PrintThis guy has something coming to him! They are talking about in now after they just came back from the middle of the 10th --- this guy is a punk and needs his sh it checked! Last nights reaction and stare down and now to actually sit and stare @ Koyie Hill after he tagged him out...like he was going to do something...
Hilarious --- Brenly showed it again and said Koyie would "break him into pieces"....great stuff by Brenly...he never holds back and when he sees this type of sh it happen!
He's a setup/closer man so there's not a chance he gets a bat in his hands...but something needs to be done....
Regardless of him hitting Ramirez was an accident or not...plus it was right after DLee's dinger (strange)....but after last night and then tonight....
Tomorrow we need to throw @ someone!

Suspensions
or injuries are all that will come from doing that. No thanks.
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.
In that case

No
You deal with it on the field. You don’t worry about suspensions or injuries.
Hunting season on the Cubs should be OVER. We’ll see if the Cubs are man enough to deal with it.

I suppose you missed the part earlier in the game where Z drilled their best player, Hanley Ramirez???
Seems to me the Cubs started it, and the Marlins dealt with it. On the field. So it should be over.
Not sure why you think the Cubs still owe the Marlins something.

Thats possibly
the dumbest thing on I’ve heard in a long time Worf. Yeah, lets get in a beanball war. Its not like they’ve been really healthy this year…
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.
There's no good way to do this at the moment.
I disagree with ballhawk respectively that the Cubs started it…Z hit Ramirez by mistake and the Fish responded in kind hitting our Ramirez in retailation. Fair enough…ARam was already hurt so this doesn’t exactly seem right but it’s still pretty much a wash. I don’t think anything warranted Nunez being an assclown, he just took the opportunity to be an idiot AGAIN after Hill ran right past him trying to beat out a hit. All this aside, Hill did the smart thing and let it go. Brawls or throwing at them will only cause this to escalate and have players from the Cubs suspended which will hurt us a lot going forward. Any retailiation should be from something else as Hill wasn’t hurt by a staredown…Nunez is an idiot but pansy enough not to start something. Gotta be smart and let it go until something physical happens, its about winning and I was proud the Cubs did the smart thing here.

Well of course Z hit Ramirez by mistake, as was Nunez hitting our Ramirez.
Yes, he’d just given up a homer to DLee, but it’s extra innings, they’re only down by one run – it’s not like the Cubs have a lights out closer coming in to finish things up. Marlins are very much still in this game. And what was the count on ARam – 2-2 or something like that? Nunez may very well be an assclown, but I doubt he hit ARam on purpose.
Now the whole Nunez-Hill thing.., yeah that stuff was pretty obvious and just as obvious, it was a carryover from the previous night. But that was a completely separate event from the HBPs.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
We had the chance to do something about it...
Aramis chose to be the bigger man and take his base. He wasn’t in any condition to charge the mound anyway. Hill wasn’t going to do anything either because he put the team above himself.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
I don't like the idea of teammate paying the price
For nunez’s jackassery. But another loss or blown save would be great

I agree with you ....for the moment.
Retaliating against a staredown while tempting from a punk wouldn’t solve anything and I was glad to see Hill be the smarter one, not letting idiot Nunez draw him into a fight that would have got him suspended…which definitely would be devastating right now. I am sure Nunez would be on the losing side of that like Brenly said, but until they do something physical gotta let it go and concentrate on winning.
by Sandberg's evil twin on Aug 2, 2009 5:49 AM CDT up reply actions
If Ramirez is not hurt, then let it go...
However, if he is hurt, their two players get flipped tomorrow. Not necessarily hit, but certainly dusted.
I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"
Has anyone heard anything about Aramis?
I’m not really even sure why he left the game. Len & Bob also seemed unsure.
ummm....
as someone who was at the game…
koyie clearly leaned into him trying to strike him as ran past first base, which is why Nunez stared him down
i have no idea why koyie “leaned into him” but he did and THAT is why Nunez was staring at him

nunez was being a jerk last night after he struck out k hill
He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

I watched that play, and while I may not have had as good a view as Dartmouth, I'll take his word for him "leaning in".
That said after staring down Hill last night, Nunez was looking for a reason to be a punk. He wants to intimidate the Cubs, as a smaller guy would knowing there was little chance Hill can respond. Hill did the smart thing and a staredown doesn’t warrant throwing at the Fish on Sunday, but it still was a cowardly move to me. You try to show you are tough and you get a reaction…acting surprised and angry is just a passive/aggressive bait move like everything Nunez has done so far.

Don't play nasty with Marlins
Seriously, that team has maturity issues as it is.
Look at the bad blood caused with the Mets two years ago (not saying it was just one teams fault).
Just hope Cubs don’t do anything that can cause a suspension or injury.
Last year, there was all this hand-wringing
during the Mets series.
Lilly plunked a guy. The world didn’t end.
You guys have to stop worrying

I agree with you..

