The Mother Grabber shoved a guy thread

Post by IMADreamer »

I guess it was wrong. I'm not one of those guys who thinks players have to be Jesus Christ all the time. They take a lot of crap from fans and sometimes I think fans deserve a good shoving. Let's be honest you kind of suck as a person if you go to a ballgame and are swearing or flipping people off.

I'm sure tomorrow Adam's and the Cardinals will issue some sort of apology. The douchiest blog on the internet, you know the one owned by Gawker is already making fun of the organization and their classlessness because of it. Quite frankly if I ran the team Matt Adam's statement tomorrow would be "yeah I pushed that guy. [expletive] him, [expletive] Deadspin, see you in the world series [expletive]."

I thought MA was patting the guy for a good catch.

According to the internet. Also Adam's is the worst person since Ty Cobb to play the game.

I don't care about the fan in the stands, I care about Matt Adams. And he screwed up, hopefully it won't cost him time. I think there was history here - earlier in the game there was a foul ball over in that direction, no? I thought that the same guy caught it and kind of shook his glove at Matt.

Regardless a bonehead and unprofessional move by Matt.

That's always wrong--laying hands on a fan, that is--and don't be surprised if the FTOG gets a fine or a short suspension.

Of course, Frank Francisco only served about three weeks after throwing a freaking chair at a dude--said incident occured on Sept. 13, 2004, and he was suspended for the rest of the season--so Adams certainly won't be gone for all that long.

I like to think there's something of a spectrum between Jesus Christ and those who shove other people. One could maybe not be Jesus Christ, but also not shove people.

Having said that, I really didn't think much of it at the time. Thought it was more playful, but looks less so at that angle. Hard to say though. Probably something a player should be discouraged from doing.
