Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1777220, member: 289"] Long time Mets fan here. 1) What Utley did last year was what players were taught to do for generations. Unfortunately, a guy was badly injured which is why baseball, which pays a lot to these players, has decided to crack down on it. 2) Utley killed the Mets for years as a Philly. That's what he was supposed to do. 3) If Utley had been on the Mets over the years, he'd be one of our favorite players. 4) Utley already got plunked last year in 'revenge' for his slide into Tejada. That should have been the end of it. 5) Throwing the ball behind Utley certainly intimidated him, didn't it? What 'message' was sent? 6) Yes the Ump over-reacted and he should be disciplined by the league for doing that. All-in-all, that wasn't "Baseball like it oughta be!" [/QUOTE]