Normally I wouldn't worry/care
But I was referring to Marlins/Mets not Cubs/Mets. The Marlins and Mets had some serious issues with each other including bench clearing brawls and lockeroom comments that had to be censored.
Cripes, here we go again
Every time a Cub batter gets hit, there’s an outcry on this site to “DEAL WITH IT!” We MUST show the other team that we have bigger balls!!!!!!!!!
The HBP was an accident. Retaliating would be stupid.
Hill brushed Nunez because of his antics on Friday, and I have no problem with that. Neither did Uggla, who pushed Nunez off the field.
That should be the end of it.

It wasn't an accident to hit Ramirez, it was the Fish choosing a good time to respond.
That said we hit them and they hit us, it’s over. Nunez stares Hill down, he runs close to him to show him he’s not afraid of a punk. If ARam turns out to be more injured than reported perhaps you think about it but you know suspensions and injuries can occur without a good reason like that. Gotta let it go barring further info. It will only lead to more players getting hurt and suspended when we already have multiple injuries with only 2 off days this month.

Bravo Sierra
None of the Cubs reacted like they thought it was on purpose. There’s no mention of it in the media.
Why there always has to be intent in the eyes of fans is beyond me. Ballhawk summed it up pretty well up above.
THE GOAL IS TO WIN THE GAME, NOT SHOW THE OTHER TEAM HOW TOUGH YOU ARE.
- It was only a 9-8 game when Ramirez got hit
- It came on a 2-2 pitch
- It came after a foul ball off Ramirez’ bat was dropped

All you have to do is look at what happened to the Brewers when they overreacted
Against the Cards and Cubs. I like the approach Pinella seems to have about it…calm down, wait for a good reason before you respond. That wasn’t it last night.

Exactly. Bush League Brewers get into beanball wars.
The Cubs should be above that.

The sudden upsurge in testosterone here while amusing is entirely misplaced.
Retaliation for Nunez’s antics are unnecessary and would more likely result in a Cub injury and or suspension, neither of which they can afford.

Guys...
I remember the hand-wringing over the Braves. Lilly plunked a guy.
No suspensions. No injuries. No nothing.
No one is advocating 12 straight bean balls at people’s heads. That’s the little straw man the “But they could get SUSPENDED!” crowd talks about.
One shot. To the ribs.
Message sent.
Now, if you wish to argue that Zambrano hitting H. Ramirez satisfies it, and we should move on, fair enough.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
Marmol has hit 10 batters. TEN.
If a few teams send a shot to Lee, Ramirez, Soriano, etc. That would make the point, too. You ok with that?

Clearly neither Ramirez was hit on purpose
and DLee retaliated nicely for Nunez’s antics Friday night (BTW, how was what he did any worse than what Soriano did earlier in the week?) so there is no need for any Cub to retaliate for anything. Calls for retaliation are just silly, plain and simple.

No difference
Soriano hit a game winning homerun helping his team, a team fighting for a playoff spot.
Nunez celebrated after successfully closing a game for his team, a team fighting for a playoff spot.
Soriano did his job, helped his team, and then celebrated … Nunez did his job, helped his team and then celebrated … no difference.

Ok CLTCubby, if you're so tough
why don’t you hop on a plane and head on down to Miami. Get yourself a field box ticket (shouldn’t be too hard) and wait for Nunez to come into the game. Then jump the railing and deal with him yourself.
You’d certainly prove your manhood to all those around you, not to mention a national TV audience (if you’re fast enough to get to him before the cameras turn away). Plus this way, we wouldn’t have to worry about suspensions or fines for any of our Cubs. Of course, the authorities would most likely throw the book at you – probably have to come up with some bail money and maybe a lawyer or two. But hey, it’d be worth it, right? Because NUNEZ would have been dealt with!

yup, just checked gameday.
86 MPH changeup. DEFINITELY what you use to throw at a guy… Get real man.
Looked like Koye kind of threw out an elbow,
so it’s not like Nunez was staring him down for no reason. Either way, he’s a punk.
Dartmouth said he was at the game and Koyie leaned into him.
That was retailiation for the staredown Friday…which brough another punk staredown. Slate’s even. I’m sure Koyie felt even better about it after Brenly telling the world on WGN how lucky Nunez was to have stopped there like the punk he is.

impersonate DLee and deposit a few more into the (empty) orange seats. and early. and often. so nunez can spend the whole game intimidating his teammates in the pen.

I like the idea of someone
“accidentally” hitting the owner of the Marlins for the lame goat trick that someone suggested yesterday better…..
