Oh baseball.

Best part begins at 0:40 in, upper right corner, Tim forcibly yanked from the fray by his pitching coach. He did get back in there later, though. Well, sort of. It was more of an ineffectual hovering around the outskirts.

I find it a bit odd that MLB steadfastly refuses to broadcast footage of fans who run out onto the field, but when it's two teams brawling, we get uninterrupted coverage of the entire thing, from multiple angles. With commentary and lengthy analysis afterwards.

Oh, baseball. I may never understand all of your mysteries.

ETA: Thanks, MLB. Video now here, Tim shenanigans beginning at 0:26.

They sort of praise with faint damns, don't they? And Kruk and Kuip were so unabashedly pro-brawl. Although it never buys you anything but bruises and suspensions.

BUT I'M IN THE US, IT'S THE GODDAMN GIANTS, I JUST WANT TO SEE A FIGHT, MAN.

Won't play for me, but I assume it's awesome. I do like a good fight, even if I only tend to get hockey ones. ...Man, swimming should have more fights.

Apparently, Sanchez's beef with the Phillies goes back to 2009. Finally a slideshow that is useful.

Who was that Phillies coach/player with his arm around Zito?

LOL at Oswalt smiling at 1:40. <3

Because you know who you want on your side in a fight? Big Time Timmy Jim! (I just love how Righetti is all "HELL NO" and Tim's all hopping around.

Also amusing, if you have a chance to see it, is the footage from the dugout, where you can see everyone run by. "There's Javi. There's Romo. There's Fontenot. There's Timmy. There's Wilson." It's like a parade.
