Sweet Brawl Between Marlins & Nationals

Nyjer Morgan the speedy Washington leadoff man charged the mound after a pitch sailed behind him Wednesday night, triggering a bench-clearing brawl during the Florida Marlins' 16-10 win over the Nationals. Chris Volstad (9-9) hit Morgan with a pitch in the fourth inning this time. Morgan then stole two bases with his Nationals trailing 14-3. "It's only the fourth inning, there's still a lot of game left," Morgan said. "If they are going to hold me on, I'm going to roll out."

Volstad threw his first pitch of the sixth behind Morgan, setting off a wild scene. Morgan took a big swing that appeared to graze Volstad's face – Marlins first baseman Gaby Sanchez clothes-lined Morgan, knocking off his batting helmet and sending him to the ground.

That hit by Gaby Sanchez, the Marlins first baseman was straight Deacon Jones like. Dude almost took Morgan's head off. And seriously, why don't more first basement get in monster shots during brawls? You'd think they'd be cutting people in half anytime someone went after their pitcher. You're basically getting a free blindside shot if you get on your horse quickly. I would love to see Miguel deliver some sweet chin music the next time someone heads to the mound after one of our guys.

Oh, and I'm thinkin that Nyjer Morgan should probably be more careful with situations like this, cause even his teammates wanna punch him in the face these days. And chill the fuck out with all that WWE villain shit as you left the field. You're not Robert Fick flipping off the Sox fans after the brawl of all brawls in 2001. That shit was epic and got him a peanut and beer shower on the way off the field.

PS - What's up with the Marlins' catcher chasing after this pass ball? The beanball was obviously planned and you knew you were throwing at a psychopath who would charge the mound, so why the hell would you chase after the ball and leave your pitcher out to dry?
