Default Would Randy Johnson be \'in the right\' to throw at Manny tonight?

or at least knock him down?

Last night Manny sat there and stood at the plate and admired his homerun for a really long time. It was even longer than Barry Bonds typically does it. Barry Bonds barely gets away with what he does because of who he is, but Manny, while a future hall of famer, hasn't reached the state of Barry Bonds and stood there even longer.

Not to mention they were still losing and it was just barely a HR over the green monster. The wind could have easily took it and bashed it off of the Green Monster (which, if I remember correctly, has happened to Manny before... admired a HR then it bounced off of the wall).

So if Randy Johnson throws at Manny or knocks him down... appropriate or inappropriate in baseball today? (This is addressing a more general question with a specific circumstance).

If you're a Yankee fan, do you really want RJ to be putting manny on base for Ortiz?

But yeah, some retaliation could be in order.

no, b/c most people realize Manny is an idiot who just does his thing, and he's never gonna change.

if they want to hit someone, it should be Ortiz for killing them.

plus, given the way RJ is throwing these days, Manny might catch the ball with his bare hand and throw it back [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If the play occured as you describe then yes, Manny has it coming and he deserves it.

He doesn't have to actually hit him though, he can just bring it real close up and in and knock him down. Although with Randy's control that might just end up hitting him.

You're right of course, temporary brain fart on my part, but I don't think RJ needs any more baserunners than he'll allow on his own at this point.
