh?

Madden is to blame for escalating it all with his idiotic comments yesterday.

LOVE COCO

sick! Coco is so B.A.! that guy deserves it, nice!!!

Who said Coco couldn't hit.........Ask Shields !!!

I am dissappointed with the sox desire to get four guys off Coco. Maybe they felt he brought it upon himself. That should have been job #1, not square dancing with bench coaches.

Please grow up, our young children are learning from this ridiculous behavior.

Throw down, Covelli! Take no BS from those punks.

Did you notice who the first person from Tampa to go after Coco Crisp was. Johnny Gomes. This is nothing new. Gomes is the Devil Rays version of Gabe Kapler, because he's always in the middle of every bench clearing fight. In spring training, when Shelley Duncan slid hard into the Tampa Bay second baseman, Gomes charged Duncan from right field. After Crisp charged the mound and was tackled by the catcher, Gomes went after Crisp and gave him a few solid nuckles.

The day the sox get to brawl with TB is a good day! Although ever as sweet as the Yanks!

Gomes and Crawford must pay.

To be continued....

Coco is a limp wrist cereal fruit cake, that can't throw a punch. Go "Johnny the hammer Gomes"

Way to go Coco! Pitchers in the AL should never be able to sit on the mound and throw at batters without ever having to pickup a bat. Punch them in the face instead of jogging to first....

Mama said knock you out!

The Red Sox player are whack. They can't even protect his own team. How the hell a DH and Crawford can come over and got so much shot at Coco. The Rays are a bunch of losers!! sucker punch Coco.

ya coco ata boy

I suppose if I wrote "I love Coco and the Sox", my previous comment(s) would be posted...

Yet another fine example of a Major League Thug! Is there no sportmanship left in any professional sports team?

I'm certainly no fan of brawls, but Maddon's comments are ridiculous if he goes back to spring training and one of his players broke the wrist of a Yankee's prospect when he came in hard to the plate. And that was SPRING TRAINING! We're talking first place in the division here, and he should call a spade a spade.

A Tit for a Tat just a Cocoa said, seems perfect when it comes to fair play on the sports field.

They need to get real jobs.It is a joke getting millions to hit a baseball.How much do those soldiers in Iraq get to dodge bullets? just a bunch of egotistical baseball players.

I used to think that Coco was a good guy. After the slide incident I think that deep insid he is really a punk. The Red Sox don't need punks! Give him away to the Mariners.

stop the maddness, both teams should have been ejected. I'm talking the game should have just been stopped, and everyone refunded their money. players need to remember some of us have children who like the game and play the game,that's not settin a good example for the younger generation. handle their differences off the mound what a drag

you guys acted like little kids come on seriuosly. you are the best team in the world to me. don't act like your not or i will trade teams. just kidding i would never do that but still try to act your age.

i am soo cool

james shields is sucha @#$! #$^%$^ LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Suspend the whole team - red sox - for their actions. Coco Crisp should be ejected from baseball. He doesn't belong in a uniform - not even a red sox uniform.

Why does everyone think that this is important? These are entertainers, nothing more. No one cares how much Tom Cruise makes, why should we care how much these entertainers make? We pay-per-view to see people beat each other up, why not baseball?

It is entertainment, they are entertainers, and we are entertained by violence that makes no sense (i.e. WWF etc). Everyone like a good hockey fight, why not a good baseball fight? I say let em go at each other.

It isn't like it is important. Geez, get your priorities in order.

Everyone has emotions and feelings its how you deal with them and how you channel your feelings they both need to get concelling
