League Reminds The Mets And Nats That You Arn't Supposed To Hit The Batter
The Mets and Nationals meet three times starting tomorrow, and Major League Baseball doesn't want any funny business.
After a game where Pedro Martinez and Felix Rodriguez hit several batters in a game last Thursday, including Pedro hitting Jose Guillen twice!
After being hit for the second time, Guillen charged the mound, bat in hand, ready to do some damage. He (thankfully?) was restrained, the bullpens also emptied, but no other violence erupted.
As if that wasn't enough, Felix Rodriguez was ejected from the game after hitting Mets catcher Paul LoDuca. Nats Manager Frank Thomas was then also ejected from the game for arguing Felix's ejection.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait for the Mets and Nationals game tomorrow!
