Yes, fans will be fans. But that comment about hitting McCutcheon was funny stuff, and I took it as being sarcastic. There were other funny posts about how much it would "hurt" to be hit by a Leake "fastball."
In reality You don't do a preemptive strike, because when we go to Pittsburgh, payback would be warranted. It quickly gets dangerous. I suspect McDonald will hit a Red in the first, likely BP, both benches will be warned, and that should be the end of it.

You can understand McCutcheon's frustration. On a number of levels. Beat them 10-0 tonight and I am sure he'll be in an even worse mood.
I'm guessing Phillips takes one to the back in the first.
If that happens, I hope we get a good fight out of it (sue me, I find a good baseball fight entertaining), or at least another payback pitch. Chappy's wasn't intentional. I don't care if we're at an even 1-for-1 or not, there should be retribution if that happens. Or maybe its just wishful thinking.... I love a good heated rivalry.I'm guessing Phillips takes one to the back in the first.

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
I wish they sat BP tonight.
Ahh, give 'em a break. They haven't had MLB in Pittsburgh for so long that they forgot the rules.
(Honestly, I'd probably be upset too. But that's just baseball.)
Pittsburgh would be great if it wasn't for the winters and all the Steeler fans. It sucks.
I enjoyed my time in Pittsburgh too, it's nice to be able to hit a Jazz club from time to time.
I try to remember this when I see a car (here in CA) with Steeler plates. Ugh, just want to hit them
