Jacko, what Lowell did trying to break up the DP doesn't call for getting a pitch thrown at his head. It just doesn't. That is upping the ante. Drop the psuedo-tough guy crap and think straight. Does he deserve a pitch to the ribs? Probably. You rarely see guys take that tactic in trying to bust up the throw, and that is all he was trying to do. But unless the intent is to injure and do serious harm, the retaliation shouldn't have the potential to do that.
And that is why I think you are losing without class. Lowell wasn't trying to hurt anyone, but you want his career threatened. What a joke? You keep tossing around throwing at peoples' head like it is no big deal. All it takes is one time, just one, where the guy doesn't see it right and doesn't react fast enough and then a season or career is lost. That's why you don't see balls headed for the head that often. Sure, high and tight happens, but not many of them are right in the earhole. If you really think that s*** needs to come back into the game, then my estimation of you has completely dropped. In the end, it's just a f***ing game, quit wishing bodily harm on those you can't beat.
