The video clearly shows TLR going up to Dusty. Dusty is getting Brandon Phillips back and Tony comes out and wants to get in Dusty's face. That is what I see. Just face it Molina, LaRussa, and Carpenter are the culprits and all of you Cardinal fans repeat what Tony says. You or your players can't think for yourselves. Marty and Cowboy had the best view and they neither one said Cueto was kicking anybody.
The Reds are guilty. The Cardinals are guilty. The fight was great for both franchises, the rivalry and MLB ratings in the region. The right player was suspended and both skippers were given equal punishment. What are we arguing about? Right now they are talking about our fight during the MLB Network coverage of tonight's LAD/PHI game. They are showing footage of the brawl. I'm glad the Reds are getting attention.
Both teams instigated the fight at different points in the series. If you think the Reds are only at fault, you're wrong. If you think the Cardinals are only at fault, you're wrong.
"Middle ground" is a great thing.
I hate the Cardinals. I hate the Cubs.
Let's. Go. Reds.

"Today was the byproduct of us thinking we can come back from anything." - Joey Votto after blowing a 10-1 lead and holding on for the 12-11 win on 8/25/2010.
Cueto was kicking people. It isn't like he extended his legs and kept them extended to just keep people away. He was kicking for all he was worth, not worrying about who he caught or how bad he could have hurt them.
What if the Cardinals players behind LaRue push him forwards at the wrong time? What if he loses his balance, looks up and catches Cueto's cleat in his eye? What if he loses that eye?
Players CANNOT use their cleats as weapons, even in apparent defense. The best defense in that situation for Cueto would have been staying out of the scrum in the first place. You're a little guy and you're the starting pitcher. Stay focused on your routine and let the position guys do the dirty work.
I realize I'm arguing with the same person who blamed this suspension on the race card a few pages back. I don't expect to make any headway here. :
I hate the Cardinals. I hate the Cubs.

WOW.....you are nothing but a troll...do you think I have not seen that video a hundred times? show me the video of JC kicking JL in the face....matter of fact, just pause it on the screen shot and link that pic, its easy to do on a video...which you posted 2 vids, so somewhere in there you should be able to get me a still shot of Cueto kicking Jason in the face.....I mean its right there, show me.
again, breaking news out of reds camp....jason larue is being accused of biting Cuetos feet and taking an entire toe off....He bit his pinky toe off. Its right there in the video. See how close Jasons face is to Cuetos foot? it had to be him who bit his toe off....Lets suspend Jason. see how retarded that sounds? Thats how you all sound accusing Cueto of kicking Larue in the face.
haha
Well then I guess Molina was just asking Phillips if he wanted to get a beer after the game.
MLB reviews video submitted by both teams. They gave him a 7 game suspension. This isn't some conspiracy to get him suspended. He kicked Carpenter in the back and kicked LaRue. There were plenty of guys pinned up against the backstop and he was the only one who kicked.
You know what Johnny is a young kid and he is not from this country. Who are we to judge. He is in a different culture and you see 50 people rushing against you your going to be frightened. He is a pitcher should he use his hand to try and get away. You Cardinal fans need to go take a multicultural class and try and understand where some people are coming from.
It really bothers me that Cardinal fans come on here and attack us personally for stating what we believe we witnessed or our opinions on what happened. This is a great site for intelligent baseball talk and not one to attack posters personally.
